The prerequisite to understanding this letter is to have encountered some of Barbu's actions and to have realized how empty-headed they are. This in mind, I would like to bring the communion of knowledge to all of us. His off-the-cuff comments all stem from one, simple, faulty premise -- that ethical responsibility is merely a trammel of earthbound mortals and should not be required of a demigod like him. And what of it? If he honestly believes that some of my points are not valid, I would love to get some specific feedback from him. I have now said everything there is to say. So, to summarize it all, Barbu presents quasi-scientific and pseudointellectual justifications for his piteous obiter dicta in order to convince people that cannibalism, wife-swapping, and the murder of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior.

I only understood "wife-swapping".

As Barbu's partner I would like to give King Gman a piece of my mind....
There is currently a lot of controversy about King Barbu My partner's expedients, and I know that any letter on the subject will almost certainly cause someone to oppress, segregate, and punish him. Still, King Gman's manuscripts reek of so much insurrectionism that the smell makes me nauseated. As this letter will make clear, Gman makes assertions that strain credulity. That's self-evident, and even muppet boy would probably agree with me on that. Even so, on a television program last night, I heard one of this country's top scientist Paal concluded that, "I, hardheaded cynic that I am, commend to your earnest and philosophical consideration Ernie guy's plan to provide disdainful mythomaniacs with a milieu in which they can dress up his profit motive in the cloak of selfless altruism." That's exactly what I have so frequently argued and I am pleased to have my view confirmed by so eminent an individual. He constantly insists that he has been robbed of all he does not possess. But he contradicts himself when he says that superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles. It's precisely because King G-dog's claim of fairness is demonstrably false that it has long been obvious to attentive observers that G row's theories are sheer hypothesis -- speculation with not even a scintilla of circumstantial evidence to support them. But did you know that mudslinging is his forte? He doesn't want you to know that because by excluding any possibility of comparison, he can easily pass off his own convictions as works of genius. Let me recap that for you, because it really is extraordinarily important: You should never forget the three most important facets of his opuscula, namely their scabrous origins, their internal contradictions, and their tendentious nature. Just wait until someone gets hurt as a result of Gdog's ballyhoos. Then, more people will agree that he hurts people wherever they may be, penthouse or poorhouse. I'll stand by that controversial statement and even assume that most readers who bring their own real-life experience will agree with it. At a bare minimum, G and Tubs's ideas reek of tribalism. I use the word "reek" because there's something severely wrong with this picture. Once we realize that, what do we do? The appropriate thing, in my judgment, is to launch an all-out ideological attack against the forces of Marxism. I say that because he has been known to "prove" statistically that space gods arriving in flying saucers will save humanity from self-destruction. As you might have suspected, his proof is flawed. The primary problem with it is that it replaces a legitimate claim of association with an illegitimate claim of causality. Consequently, rowing mupptet's "proof" demonstrates only that antipluralism has served as the justification for the butchering, torture, and enslavement of more people than any other "ism". That's why it's our arch enemies favorite; it makes it easy for themm to infiltrate the media with the express purpose of disseminating ruthless information. What I had wanted for this letter was to write an analysis of King Gman's endeavors. Not an exhortation or a shrill denunciation, but an analysis. I hope I have succeeded at that.


Have a nice day beeatch!

I will be gone Fri a.m. (+24 hours from this post) until Monday a.m. (+96 hours from this post)

In the mean time can my saves be sent to Rik? If the turn comes to me by +10 hours from now I can play tonight. If it is after that I will be gone.

Sorry for the inconvienence.
