I have two orders of business regarding Fred. First things first: If we bear witness to the plain, unvarnished truth, then the sea of pessimism, on which Fred so heavily relies, will begin to dry up. I am being utterly serious when I say that unlike him, when I make a mistake I'm willing to admit it. Consequently, if -- and I'm bending over backwards to maintain the illusion of "innocent until proven guilty" -- Fred were not actually responsible for trying to grant a free ride to the undeserving, then I'd stop saying that implying that university professors must conform their theses and conclusions to Fred's superstitious prejudices if they want to publish papers and advance their careers is no different from implying that the majority of avaricious, brainless killjoys are heroes, if not saints. Both statements are ludicrous. The baneful nature of his ploys is not just a rumor. It is a fact to which I can testify.
While we all despair over Fred's featherbrained arguments, we must also remember the principles that will guide our better behaviors and higher aspirations. On the other hand, Fred says that his complaints are Holy Writ. What he means by this, of course, is that he wants free reign to test another formula for silencing serious opposition. I have never been in favor of being gratuitously abominable. I have also never been in favor of sticking my head in the sand or of refusing to call a spade a spade.
Fred's treatment of communism mirrors the attitude that many grotesque thought police hold towards unilateralism. You may have detected a hint of sarcasm in the way I phrased that last statement, but I assure you that I am not exaggerating the situation. If Fred gets his way, none of us will be able to maintain social tranquillity. Therefore, we must not let Fred take advantage of human fallibility to suppress people's instinct and intellect. Every time he gets caught trying to extend his 15 minutes of fame to 15 months, he promises he'll never do so again. Subsequently, his pals always jump in and explain that he really shouldn't be blamed even if he does, because, as they maintain, a knowledge of correct diction, even if unused, evinces a superiority that covers cowardice or stupidity. Human life is full of artificiality, perversion, and misery, much of which is caused by predaceous, dodgy publishers of hate literature. Carry on...
