This was something I discovered the other day.

I bet many people will buy it. Well until they google the first line
Over the past few weeks, I've learned to look past Mr. Crackpot's haughty, testy inclinations. I've learned to look past some of the splenetic things Crackpot has said. I've even learned to look past his attempts to call for ritualistic invocations of needlessly formal rules. But I cannot stay silent about Crackpot's incomprehensible and unforgivable audacity regarding a specific event that recently occurred. Let's start with my claim that if I want to react violently, that should be my prerogative. I don't need Crackpot forcing me to. Why can't we find even one well-designed, peer-reviewed, longitudinal study that clearly demonstrates that if he kicks us in the teeth, we'll then lick his toes and beg for another kick? Probably because no comprehensive study has ever drawn such a closed-minded conclusion. In contrast, many studies indicate that if I were to compile a list of Crackpot's forays into espionage, sabotage, and subversion, it would fill an entire page and perhaps even run over onto the following one. Such a list would surely make every sane person who has passed the age of six realize that I wouldn't judge Crackpot's lapdogs too harshly. They're clearly just cannon fodder for Crackpot's plot to don the mantel of exclusionism and jawbone aimlessly.
So don't tell me that in times of economic, social, or political crisis, small groups that bowdlerize all unfavorable descriptions of Crackpot's warnings suddenly gain a mass following just because he is all too typical of the sort of peremptory parasites who convince people that their peers are already riding the Crackpot bandwagon and will think ill of them if they don't climb aboard, too. He says that everyone with a different set of beliefs from his is going to get a one-way ticket to Hell. What he means by this, of course, is that he wants free reign to have a serious destabilizing effect on our institutions. Even his cheerleaders are afraid that he will panic irrationally and overreact completely in the near future. I, hardheaded cynic that I am, have seen their fear manifested over and over again, and it is further evidence that most people want to be nice; they want to be polite; they don't want to give offense. And because of this inherent politeness, they step aside and let Crackpot give lunatics control of the asylum.
