Shunned at the Bric a Brac stall

Although the space allotted here can't possibly suffice to elaborate in detail on the long list of Mrs. Lynn the organiser's gruesome strictures—including the coldhearted, the stubborn, the domineering, and especially the ignominious—I'll use what little space I have to exemplify civility, kindness, empathy, and fairness.

One of the first facts we should face is that the most brutal schmoes you'll ever see are somehow fascinated by Mrs. Lynn the organiser's deluded diablerie, just as a dove is sometimes charmed by a glittering serpent. Unfortunately for such people, Mrs. Lynn the organiser adamantly maintains that it's inappropriate to teach children right from wrong.

Such beliefs would be entirely factual if it weren't for reality. As it stands, we must give to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance. I am hurt, furious, and embarrassed. Why am I hurt? Because this isn't some totalitarian regime where Our Glorious Leader can kill anybody that he feels is a threat or even a “problem”. So why do so most people sit around and do nothing while Mrs. Lynn the organiser is out forcing us to adopt rigid social roles that compromise our inner code of ethics?

I apologize if my answer is perceived as ignotum per ignotius, but what I'm about to say can't be understood unless one realizes that if we look beyond Mrs. Lynn the organiser's delusions of grandeur, we see that by brainwashing her eulogists with quislingism, she makes them easy to lead, easy to program, and easy to enslave.

Why am I furious? Because I don't know what bothers me most about her. Is it her specious arguments, her illogical reasoning, her obscurantist claims, her unreasonable speculations, or any of the many forms of pseudoscholarship we see in her demands? In any case, if Mrs. Lynn the organiser's charg!s d'affaires had even an ounce of integrity they would reinforce what is best in people.

And why am I embarrassed? Because either Mrs. Lynn the organiser has no real conception of the sweep of history, or she is merely intent on winning some debating pin by trying to pierce a hole in my logic with “facts” that are taken out of context.

Mrs. Lynn the organiser thinks it's good that her allocutions foster debauchery. It is difficult to know how to respond to such monumentally misplaced values, but let's try this: The irony is that her most asinine claims are also her most inane. As the French say, “Les extremes se touchent.” The legality of her militant, disruptive precepts seems dubious. Alas, I am not aware of any lawsuit that has challenged them so all we can say for now is that Mrs. Lynn the organiser loves getting up in front of people and telling them that sectarianism is absolutely essential to the well-being of society.

She then boasts about how she'll preach a propaganda of hate when you least expect it. It's all part of the media spectacle that is Lynn the organiser. Of course, she soaks it up and wallows in it like a pig in mud. Speaking of pigs and mud, Mrs. Lynn the organiser's power-drunk circulars have created a class of dependent supplicants and special interests. Sadly, providing for their needs and wants is leading us towards economic sclerosis. All we can do now is make some changes here.

I feel this way because Mrs. Lynn the organiser does not tolerate any view that differs from her own. Rather, she discredits and discards those people who contradict her along with the ideas that they represent. I could go on for pages listing innumerable examples of her lascivious slurs and repulsive theories. I have already written enough, surely, to convince you that Mrs. Lynn the organiser sometimes puts herself in charge of belittling all fine social standards.

At other times, one of her worshippers is deputed for the job. In either case, it's not necessarily difficult to straighten out our thinking and change the path we're on. We can begin simply by helping people help themselves. See? I told you it wasn't necessarily difficult. We just need to remember that I am not trying to save the world—I gave up that pursuit a long time ago.

But I am trying to build bridges where in the past all that existed were moats and drawbridges. In the beginning of this letter, I promised you details, but now I'm running out of space. So here's one detail to end with: Mrs. Lynn the organiser has no conscience and therefore no feelings of guilt for coordinating a revolution.

If this is a real issue, then what are you looking for? Pat on the back or genuine feel good? If the former, make a big show of doing more next time. If the latter, then do more community stuff, organise cleanups etc, outreach, lead from the front.

If this isn't genuine and just diluting a serious forum section maybe request it gets moved to the right section.

I have just googled hatchimals, as I didn't have a clue what they were.

Personally I would have left the hatchimal there - sounds like a toaster is much too good for these people - at least it's practical (depends if it's a 4 or 2 slicer).
