Let's do this error. And don't hold back

When I first read some of Sir Glitteringfairy's hate sheets, I found myself at a total loss for words. Okay, not really; you're about to read a whole heck of a lot of words I wrote in response. Unless you share my view that for all Sir Glitteringfairy's bombast about freedom, liberty, and tolerance, he still wants to manipulate everything and everybody, there's no need for you to hear me further. I may not be perfect, but at least I'm not afraid to say that if we're not careful, Sir Glitteringfairy's debauched, cuckoo jobations will throw us into a third world war in the coming days. I can easily see Sir Glitteringfairy performing the following nocent, feckless acts. First, he will pit race against race, religion against religion, and country against country. Then, he will deface a social fabric that was already deteriorating. I do not profess to know how likely is the eventuality I have outlined, but it is a distinct possibility to be kept in mind.

Sir Glitteringfairy's sycophants' thinking is fenced in by many constraints. Their minds are not free because they dare not be. I suppose we could get Sir Glitteringfairy to shut up by introducing disease, ignorance, squalor, idleness, and want into affluent neighborhoods. Obviously, that Sir Glitteringfairy-esque scheme is akin to throwing out the baby with the bath water. Let me propose instead that we prevent Sir Glitteringfairy's temeritous histrionics from spreading like a malignant tumor. I suppose another good option, though, would be to operate on today's realnot tomorrow's idealpolitical terrain. In either case, when one examines the ramifications of letting Sir Glitteringfairy ensure that all of the news we receive is filtered through a narrow ideological prism, one finds a preponderance of evidence leading to the conclusion that he has repeatedly threatened to retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity. Maybe that's just for maximum scaremongering effect. Or maybe it's because Sir Glitteringfairy decries or dismisses capitalism, technology, industrialization, and systems of government borne of Enlightenment ideas about the dignity and freedom of human beings. These are the things that he fears because they are wedded to individual initiative and responsibility. Does anybody else feel the way I do, or am I alone in my disgust with Sir Glitteringfairy?
