Yeah, I really don’t see how this addressed Larry Doby at all. You are one confused sort Alaister Poindexter, if this is indeed your real name!!

Actually, now I’ve re-read it and it’s pretty clever. Good on ya. I still don’t get the angle, unless it’s just someone wanting to be clever, to which I say: Good on ya.

Too bad, that comment would have been way more fun if it had popped up on one of our typical posts and not one about, um, Larry Doby. Unfortunately, now I don’t even get to hope secretly that it’s somehow real. There is some useful stuff in there, though– I like the bits about sweetness and light, and about sadism making the world right. That’s excellent, whoever thought that up.

I don’t really get the angle here, but I’m disappointed that this isn’t somehow real.

My complaint about Terrace Agenda
The topic I want to cover in this letter is big and complex, and I don’t have much in the way of scientific data on it. Nor do I have a lot of hard statistics, just a number of general observations and a good bit of specific anecdotal material. For starters, Terrace Agenda either is or elects to be ignorant of scientific principles and methods. It even intentionally misuses scientific terminology to move increasingly towards the establishment of a totalitarian Earth.
We have a right, an indisputable, inalienable, indefeasible, divine right to proscribe Terrace Agenda and its fans as the most dangerous enemies of the people, period. “What’s that?”, I hear you ask. “Is it true that Terrace Agenda’s the type of organization who would intensify or perpetuate communism if it got the chance?” Why, yes, it is.
On several occasions I have heard Terrace Agenda state that its doctrines are all sweetness and light. I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a comment. What I consider far more important though is that in order to convince us that it is a spokesman for God, Terrace Agenda often turns to the old propagandist trick of comparing results brought about by entirely dissimilar causes. If I hear Terrace Agenda’s admirers say, “Embracing a system of sadism will make everything right with the world” one more time, I’m indeed going to throw up. Everything I’ve written in this letter amounts to this: I want to speak in the strongest possible terms against Terrace Agenda’s methods of interpretation.
