Before I begin, let me point out that if Punkworld opened his eyes, he'd realize that authority without wisdom is mere noise against the music of eternity. When we put inexorable pressure on him to be a bit more careful about what he says and does, we are not only threading our way through a maze of competing interests; we are weaving the very pattern of our social fabric. The dominant characteristic of his crafty equivocations is not that they create some misguided, pseudo-psychological profile of me to discredit my opinions, but that, in the bargain, they commit senseless acts of violence against anyone daring to challenge his offensive smear tactics. At the risk of sounding hopelessly nettlesome, only the impartial and unimpassioned mind will even consider that Punkworld's victims have been speaking out for years. Unfortunately, their voices have long been silenced by the roar and thunder of Punkworld's emissaries, who loudly proclaim that all it takes to solve our social woes are shotgun marriages, heavy-handed divorce laws, and a return to some mythical 1950s Shangri-la. Regardless of those beer-guzzling proclamations, the truth is that he parrots whatever ideas are fashionable at the moment. When the fashions change, his ideas will change instantly, like a weathercock. Let me leave you with one last thought: I, for one, find Punkworld's fondness for inquisitions, witch hunts, star chambers, and kangaroo courts most self-deceiving.

In short, you say you don't agree with me (in very pompous words), you accuse me of ideas I never said I have, and accuse me of following "political fashion". However, you fail to bring up even one solid argument.
Try refuting my argumentations, instead of trying to refute me as a person. I really don't care if you like the way I talk, I care if you can provide a solid argumentation for your opinions. It seems you can not.
