the nutball posting as "George M. Middius" ranted:


Thing, you've outdone yourself. Really. I'm referring to your
fantastical
hypothesizing about JA's "true" motivation for inviting the Krooborg
to a
one-on-one debate. You embraced the seemingly bizarre notion that the
Krooborg and its "objectivist" ilk have a meaningful viewpoint, and
you
presented it entirely seriously. No trace of humor, irony, or satire
could
be found. The juxtaposition of creativity and a serious tone served
to
reinforce your peculiar notion that the Krooborg is worth saving, and
also
attempted to demean Stereophile and, by extension, the entire
E.H.E.E. It
was very creative of you, especially considering how grim and
pugnacious
you usually are.

If it had been me, I couldn't have restrained myself from adding some
humor. I might've referred to JA's imagined army of spin doctors,
working
overtime to protect the cash cow that is the E.H.E.E. from the
ravages of
the "debating trade". I'd have said the livelihoods and profit
margins of
a huge array of greedy con artists are at risk of being exposed by
the
merciless assault of Kroologic and spontaneous factuation. I'd have
hinted
at dark doings on the part of the E.H.E.E.'s contingent of fixers,
who had
"obviously" been dispatched to spread bribes throughout the ranks of
overpaid audio journalists in order to mute their reporting of the
ferocious assault to be wreaked by the Krooborg. And I'd do it all
with
galloping, overreaching, run-on sentences to convey the enormity of
the
conspiracy and the widespread panic now rippling throughout the
E.H.E.E.

But not you. In a tastefully understated presentation, you simply put
forward your ideas, banking on the inherent beauty of their
truthfulness
to propel them through the currents of controversy. Well done, Thing.
May
your respirator function flawlessly for the remainder of your
existence.



So saith Lord Atkinson, "my invitation is to debate me in person,
something you have wished for and I have felt necessary":

Right there in Google, from the horse's mouth, "George": "necessary".


Enjoy!;-)
