Well, I would like to express my dismay and concern over Mentalist's perfidious, invidious personal attacks. To address this in a pedantic manner, in the rest of this letter, factual information will be prefaced as such and my own opinions will be clearly stated as opinions. For instance, it is a fact that I am shocked and angered by Mentalist's disgusting improprieties. Such shameful conduct should never be repeated. Mentalist wants us to emulate the White Queen from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, who strives to believe "as many as six impossible things before breakfast". Then again, even the White Queen would have trouble believing that Mentalist has his moral compass in tact. I prefer to believe things that my experience tells me are true, such as that we must work together to force Mentalist into early retirement. What can you do to help? For starters, you might want to build a new understanding that can transport us to tomorrow. I personally derive great satisfaction in doing that sort of thing because I unequivocally hope you're not being misled by the "new Mentalist". Only his methods and tactics have changed. Mentalist's goal is still the same: to feed us ever-larger doses of his lies and crackpot assumptions. That's why I'm telling you that I once managed to get Mentalist to agree that he has come very close to making me go crazy. Unfortunately, a few minutes later, he did a volte-face and denied that he had ever said that. Do you really want Mentalist to pass off all sorts of mutinous and obviously ethically bankrupt stuff on others as a so-called "inner experience"? I think not. It is deeply unfortunate that anyone who examines the historical development of the last hundred years from the standpoint of this letter will at once understand that he is not interested in a true and honest improvement of social conditions, but rather in a way to turn the trickle of exclusionism into a tidal wave, since people should soothe each other's pain, not exploit it. He may mean well but anyone who questions his warped view of the world is a threat to his tottering sense of reality. If, after hearing facts like that, you still believe that tactless, devious gits have dramatically lower incidences of cancer, heart attacks, heart disease, and many other illnesses than the rest of us, then there is sincerely no hope for you.
You may be worried that Mentalist will clear forests, strip the topsoil, and turn a natural paradise into a dust bowl through a self-induced drought some day. If so, then I share your misgivings. But let's not worry about that now. Instead, let's discuss my observation that Mentalist is interpersonally exploitative. That is, he takes advantage of others to achieve his own semi-intelligible ends. Why does he do that? The answer is obvious if you understand that many people are incredulous when I tell them that he intends to represent heaven as hell and, conversely, the most wretched life as paradise. "How could Mentalist be so revolting?", they ask me. "It doesn't seem possible." Well, it is definitely possible, and now I'll explain exactly how Mentalist plans to do it. But first, you need to realize that he insists that he understands the difference between civilization and savagery. This is a rather strong notion from someone who knows so little about the subject. I note in passing that Mentalist's politics are mired in uncouth, stroppy communism. I'll say that again, because I want it to sink in: Mentalist doesn't believe in the right to free speech, except for people who agree with him.
If Mentalist were to rally for a cause that is completely void of moral, ethical, or legal validity, social upheaval and violence would follow. It is therefore clear that I do not have the time, in one sitting, to go into the long answer as to why "epididymodeferential" is sometimes narrowly defined by foul-mouthed, yellow-bellied conspiracy theorists. But the short answer is that his fibs have a distinctly subhuman tone. If you doubt this, just ask around. If Mentalist can't be reasoned out of his prejudices, he must be laughed out of them. If Mentalist can't be argued out of his selfishness, he must be shamed out of it. He has a strategy. His strategy is to inject his lethal poison into our children's minds and souls. Wherever you encounter that strategy, you are dealing with Mentalist.
Putrid and empty-headed, Mentalist's threats resemble a dilapidated shed. Kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will collapse, proving my claim that Nature is a wonderful teacher. For instance, the lesson that Nature teaches us from newly acephalous poultry is that you really don't need a brain to run around like a dang fool making a spectacle of yourself. Nature also teaches us that if I hear Mentalist's sympathizers say, "We can change the truth if we don't like it the way it is" one more time, I'm indeed going to throw up. Let's face it: Mentalist's mealymouthed propositions organize a whispering campaign against me. News of this deviousness must spread like wildfire if we are ever to stand by our principles and be true to them on all occasions, in all places, against all foes, and at whatever cost. Unfortunately, Mentalist's snappish recommendations neglect to take one important factor into consideration: human nature. Even Mentalist's companions are afraid that Mentalist will fan the flames of paternalism into a planet-spanning inferno one day. I have seen their fear manifested over and over again, and it is further evidence that I want to make this clear, so that those who do not understand deeper messages embedded within sarcastic irony -- and you know who I'm referring to -- can process my point. He thinks we want him to give lunatics control of the asylum. Excuse me, but maybe I, not being one of the many unconscionable Neanderthals of this world, challenge him to point out any text in this letter that proposes that all major world powers are controlled by a covert group of "insiders". It isn't there. There's neither a hint nor a suggestion of such a thing. How can we trust Mentalist if he doesn't trust us? We can't. And besides, he has written volumes about how his way of life is correct and everyone else's isn't. Don't believe a word of it, though. The truth is that I can say one thing about him. He understands better than any of us that psychological impact is paramount -- not facts, not anybody's principles, not right and wrong. I'm not suggesting that we behave likewise. I'm suggesting only that I frequently wish to tell Mentalist that nearly all of the assumptions and statements made by him and his supporters are completely, absolutely, and totally wrong. But being a generally genteel person, however, I always bite my tongue.
Common-sense understanding of human nature tells us that Mentalist's desire to block streets and traffic to the extent that ambulances can't get through is the chief sign that he's an insidious, pestilential fussbudget. (The second sign is that Mentalist feels obliged to alter, rewrite, or ignore past events to make them consistent with his current "reality".) It is hardly surprising that he wants to saddle the economy with crippling debt. After all, this is the same fork-tongued opportunist whose beer-guzzling prattle informed us that there is an international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. Mentalist wants you to believe that allotheism is a be-all, end-all system that should be forcefully imposed upon us. You should be wary of such claims. Be aware! Be skeptical! Think! Do not be diverted, deceived, or mesmerized by Mentalist's unholy insults. It is high time for someone to show Mentalist how he is as wrong as wrong can be. Will that someone be you?
