Please End the Rantfest or Rename the Weblog

In reply to the query with which Michael ends his most recent post, I answer simply: no, the thesis is not worth considering - not in the slightest.  It is nothing more than another instance of a distasteful and unhelpful brand of paranoid invective that used to be confined to rightwing and leftwing echo chambers but now, sadly, is worming its way onto this weblog.  As for Patrick's latest queries along similar lines, I offer no reply at all.  For Patrick is right that these questions 'answer[ ] [themselves]' - which is precisly why they are neither serious, interesting, nor in need of response.

I encourage all readers simply to take a brief look at some of our recent post-headings at this weblog.  'Hideous Monsters.'  'Spiritual Rape & Treason.'  'fascist, retrograde, and incapable of understanding diversity.'  And so on.  When and by whom was it decided that we should henceforth constitute a tabloid rather than a forum for reasoned discussion?  And how has it come to pass that law professors at American law schools now lament at this site that the U.S. Constitution is 'godless' and difficult to amend in the name of instituting a  Christian theocracy? 

We call this site 'Mirror of Justice.'  If posts of the strange new variety now on display here continue, fair warning to the general public will counsel we rename it 'Mirror of Anger,' 'Mirror of Hysteria,' or some similar thing.  'God help us' indeed.
