My complaint about Zilvia.net
In a previous letter, I stated that we must continue to monitor Zilvia.net's janissaries and expose them as the misinformed cult leaders they are. That will be my position in this letter, as well. The full truth of my conclusion I shall develop in the course of this letter, but the conclusion's general outline is that Zilvia.net periodically puts up a facade of reform. However, underneath the pretty surface, it's always business as usual. I can assure you that I, for one, want to give people more information about Zilvia.net, help them digest and assimilate and understand that information, and help them draw responsible conclusions from it. Here's one conclusion I definitely hope people draw: This is a lesson for those with eyes to see. It is a lesson not so much about Zilvia.net's morally crippled behavior, but about the way that the space remaining in this letter will not suffice even to enumerate the ways in which Zilvia.net has tried to pit people against each other.
Zilvia.net should clarify its point, so people like you and me can tell what the heck it's talking about. Without clarification, Zilvia.net's slurs sound lofty and include some emotionally charged words but don't really seem to make any sense. Does Zilvia.net remember the hurt and hate in the eyes of the people it made fun of just so others would like it more? Even if it does, I'm sure it doesn't care, because Zilvia.net's remarks are built on lies, and they depend on make-believe for their continuation.
I feel no shame in writing that Zilvia.net has deported itself as an enemy of peace and harmony. And let me tell you, Zilvia.net has recently been going around claiming that violence and prejudice are funny. You really have to tie your brain in knots to be gullible enough to believe that junk. The greatest quote I ever heard goes something like this: "This is a truth that Zilvia.net's intimates are told by Zilvia.net that they cannot acknowledge, lest they give aid and comfort to the rest of us." Just to add a little more perspective, you can observe a definite bias in Zilvia.net's actions relating to the most churlish vermin you'll ever see. Am I being too harsh for writing that? Maybe I am, but that's really the only way you can push a point through to Zilvia.net. To be sure, Zilvia.net's flimflams are somewhere between a scam and a sham, but one of the great mysteries of modern life is, Whatever happened to community standards? If I'm not horribly mistaken, there's a painfully simple answer. It regards the way that those of us who are still sane, those of us who still have a firm grip on reality, those of us who still feel that its goal is to bathe in splendor while the rest of us go to work in the mines, have an obligation to do more than just observe what it is doing from a safe distance. We have an obligation to grant people the freedom to pursue any endeavor they deem fitting to their skills, talent, and interest. We have an obligation to stop the Huns at the gate. And we have an obligation to punish it for its out-of-touch modes of thought.
Zilvia.net must think that being mean-spirited entitles one to condemn children to a life of drugs, gangs, drinking, rape, incest, verbal abuse, physical abuse, and a number of other horrors. I have found, to my considerable surprise, that Zilvia.net's obiter dicta are predatory in theory and mawkish in practice. I wish I could put it more delicately, but that would miss the point. Although Zilvia.net won't admit it, if one could get a Ph.D. in Ruffianism, it would be the first in line to have one.
When you get right down to it, it is my contention that "interparenthetically" is sometimes narrowly defined by politically incorrect crackpots. Let me try to explain what I mean by that in a single sentence: Zilvia.net ignores a breathtaking number of facts, most notably:
Fact: Zilvia.net has always used pharisaism as its moorings.
Fact: Zilvia.net's hatchet jobs carry multiple connotations, ranging from the lewd (they gag free speech) to the prolix (they start wars, ruin the environment, invent diseases, and routinely do a hundred other things that kill people).
Fact: Zilvia.net is penny wise and pound foolish.
In addition, all the deals Zilvia.net makes are strictly one-way. Zilvia.net gets all the rights, and the other party gets all the obligations. I decidedly seek nothing but justice. And that's where we are right now. Zilvia.net should hide its head in shame before the judgment of future generations, whose tongue it will no longer be possible to stop and which, therefore, will say what today all of us know to be true: If you read between the lines of Zilvia.net's fairy tales, you'll unequivocally find that if Zilvia.net continues to paint pictures of licentious worlds inhabited by insufferable provocateurs, crime will escalate as schools deteriorate, corruption increases, and quality of life plummets. I'll let you in on a little secret: Zilvia.net argues that I am petty for wanting to take advantage of a rare opportunity to report as best as possible the facts and circumstances surrounding its disaffected shell games. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago.
While Zilvia.net's publicity stunts reflect a self-righteous bias that will send the wrong message to children by next weekend, the acid test for its "kinder, gentler" new belief systems should be, "Do they still besmirch the memory of some genuine historic figures?" If the answer is yes, then we can conclude that to believe that Zilvia.net is known for its sound judgment, unerring foresight, and sagacious adaptation of means to ends is to deceive ourselves. In that respect, we can say that if Zilvia.net gets its way, none of us will be able to take up the mantle and clarify and correct some of the inaccuracies present in its communications. Therefore, we must not let Zilvia.net suppress people's instinct and intellect. We've all heard Zilvia.net yammer and whine about how it's being scapegoated again, the poor dear.
It seems ironic that there is no time and little temptation for those who work hard on their jobs and their responsibilities to leave a generation of people planted in the mud of a parasitic world, to begin a new life in the shadows of vandalism, given that most of you reading this letter have your hearts in the right place. Now follow your hearts with actions. Please don't misread my words here; it's noisome for Zilvia.net to alter, rewrite, or ignore past events to make them consistent with its current "reality". Or perhaps I should say, it's xenophobic.
Zilvia.net believes that the ideas of "freedom" and "racism" are Siamese twins. Sorry, but I have to call foul on that one. Zilvia.net's bedfellows are too lazy to study the problem and recommend corrective action. They just want to sit back, fasten their mouths on the public teats, and casually forget that Zilvia.net's stooges are tools. Like a hammer or an axe, they are not inherently evil or destructive. The evil is in the force that manipulates them and uses them for destructive purposes. That evil is Zilvia.net, who wants nothing less than to evoke a misdirected response to genuine unresolved grievances. As a matter of fact, if you want to hide something from Zilvia.net, you just have to put it in a book.
Daily, the truth is being impressed upon us that it is easy to see faults in others. But it takes perseverance to chastise Zilvia.net for not doing any research before spouting off. Don't let yourself be persuaded by mischievous Huns who secretly want to lure the twisted into Zilvia.net's camp.
If Fate desired that Zilvia.net make a correct application of what it had read about interdenominationalism, it would have to indicate title and page number, since the materialistic organization would otherwise never in all its existence find the correct place. But since Fate does not do this, we must overcome the fears that beset us every day of our lives. We must overcome the fear that Zilvia.net will spoil the whole Zen Buddhist New Age mystical rock-worshipping aura of our body chakras. And to overcome these fears, we must instill a sense a responsibility and maturity in those who progressively narrow the sphere of human freedom. I don't mean to condemn anyone's beliefs, but I frequently wish to tell Zilvia.net that it maintains control over its apologists using intense peer pressure, manipulation of their guilt feelings, attacks on their sexuality, and fear. But being a generally genteel person, however, I always bite my tongue. Zilvia.net likes thinking thoughts that aren't burdensome and that feel good. That's why it refers to a variety of things using the word "ultraphotomicrograph". Translating this bit of jargon into English isn't easy. Basically, it's saying that the best way to serve one's country is to violate strongly held principles regarding deferral of current satisfaction for long-term gains. At any rate, it has -- not once, but several times -- been able to introduce disease, ignorance, squalor, idleness, and want into affluent neighborhoods without anyone stopping it. How long can that go on? As long as its vitriolic, disloyal comments are kept on life support. That's why we have to pull the plug on them and force it into deserved bankruptcy. This is far from all I have to say on the topic, but it's certainly enough for now. Just remember one thing: A critical reevaluation of some of Zilvia.net's effusions would surely be beneficial.
sorry i was bored. check out this automatic complaint letter maker thing. think of it as 'thursday' humor. not good enough to be displayed on a friday.
