Hey Mr. Stiffy

you've been sued by Jonathan Lee Riches
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

If Silver went to jail she wouldn't have this problem. Mr. Riches mentions in a pleading that "my pets wont write me in prison," He doesn't mention what kind of pets, but I'm pretty sure hamsters are really bad at social correspondence.
