With the recent news that MindStormer and Misacorp are leaving as moderators, it is time for me to institute some drastic measures to ensure that BasilMarket doesn't become over run by bad behaviour.

Sadly, I see no other choice than to start charging people to post. Yes, you read right. Each post will now cost 10 cents. You can charge up your account in $5 (50 posts) or if you pay $10 you get an extra 10 posts (110 total). I'm really disappointed to have to make this change, but perhaps some of you will now appreciate that posting on BasilMarket is a privilege.

The change will become live as of April 2.

While my better instincts counsel me to follow a policy of laissez-faire, there are a couple of Mr. Basil's statements I feel I cannot let pass. I want to share this with you because Mr. Basil's ideological colors may have changed over the years. Nevertheless, his core principle has remained the same: to pit people against each other. If you don't believe me then note that you, of course, now need some hard evidence that a pouty mentality and a snarky sense of opportunism create fertile soil for harebrained psychopaths to win support by encapsulating frustrations and directing them toward unpopular scapegoats. Well, how about this for evidence: He says that he wants to make life better for everyone. Lacking a coherent ideology, however, he always ends up forcing me to die an agonizing death, be given no burial place, and have my soul chased by demons in Gehenna from one room to another for all eternity and more.

I'll repeat what I've already said: If I wanted to brainwash and manipulate a large segment of the population, I would convince them that university professors must conform their theses and conclusions to Mr. Basil's jealous, depraved prejudices if they want to publish papers and advance their careers. In fact, that's exactly what Mr. Basil does as part of his quest to fortify a social correctness that restricts experience and defines success with narrow boundaries. His latest manifesto, like all the ones that preceded it, is a consummate anthology of disastrously bad writing teeming with misquotations and inaccuracies, an odyssey of anecdotes that are occasionally entertaining but certainly not informative. Am I the only one who makes that observation? Of course not. But perhaps I express it more directly, more candidly, and far less euphemistically than most. Mr. Basil says that virulent hooligans make the best scout leaders and schoolteachers. That's his unvarying story, and it's a lie: an extremely despicable and covinous lie. Unfortunately, it's a lie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by Mr. Basil's drones.

Even with no further evidence than what I've previously presented I would profess -- and no person on Earth can alter my opinion -- that I don't need to tell you that each liberated mind that examines all of the evidence is a break in the chains that bind us all. That should be self-evident. What is less evident is that Mr. Basil is still going around insisting that I'm too diabolic to lend a helping hand. Jeez, I thought I had made it perfectly clear to him that if he is going to talk about higher standards then he needs to live by those higher standards. Now that this letter has come to an end, let me remind you that it was intended to provide an accurate, even-handed, and balanced discussion of Mr. Basil and his drug-induced ravings. Please do not contact me with insults, death threats, or the like because I will ignore them. If you disagree with my arguments or can provide further information about Mr. Basil, please contact me and I will endeavor to make any necessary corrections to this letter.
