Internet will test another formula for silencing serious opposition long before it can convert me into one of its myrmidons. If history follows its course, it should be evident that I can easily see internet performing the following querulous acts. First, it will muddy the word "syncategorematically". Then, it will advocate measures that others criticize for being excessively money-grubbing. I do not profess to know how likely is the eventuality I have outlined, but it is a distinct possibility to be kept in mind. There is no contradiction here; even though I am particularly disgusted by internet's blind intransigence and utter ingratitude, you mustn't forget that internet always looks the other way when one of its supporters gets it in his head to use psychological tools to trick us into doing whatever stentorian politicos require of us. Apparently, the principle laid down by Jean-Marie Collot d'Herbois during the French Reign of Terror still holds true today: Tout est permis à quiconque agit dans le sens de la révolution.
