I have two orders of business regarding FresnoDA. Before examining the present situation, however, it is important that I beat FresnoDA at his own game. Malicious, hectoring clericalism is the shadow cast on society by his editorials, and as long as this is so, the attenuation of the shadow will not change the substance. I assume that he is unaware of his obligation not to treat anyone who doesn't agree with him to a torrent of vitriol and vilification, as this unawareness would be consistent with his prior displays of ignorance. He will probably never understand why he scares me so much. And FresnoDA definitely does scare me: His ideals are scary, his put-downs are scary, and most of all, his shenanigans will have consequences -- very serious consequences. And we ought to begin doing something about that. If he continues to erode constitutional principles that have shaped our society and remain at the core of our freedom and liberty, crime will escalate as schools deteriorate, corruption increases, and quality of life plummets. As I noted at the beginning of this letter, FresnoDA's allegations are geared toward the continuation of social stratification under the rubric of "tradition." Funny, that was the same term that his supporters once used to force women to live by restrictive standards not applicable to men. On a closing note, I hope that this letter, while incomplete, informal, and having no authority except its own inner strength and conviction, has clearly demonstrated to you that FresnoDA's macabre opinions may have serious repercussions, even beyond the issue of fetishism.
There are some comments I need to make regarding Mr. Fresno D A. I would like to start by discussing Fresno's tirades, mainly because they scare me. The thing I'm the most frightened about is that I find that some of Fresno's choices of words in his ethics would not have been mine. For example, I would have substituted "cranky" for "psychotherapeutical" and "gruesome" for "interchangeableness." There is absolutely nothing these out-of-touch hooligans will not do to destroy their enemies. They will poke into the most secret family affairs and not rest until their truffle-searching instinct digs up some stubborn incident that is calculated to finish off their unfortunate victim. He spouts a lot of numbers whenever he wants to make a point. He then subjectively interprets those numbers to support his vituperations while ignoring the fact that now that I've been exposed to his op-ed pieces, I must admit that I don't completely understand them. Perhaps I need to get out more. Or perhaps I do not find blanket statements that are worthless, infantile, and incomprehensible to be "funny". Maybe I lack a sense of humor, but maybe it is not uncommon for him to victimize the innocent, penalize the victim for making any effort to defend himself, and then paint the whole loathsome affair as some great benefit to humanity. Fresno claims that he is a model citizen. I respond that facts and their accuracy make a story, not the overdramatization of whatever he dreams up. We were put on this planet to be active, to struggle, and to give our propaganda fighters an instrument that is very much needed at this time. We were not put here to corrupt our youth, as Fresno might claim. We must think outside the box. We must uplift individuals and communities on a global scale to create and nurture a true spirit of community. And we must comment on a phenomenon that has and will continue to initiate a reign of intellectually stultified terror. Please join me in incorporating these words into our living credo.

Back to the trial......
That was the most pompous and ridiculous post I have ever read on FR. However, we all loved your use of seven letter and eight letter words. It must have taken you days to look all of them up.
Grow up.
