Carloman was upset about my quotation on Aristotle (which I got from Joe Sobran’s Introduction to my last book).

As is usual for a pissed off new BUGSER, the more we explained how getting off onto Aristotle or the like is a classic disease we avoid like the plague, the more Carloman wrote about it.

He said, “I don’t know about you, but if a former Objectivist or a Roman Catholic wants to become a BUGSer, I certainly wouldn’t want to say or do anything that might send him away.”

Actually, if I am the expert on what BUGS is about, this is dead wrong.

Jason stated our actual approach perfectly:
“…we are not a membership organization. THIS IS THE REASON BOB WILL GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO OFFEND SOMEONE IF HE THINKS THEY ARE A TTGH (Take Their Toys and Go Home) TYPE. People who are so sensitive about some issue, say abortion, that they can’t tolerate any other opinion, end up causing more trouble than they are worth.”

“We aren’t a political party. I agree with you about Aristotle, but if a person is actually going to get so bent out of shape over comment about him, well that person would never be a BUGSER anyway. Anyone who puts his opinion about guys who have been dead for 2,500 years above the survival of his race isn’t a potential recruit, IMO.”

Jason, a veteran BUGSER, is dead right.

Jews or Aristotle, we don’t want people who take attention away from the memes about our race just when we are making progress no one else has even approached for decades.

This approach is difficult, because we BUGSERS are the kind of people who have strong opinions across the board. It takes a LOT of lip biting to stick to the point on the web.

All BUGSERS have VERY strong opinions on many things, but there is only one MISSION.

It is unique, and it works for us.

That is why we are FEW, and probably always will be.
