A place for Mather

I would like to begin a discussion with the purpose of finding a place for Mather. The place will have to be full of people wearing name tags with their real names. The people there will have to be prepped so they know they have to tell Mather their full name and possibly give details about their geographic location before they can say anything else to him.

A lot of reeducation will need to be done to teach the people there to take his opinion as simply his opinion and never personally. This is because he will be doing a lot of stating his opinion and we need these people to stay and not leave offended.

Another trait the people in our theoretical bubble will need to develop is one of tolerance. Not of the religious or sexual variety, but of the putting up with nonsense kind. They must either have pre existing patience of saints, or extremely limited vocabularies (so they cannot form sentences that might anger him).

If anyone has been on TWAK for the last few days, this next point will be obvious. This place we are here to discuss, cannot abide Khakjaan Wessington. The people there should be screened to make sure they have never heard the name, incase they were to mumble it while dreaming and wake just before Mather caves their poor skulls in with a rock.

It might make sense to have no internet in this place because the internet as we all know is serious business. It could introduce far too much variety and if not destroy this place of dreams, it would threaten its stability. Since many of us have grown so attached to the web, we might not be able to muster the cold hearted strength it would require to deny Mather of it. I have given this a lot of thought and decided a simple web filter could be a viable solution and I invite anyone to discuss the definition dictionaries the filter will use.

In all seriousness, this might seem like a complete joke, but I am not kidding. I don’t think Mather will ever be able to adapt to the changes happening here. There is far too much creativity happening that he might think is because of Wessington, and if he is not attacking the work or the people posting it, he will be resenting it.

Mather here is your score:
Lack of class -1
Trying to ruin things for complete strangers -1
You are human +1
You like writing* +1
*Only if it isn’t related to Combat Words -2 (2 taken because this one spoils a redeeming trait in Mather, so it is doubly wicked)

Final: -2
Quiet people of TWAK, you who have gone about your business writing and living without becoming involved in the events leading to this point, please respond. I could go on, but it would be repetitive, like the horrible back and forths Mather and Wessington have been engaged in.
