What about a sequel called "the Agonists" ... a documentary about the drama
of ditto-skepticism on the vortex forum... up to the infamous "Purge of
2012" ...

"Agony" being the operative word and 'Agonism' being the political doctrine
of embracing conflict and acknowledging the positive value of inherent
discord, including bloody debates, nasty name-calling, and class warfare...
or better yet, what about a hairy tragedy: "Vortex Agonistes" :-) 

The punage being a nod to Milton's "Samson Agonistes" known in Lit circles
as a "closet drama". No kidding - the term "tragic closet drama" it is apt
for the times, no? ... at least it is pretty clear that we were never
intended to perform onstage.

On the brighter side, Milton's classic was followed by "Paradise Regained"
... and just as we are enacting the Last Temptation of Rossi... In forty
days we will know if the Snake wins, or the new chosen-one is to be with us
in these final days ...


From: James Bowery 

"The Antagonists" is a better-directed epithet.  Although "pseudo-skeptics"
does capture an important dimension of the crime against humanity, it
doesn't get as close to the heart of the matter.  Perhaps a phrase involving
"establishment" would be even better.  "The Inquisitors" might be better
than "The Antagonists".
