The "real" Mr Flibble is a malevolent penguin. I wonder why
contributors take him so seriously? If you want to debate with a
penguin, that's your prerogative, but to me it makes more sense to add
several pinches of salt and smile or groan as appropriate to everything
he writes. He has a knack for writing things that are just about
plausible, which is enviable, but one response to anything interesting
is surely enough?
Mr Flibble is very cross.
He shouldn't be. As hinted above, being able to write successful
satire is a rare skill. But it loses its point if too many people take
it seriously.
