Phil Sandifer has written a new post on Eruditorum Press.

Phil, you make light of someone describing Ligotti as “nothing more than pure unadulterated evil”, but your description of him suggested that he wished to destroy the world and kill everyone on it. That would make him strictly worse than Hitler and many other people you would accept as unadulterated evil, or at least that’s what I would assume.

Now you might say Ligotti wasn’t being serious, or that “Ligotti” refers to the character played by Ligotti and not a real person, but there is nothing strange about referring to an evil character as evil, even if they are fictional.

People who talk glumly about destroying the world do need to be reminded that some other people live on the world and they would prefer not to die just yet!

I am utterly convinced that Sandifer is in on the game and secretly on my side because surely nobody would be incompetent enough to keep misunderstanding my point that hard after all the handholding. He’s a pretty cool guy after all :3
