I am very sensible what a weakness and presumption it is to reason
against the general humour and disposition of  Pynchonoid & Co.  After
reading P's Foreword to _1984_ I am reminded that it was with great
justice, and a due regard to the freedom both of  public internet lists
and  online journalism, forbidden upon severe penalties to write or
discourse, or lay wages against the Pynchon or against the opinions of
the Pynchon, even before it was confirmed by Pynchonoid & Co. that the
Pynchon had composed and would publish a Foreword to Orwell's classic, 
because such discourse was looked upon as a design to oppose the current
of the P-list people (most of them lurking in the hallways of Pynchonoid
& Co.), which, besides the folly of it, is a manifest breach of the
fundamental law that makes this majority of opinion the very voice of
Big Brother. In like manner, and for the very same reasons it may
perhaps be neither safe nor prudent to argue against Pynchonoid & Co. at
a juncture when all parties appear so unanimously determined to upon
supporting them, as we cannot but allow from their discourses and
writings. However, I know no how, whether from the affection of
singularity or the perverseness of human nature, but so it unhappily
falls out that I can not be entirely of this opinion. No, although I
were sure that an order were issued out for my immediate arrest by the
Pynchonoid & Co. thoughtless police, I should still confess that in the
present I am of the opinion that Pynchonoid & Co. remains a humorless
asshole with dingle berries dangling.
