Our old chum 'Évets' (who featured in two previous articles) has found our blogging efforts to be quite without value; indeed, he "doesn't like it, not one little bit". In a recent post to the CornishOrthography group (#2905), he remarked, "Now if only people would spend as much energy on advancing the revival, as writing such worthless blogs."
Alas, the poor fellow felt so strongly about it that, when politely coaxed by the Moderator to describe what he himself had been doing 'to advance the Revival', or whether his own blogging efforts were more 'worthful' than our miserable travesty of a blog, he had to depart in confusion, calling back, 'Sorry [Moderator] for expressing my opinion, I will shut up and leave it for the nasty guys of UCR to keep this site. Good bye and good luck'.
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
think I'll go and eat worms...
big fat juicy ones, little slimy skinny ones,
hope they don't have germs!

This isn't the first time he's promised to leave the group, but we hope it'll be the last; I'm sure we'll all try not to miss his presence too hard.
Course, one has to point out that—as we stated up front on this blog—we all stick to UC, rather than UCR, so it looks like we ain't the 'nasty guys of UCR'. But as 'nasty guys' seem to be those who disagree with him, it looks like we may be the 'nasty guys of UC'. Shame that, really!
Now, although there's a touch of the argumentum e silentio fallacy about trying to interpret his lack of response, we may tentatively infer that he believes:
(a) KK 'lies, hypocrisy and disinformation' should go unchallenged,
(b) blind faith (in KK) is preferable to a healthy skepticism,
(c) 'undesirable litter' should be left where you find it, and
(d) those who disagree with him are 'nasty guys' [I can hardly believe he actually said that!]
Moreover, he apparently feels that he has made no efforts worth mentioning,
(e) neither in 'advancing the [language] Revival',
(f) nor in creating any 'worthful' blogs.
And if only one or two items on that little list were true, wouldn't you too be tempted to depart in silence?
