' Wrote:So, if I lock the thread, I could conceivably be viewed as the epitome of evil within the collective imagination of some future society based on that societies earlier esoteric popular beliefs?
Am I willing to carry that burden on my shoulders? Am I willing to allow the human failings of that culture use my name as some catch-all scapegoat to escape taking ownership of their their own actions by shrugging off their most reprehensable behavior by simply stating "Marburg made me do it?"
That would be horrible.

And there will be nothing esoteric about your loyal fanatics either. They'll be everywhere! :unsure:
