As opposed to the detractors who have entirely logic-based arguments like "the road closure is a waste of city council time" - when city council actually doesn't have anything to do with road closures; "the so-called festival wasn't worth closing the road for" - when the complainant didn't actually go to the festival or apparently are the type of person that would go to one; or "everything Druh Farrel does is stupid" - apparently an ideological perspective or irrational personal antipathy.
Once the logical fallacies are exposed and yet reiterated in post after post, satire becomes not only appropriate, but required. Check my signature for further explication.
