Toronto the Good: Satire: Publisher responds to verbal dogfite in Toronto btwn bike suppliers and repair shops

blogTO (found Apr 3,2k11)

Social satire comes of age in Toronto, Ontario (TO) around the battle of the bike shops, engaging an alleged for-profit against an alleged charity.  I took the other view in my comment elsewhere online at Reddit (an alleged cyber-smear site):

Excellent satire!  But also terribly banal.  I don't quite believe now that either of the two entities who are principals in this cosmic tragedy actually exist outside cyberspace in the otherwise real world.  Yet, we are Aristotelians all, and the really real (Francis Schaeffer) casts a long shadow on our sense of existence and true truth (ibidem).
The whole non-event has left me dishevelled among the attacks and disclaimers and apologies by the accusers.  It turns out that everyone involved is actually a goody-goody (except one feller, apparently, but even that is too full of dubiosity to account for the sound and fury .... spelling check -- Shoud that be "furry"?  Sound and furry, the new phrase triggers our re-interpretation of 'sound' so that now there is no decibelic sound nor emotive fury, only sound and furry, conjuring up a furry who is sound in body and mind, perhaps.  Sasquatch, undoubtedly.
