Jokers and Riddlers

On could think that just simply destroying Denver Mensa would be a bad thing in the first place. But someone thinks there are scenarios that are far worse.

Another Denver Mensan writes....

I like the Joker analogy, but I find Mario to be a bit more like the Riddler, as his impulsive, in your face nature will eventually be his downfall.  Like Edward Nigma, Mario wishes to harness all the mental energy of Denver Mensa to make it his very own. He probably even has some sort of machine that will suck the intelligence out of the members. After all, he would have to have some sort of intelligence sucking machine in order to get Denver Mensans to support him for LocSec.

I know some people who have joined Isolated M as a result of what has been going on in Denver Mensa of late.

I disagree with that particular tactic. It always results in defeat. Better to BE than not to be. Again, this points to issues I have, personally, with apathy. I loath it. And I think it is essential for people to get involved in something. What was it some wag said...

All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

The same applies at all levels of life; family, school, city, county, state, federal, fraternal, associative. It makes no difference. As Scientologists know, evil people will be attracted to the top of any organization. And, once there, corrupt it to their own purposes. Not the purposes of the organization as a whole.

So, what is Mario? Joker? Who would destroy the organization? Or Riddler? Who would make it into an appendage of his own will?

Hard to say. I guess the key indicator here would be if Mario has been making sounds like he’d run for Regional Vice Chair or a place at the national level. Not having talked with him of late, I can’t tell. Maybe someone could provide some additional information.
