`  It is high time we ended this fantasy of ``William Shakespeare`` as the author of the Oxfordian canon.  True, there is the dedication page to the first folio, but ``Shakespeare`` was clearly a pseudonym that by chance and circumstance got connected to the man from Stratford (MFS hereafter).  The MFS was not a genius and could barely read or write.  Why do we still honor this ridiculous man.  Thinking people everywhere!  Rise up!  End the Wikipedian tyranny of absurdist conventional thinking.  Will Shaksper from Stratford a petty criminal, a tax dodger, and an illiterate.   The bulk of the plays were probably written by an Earl with inside access to the court of Queen Elizabeth:  Edward de Vere.  Please, let's try to embrace the truth.  Cheers.`
