What is this I don't even...

[Abriael]

I just had a (public) conversation with Ben that's quite telling.



And he concludes dropping this (alongside some personal attacks that I won't even bother quoting)



Notice how he completely evades the question on the percentage of the "guilty" comments, which tells me that it's most probably negligible. Can't endorse or discount it, but it's hardly anything to judge a whole community on.

And of course according to him linking an article in a forum and discussing about it (with people on both sides) is "organized forum trolling".

Once upon a time writers were happy to get more people linking and discussing their articles. I know I am. I wonder where those times have gone?


now forgive me while I go slit my wrists because Mr. Ben Kuchera blocked me on twitter.

Nailed. Ben clearly doesn't take well to having to smell his own BS.

Great job, Abriael.

You know, once upon a time a while back (for reasons I can't even remember anymore), I couldn't stand you.

Recently, though, you've become one of my favorite folks on here. Always a treat to read your posts, even if I don't agree with you all the time.

For whatever it's worth lol.

Kudos, sir.

Crap, i need to post something absolutely outrageous. Not being outright hated is not acceptable

Too late, sir.

Better you spend that effort on "indoctrinating" some fresh blood .

I suspect there will plenty in the coming months.

Wow. My sentiments exactly.

Or maybe we all just missed him. Well, whatever the case may be, Abriael is a leading source of sanity on the boards.

I hate that. lol
