Time For A Little Fireside Chat:
So several people have raised the issue of gender bias here at the Forum. Inconsistently so, I might add: the latest allegations are that I make all my women sharp and smart and down to earth, and all my men bumbling greasy-haired hipster shiteaters. Sorry everybody, but I didn't make them that way, talk to the Almighty about that one. It is, however, true in my experience. Women are just plain smarter than men: case closed. A little earlier I heard some muttering comments about how I tend to leave women out of my material altogether, somehow angling that I'm some kind of misogynist. Well, let's combine the two and just say that I'm somewhere between a vag-hating cocksucker and a man-hating clam-licker. Yes, that sounds about accurate. I also wanted to mention that I have noticed the luke-warm, at best, reaction to 'mathy,' and, just for posterity, I would like to point out that those who seemed to enjoy it are actual students of math and physics. My mission in this case, it seems, is done.

The issue of censorship has also reared its mesh-capped hipster head here recently as well, and I'd like to set the record straight. Somebody wrote a comment that the Forum has "jumped the shark" with the publication of 'mathy.' I got rid of this comment and several thereafter, apparently by the same two people, and to the same effect. Then, getting a little huffy, they wrote a couple more comments voicing their seeming astonishment that I, protector of all that is right and just, would actually go so far as to "censor" their valuable commentary. Ahem. This is not a fucking experiment in democracy and I don't care what you have to say, and I will continue to delete comments which I deem asinine without consultation, and if you don't like it then too fucking bad. On this Forum, I am a dictator, I am a monarch, this is an empire, and I exercise absolute power. Of course, I do like hearing the comments, especially the nice ones, and even some of the critical ones too, but I believe in self-preservation, and that is my first aim. Think of it this way: If some asshole comes to your house for a party and he (yes he) comments on how ugly your furniture is, and maybe breaks a bottle on your floor: Will you invite that asshole back? Probably not, especially not if he's some lonely hipster fink, and anybody who spends their time antagonizing the Anti-Hipster Forum comment boxes with references like "jumping the shark," is most certainly that.
