News:

All you can say in this site's defence is that it, rather than reality, occupies the warped minds of some of the planet's most twisted people; gods know what they would get up to if it wasn't here.  In these arguably insane times, any lessening or attenuation of madness is maybe something to be thankful for.

No more Jeep?   :cry:

Ah shit, more thread jack.  NM, catch you in another one.

The jeep is still kicking, but he won't let me use it for sunroofing anymore.  :x

:lulz: my sunroof is permanent at the moment.  Have to order a new rag and haven't gotten around to it. 

I think LuciferX was saying  and doing exactly what he meant in his first sentence.  It was expected anyway, I think.

I know, it's kinda a pickle...  If not restricting access, maybe the ability to submit comments should be awarded by merit?

Having my own little section might spur me on to write more.  I mean, I can definitely see such a thing appealing to me and perhaps make putting in the long hours into doing a proper and thorough analysis and then writing it all up more palatable.

But then again it might not spur me on that much.

Net, I do agree the quality has improved greatly since that thread.  However, I would also say we are still more at a "link quote comment: fucked up thing" stage than a "analysis of stuff" one, and that seems to be the thing people would prefer, going by this thread.

I admit I've done my own share of "Link -> 'OMG' -> post" without meaningful commentary -- but the majority of the time, that's because I really don't know what to make of it.  I suppose I could spend more time asking specific questions, though.

I'd also like to point out that every time I see the title of this thread, I immediately start singing Public Enemy.

I think that would be a good idea, not (just) because I like to read your essays on current events, but because I really like those essays where you look at the bigger picture. Those essays stay relevant for a very long time, but they get hard to find after a while because there is no search function.

Just now I was re-reading the Fascist Virus, and found an old essay of yours titled "Fascist Culture" on Or Kill Me, which was marked as read for some reason, even though I don't remember reading it.

Anyway, even if it won't make you write more, I think it would be really cool if I could find those old essays without having to google things like
