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
