Don't get me wrong, I love arguing and fucking with each other over
what the author is saying.  My beef is with thread after thread of
people arguing and fucking with each other about what somebody said
about what someone else said about the disputed authenticity of a
poorly translated interview that might or might be an interview with
the author.  I tell you, it really kills the nice hardon I had over
the imminence of the new book.
