      Mr. Chen, I’ve noticed you are attempting to raise what you feel is the level of maturity and manners (perhaps respect in regards to the site authors?) of this webforum. Do you feel saying it outright is less effective, or is this an outgrowth of your personal life feeling this is a wide spread issue of multiple generations? This is not a dig, as I can appreciate someone taking a position that may not be a popular one. Kind of like the actor bemoaning the moviegoers. You never know, you post made note of “typical comment being composed”, meaning it is in the act of composition, and the comment could’ve finished with: “… they said “load”, and isn’t it strange how the word load seems to indicate either a weighted ‘thing’, an oppressive situation, or some kind of violent act.”

      Faith brotha.

      uh huh huh, you don’t know what a “load” is

      I imagine a lot of nerd-chortling happening around the country. Really, Jimmy, this was the least funny thing you’ve done in months. It might have been better if you’d added a cartoonish cum-stain or something to the image, but you didn’t.

      Typical HTML Giant post being composed:

      Google Image Search Random
      Google Search Tao Lin
      Email friends: Subject: Write anything lately, want some publicity?
      Wonder if 1000 posts about MFA programs is too much? Time to start the backlash to the backlash?
      Spank it to still images of female tennis players.
      Wonder: How many list-posts is too much in one day.
      Post an hilarious list of MFA critiques.
      Monitor the comment section, spank it again.

      sounds like fun

      “How many list-posts is too much in one day.”

      there is an upper limit, but humans have come nowhere near even developing the technology necessary to reach it.

  18. Bro...

      How true you are and yet how uninterestingly you put it.
