I’ve been thinking about how I was going to write this post for a while now. Of course, I didn’t anticipate that I would be writing at 2 AM local time in London, where I’m currently visiting to speak at FOWA in a couple of days (that talk also just potentially got more interesting).

parislemon: What Needs To Be Said

parislemon:

All day, I kept telling myself I shouldn’t say anything. Then I realized: what the fuck? Be honest.

I found Paul’s post tactless. And I found Erick’s response inappropriate. Perhaps both are fitting given the entire clusterfuck that is this situation. But both are also quite sad.

Many of you…
