Its not even funny. If someone’s going to be ridiculous like this, they should try to at least be funny.

My point entirely. As Monty Python proved, there are good jokes to be made about the Inquisition. Equating it to “that time of the month” is obviously not one of them, especially when discussing a concrete and documented case. But, eh, what can I say? The EIC is probably still high on the “Joan of Snark” joke and now thinks she is untouchable.

If I was in her place, though, I would be wondering what I did wrong that the sites devoted to dissecting my content and the comments no longer feel it’s worthy to spend time doing so, as the recent closure of STFUJezzies attests. Only people who care enough about a site or community spend time talking about it, after all.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
