Well, I was actually referring to the foofaraw that broke out in the comments below. Something about me wearing a cape to work, which caused Gary Farber to get very splenetic. Followed by everyone trying to calm everyone else down. But I appreciate you having my back, all the same.
Also, allow me to amend my post. Unf is all about the love, except w/r/t Ben Wolfson, who continues to be a little bitch.
Gary, there's the whole "ignore the post" option. Seriously, on a site like this, that is part traditional blog, part hang-out, it's just not possible to keep up a running explanation. One consequence is that people who don't follow closely will sometimes feel lost, but there's no good solution. (In this instance, there could have been links, but this Unf, after alll....)
Since the two events that Unf referred to in the main post happened in the same post, in which Gary took part, I don't understand the complaint, unless it's in reference to the comments on this post itself—but to allege that something's gone wrong is itself a bit obnoxious, n'est-ce pas?
Wait, how'd you find out about the sci-fi dispute? (I got your back, sort of.)

And you may find yourself at the center of a ridiculous blogspat. And you may ask yourself, Well, how did I get here?

Since we know that Unf doesn't read this blog, maybe ogged told him?

One wonders why I put a question in the comments, expecting Unf to answer it.

Man Kriston, that's so un-original.

Unf, I don't got your back that much. B-wo in 4 was only saying what I was thinking.

See, it's actually kind of obnoxious to expect individuals to follow each post such as this.
Where did we all go wrong on this?

Hey, yeah, Gary was the main player in this drama. What say you, Farber? (In six words or fewer.)
