We didn’t start the flame war, peeps were hatin’ on it ‘fore I left my comment...

I am extremely disappointed in you kids. I go away for a few days and what do I come back to? Beer bottles all over the lawn, cigarette butts in plastic cups and stoned teenagers eating cheetos on my couch. Did anyone even read the rules?!

So, there’s been quite the hullabaloo the past few days. Shenanigans, if you will. The parties involved know who they are (I’m one).
There have been deleted posts (here and on Facebook), angry e-mails, angry posts, angry rebuttals, and snarky status updates. Well, it ends here. Everyone involved is now on double-secret probation – myself included.

The Hipster and I started this site to showcase our amazing writing talent. Oh yeah, and we also thought people could learn something from a differing viewpoint. Maybe you’ll change your mind. Maybe you’ll reinforce your current opinion and strengthen your argument. Maybe you’ll simply see the other side isn’t completely evil. We want to inform you and entertain you. Yes, even when The Hipster refers to himself in the third person.


That’s why we’re going to keep doing what we’re doing, for as long as you’ll allow us your attention. Hipster, I’d like you to restore your previous posts. Opinion is opinion - we all have our own, and you wrote yours in the tone you felt acceptable at the time. Of course the tone of our posts will change as time passes, but we shouldn’t hide what we have written in an attempt to appease the masses. I hope this site will also show the progression of our writing over time.


There you have it. We’ll keep on writing, and you keep telling us when you agree and disagree. We’ll try to be less dick-ish when presenting our respective arguments (unless we’re making fun of wacko’s – then all bets are off) and you guys try to keep us in line when we go off the rails.


As always, thanks for reading. We love you guys.
