- irremediable 12y agoHaha. Thanks for the link. This sums it up well. I especially love the closing sentence. Finally, I’d especially like to thank all the people who wrote “considered harmful” essays over the last few years. Without the degree of annoyance you collectively created, I might never have bothered to write this essay.
