A quick rant

By Ta-Nehisi Coates
Here is an unfriendly reminder about thread-jacking. Don't do it. If you're unhappy with the selection of topics--send me an e-mail and suggest something you want to hear about. I will do my best to work it in.

Rudeness is probably my greatest pet peeve, and the internet doesn't change that. The thread-jacker is a man who comes to the Christmas party dressed as the Easter Bunny, and then demands that everyone else dress as the Easter Bunny too.

For the 99 percent, who've never even considered thread-jacking, I apologize for this rant. I reserve the right, every once in a while, to be an asshole myself.
