...on the recent internet row, now two weeks old. Worth it? Absolutely. It's brought a number of handwringing fuckwits out of the woodwork, whom I'm now spared the trouble of dealing with ever again, either personally or professionally. Chairman Cow has presumably been jumping up and down on Twitter, mooing and bleating and throwing its toys out of its pram, but happily kept off the streets by furious typing (watch that RSI, now!). It's led to some positive contacts, both personal and professional, and apparently some addition to policies in place for online bullying relating to conventions. I'd also like to echo a friend's recent comments on trigger warnings: you won't find those here. Any Mary Whitehouses patrolling the net for things by which to be outraged can find me on email.
