| 5:15am | Ronery - A rebuttal to bluemist’s case - It’s tl;dr | | | | I read bluemist’s interesting article on being ronery recently. He gives more questions than perhaps his own answers. Despite this, I have some rather opposing thoughts, and as much as I want to keep personal posts out of this blog I think it is fair to post this here since he has done the same... | | |
