Interesting article somewhat reflecting on the scourge of social media:

This is basically the same topic as here:

and here:

Not that it couldn't stand more discussion.

Never listen to people with no skin in the game.

I'm a lucky guy. I find the harder I work, the luckier I am.

Those who prefer their English sloppy have only themselves to thank if the advertisement writer uses his mastery of the vocabulary and syntax to mislead their weak minds.

Moved into the general discussion area. It's not about publishing per se, but more general in nature.

Yes there have been several other threads touch on this issue, but its still relevant in it's own thread, since the link hasn't been posted elsewhere that I can find.

David, 31688 seems to have moved on to be just a political argument, so getting morality out of there seems like a good idea to me. Maybe the question is should I be splitting off the morality posts in there and merging with this one, or not.
Genres: Space Opera/Fantasy/Cyberpunk, with elements of LitRPG and GameLit, with a touch of the Supernatural. Also Spiritual and Games.
