You're as hungry for recognition, celebrity, and platform as much as anybody ever is.
It's kinda gross to see you admonish it yet also feed off of it.

IDGAF about Paul Constant. I was speaking to the efforts of the Stranger to become a nationally recognized brand.
The editor posting this self-referential bit of info? Give me a fucking break and get off the Internet if you can't see through it.

@6: Not true. You regularly go out of your way to trash him. Mostly by saying things about him that aren't true. But whatever.
But, yes, I think that what you've noticed is that people who write for the Stranger, and even many of those of us who merely read the Stranger, like it, and and enjoy knowing that it's writers sometimes get noticed beyond its local sphere of influence. You know, it's kind of particularly cool that an article about Twitter would get noticed, since, you know, everyone in the world has been writing about it recently. So, Paul took on a topic which was already saturated with coverage, and it got noticed. Cool.
Meanwhile, you're standing here trying to convince people that there is some kind of suitcase bomb of tragic irony at work here, destined to destroy all those that stand within the radius of its imminent detonation.
Here's what I think: you need to get over it.

@8: Your usual 2:30 on Friday?
@9: Fuck me you're a terrible troll. That doesn't even make sense. Anyway, I'll be happy to remind you that you're over it next time you're not. TTFN.

@11: Oh, dude, wait... are you the Parker that asked how to steal bus fares on Questionland?
You are, aren't you? Cause it would be so awesome if you are.
