A Review of the Facts

Day 388, 15:40 • Published in USA USA • by Ansen

In the comments of my last article, several statements were made. Now, it's a fact that these were made as statements of fact. Not only were they statements of fact, but they are, in fact, factually accurate. It's not fictitious if it contains the fact factor! Let's review the facts:

Statement 1: "No one likes your paper, sorry." - Vladislaus Dragula. This is the only statement that may not be entirely accurate. "No one" would mean absolutely zero people get any enjoyment from my paper whatsoever. I will concede that this is mostly true. I, however, like it (although only a tiny bit), and therefore, this statement is indeed slightly false.

Statement 2: "He doesn't spam the link EVERYWHERE he can..." - Jordan Miller. This is absolutely true. I write enough ridiculous crap in this paper. Why in the world would I go fill up other people's (actually useful) papers with crap as well? If there truly is a market out there for ridiculous crap (and don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure there's not) - they will come to me.

Statement 3: "I don't think you're trying [to be serious], I'm just stating the obvious." - Vladislaus Dragula. Exactly.

Statement 4: "Jordan has an excellent point. Ironic, since he's USWP..." - Emerick. Hey look, somebody important read my paper! Or at least saw it. "Read" may be the wrong word. Emerick here is inferring that following the crowd (i.e. joining the biggest party) is typically not overly admirable (see below).


That brings me to why this paper exists, and why it seems so useless.

There are plenty of papers out there that talk about important things such as wars, the economy, armies, companies, etc. Because of this, the "good/useful newspaper" market is, in my opinion, oversaturated. We live in an imperfect world (yes, even our eWorld is stained). Therefore, in every country, there should be fringe publications that have no real public use. This is one of those.

Just kidding. I didn't actually make this paper with that in mind. I really just write whatever comes into my crazy head. Here's some useful info: Take a chill pill and don't be so serious all the time!! 😃

Enjoy your eLife!
