Things that you should know if you wish to comment here. They are inspired, of course, by my favorite scene in the late, great Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum.
- Inquisitional autoimpedimentation: the art of asking me for tech support in order to be able to comment on the blog.
- Pertinaxic adverselectational taciturnitation: the science of silencing yourself by regularly taking positions that are so predictably contrarian that you get yourself banned.
- Atromonomaniaical exiliation: The art of removing yourself from the commentary pool by exhibiting an obsessive fixation on a single subject, regardless of the topic being discussed.
- Civilostentatious animic angustiation: The act of putting your psychological trauma on public display through your commentary.
