Excellent word choice. I hadn't put verbiage to my thoughts on it yet, they were shoved in the back of my brain as a tangled up lump of yarn being pawed and batteeld at by a rambunctous kitten (my occasional conscious thinking). That's it though. It's gonna be a circle jerk. It can't not be.
Its going to ruin a lot of publications too because of that swamping of entitled little wannabees who think their drivel is quality work and they're being cheated.
Gah!
I've said before that Medium sorely needs a kiddie pool. As I recall, Penguin thought that was a bit much.
