well yeah, people spewing their ugliness usually do hit a nerve with me. but thanks for cleverly cyber-rolling your eyes. it reminds me what a waste it is engaging petulant posters....

If you say you don't hate fat girls, there's no way to prove or disprove that. But I will just say that your past comments on Chicagoist have certainly been hateful. And "espousing good eating and e...

i was wondering when matty would chime in with his fat-girl hate. what's interesting is that you still feel the need to be hateful, fully ignoring the summary that this is about a girl who got un-fat...

mepps, it's all semantics, but you're confusing memoir with autobiography. memoir simply means writing your own personal experience, and those are ongoing throughout your life. whether your story is...

But what's the misnomer you are referring to? I think I missed it. Are you referencing Chicagoist's question: "C: Where do you want to go with your art? Where do you see yourself in five years?" I...

Spav1, I don't fully agree with your definition, but regardless, Nancy states: "N: What we make isn't considered art in the usual sense of the word - We're artisans due to the functional nature of ou...

Thanks, Nancy. You just saved me a trip. Spook, I know you're baiting, but since I'm bored at work... Firstly, I think there are fewer people that get annoyed that crafters don't call themselves ar...

that's weird. i meant to write little blue but wrote little boy. spook, why the crafter hate? i know some crafters are obnoxious, but compared to any other person with their "hobbies," at least m...
