Nick Mamatas is my Monster from the Id.

Mostly, these days, I like to be the voice of moderation. Nick doesn’t.

When one is the stupidest motherfucker in the room, the world is a hostile and inexplicable place.

I just don’t say shit like that any more, and barring a really bad headache or a personality-altering blow to the head, I’m just not likely at this point to turn into the sort of person who does. On balance, I think that’s probably a good thing.

But occasionally it’s nice that someone’s saying it.
