Alright, i'm done with this stupidity.

If people want to read IJ with us, thats their choice. Whether or not PrinceCharming/Fabulous/DicksInMyAss approves isn't important to us. Those who want to read will, those who won't don't have to. We made a thread to let people know we were reading, some people weren't mature enough to handle it, we deleted it because honestly we could give two fucks.

The forum is just a bunch of egotistical kids clawing for power. They could have easily held the discussions on /lit/, but instead they have to move it onto their territory so that they can be in control. This on its own is fine, but then they continue to invite people from /lit/ over, making it thereby an extension of /lit/. Why not just have the discussions here? It's not like the board moves fast. I'm pretty sure it's so that whoever the admin of this shit is can have the ultimate superhero powers to lock and delete threads, making him the toughest kid in town!

Why dont you just discuss it on /lit/ then?

>> No.1844872

>>1844862
Because if you discuss it on /lit/, you get spammed with "DFW SUCKS" "NO DISCERNABLE TALENT" and suicide jokes. They probably want to have an actual conversation about the book, not a 250 post clusterfuck.

>> No.1844873

It's a lot simpler and neater.

On a more related note,
