> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > Interesting find on **JGB**. Is he spreading the gospel according to **JGB** or just fond of seeing his words in print? There is a years long pattern of multi posting already noted in the past threads. Since he also pretends to the different political affiliations depening on the need he percieves, it is a kind of political trolling to get out his political message (which is clearly extreme right despite pretending otherwise). ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Okay, I’ll bite. When pronouncing “femme fatale” in competently-pronounced French, what word in American English should “femme” rhyme with? [None,](http://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/femme/33217) really. The “e” and the “m” are both a bit different than those in English. I suppose you could rhyme it with “them” or “stem” but it wouldn’t be exactly right. ---

For Og’s sake, Clothahump, why would you even type these words?!?: > [@](#): > > “Well, after the author came out and publicly said the book was bullshit…” And I assume you looked at those words before you hit Post. Did it never occur to you that anyone here could fact-check you? Did you check yourself first? Even if you actually believed that you’d read that he’d said that, wouldn’t you still stop and say “Wait, am I being irrational here?” Why would Wolff tell people his book was bullshit? Does it make sense that here’s the one author out of millions that doesn’t want people to buy his book?\* (“Uh, oh, my book is flying off the shelves. No one wants that to happen, what can I do to stop it?”)\* It makes NO sense that Wolff would ever say that, and posting it as the truth only tanks your credibility here. Or did you give up on that years ago? ---
