This would be fine if it were published on Deadspin.

Council of Elders has voted and 3-1 in favor of the post staying.

In the opinion of the COE, the post is meant to cast a bad shadow upon the subject of the posts son, but nothing that we can find, or has been presented to us, indicates it is an untruthful statement.

If it was the same post but with Mac in place of Laurence, the post would've been taken down quickly.

He's from Indiana so I'd guess animal erotica would be more likely.

You don't think this council of elders actually exists do you?

I would be honestly shocked if it did.

No one has even hinted at being on the damn thing.

Why would he start giving a shit now?

Why not propose the "out juggs or ban him" to the "Council of Elders"?

bagfan loves controversy.

If Du Sable can be hastagged as erotica I wonder how a certain book on the history of college football conference rivalries can be categorized?

Maybe you could explain the point to us?

Actually, can you do that for all of your posts? Like, post whatever you normally would, but then at the bottom tell us what the point actually is. Most of the time, your, uh, wisdom is far beyond us so we're left with our heads tilted like the confused dogs we are after we read your posts.

Thanks!

Very interesting thread, lots of different points of view and I like it.

I've actually met Larry's mother and father, albeit briefly, several years ago.

Very nice folks.

Much ado about nothing.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

The description of the book from Aamzon:
"Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable, a man more than the sum of his parts, through the course of his life became variously a precocious scholar, planter, sea captain, trapper, explorer, tribal chieftain, and one of the wealthiest men in 18th Century Midwestern United States. Like all of us, he was shaped by the peculiar circumstances of his surroundings. But in order to survive the perils of his environment he constantly reinvented himself to fit his times. The central fact of DuSable's existence is that he has largely been lost to history by becoming the victim of myth. It has long been debated whether he was the founder of Chicago. Such debate is often garbled in the babble of semantics. The truth is that in the place he had the vision to predict was strategically situated to be the economic center of North America, there is scarcely a monument to mark his ever passing this way. This, too, is due to the circumstance of his being. Those in the process of stealing the land from its indigenous peoples and alternately, time and again, from each other were not willing to credit a Black man from Haiti with opening the bounty of the Midwest to prosperity that gained great currency after his death. It does not go unnoticed that subtle innuendoes like portraying his home as a simple cabin instead of the sumptuous mansion it was are among the more obvious attempts to obscure the truth of this visionary pioneer. Diligent study will dispel the myth and reveal the reality of Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable. As a philosopher, humanist, poetic seer, and peacemaker, Jean DuSable stands as the prototype of the American Dream. Ironically, the founding of the city may be among the least of DuSable's accomplishments. This novel offers insight into the personality that made his tremendous, and largely unsung, feats possible."

I suspect the gay erotica thing was either the result of vandalism or some quirk in a computer indexing procedure. But the gay erotica thing is definitely more fun.

1. If Mac's dad wrote such a book, I would easily leave the posting up.

2. If Mac asked me to take it down I would. Same goes for Larry.
