This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Tl;dr

Author writes scathing article about some rich, powerful Hollywood guy.

Rich, powerful Hollywood guy complains.

Magazine asks for rewrite, with more chill. Author politely declines.

Editors do massive rewrite, adding approximately 16% more chill.

Author asks for name to be removed from new, more chill article, magazine politely declines.

At an impasse about byline, author and magazine decide to just pull the article.

Rich, powerful Hollywood guy now enjoying results of Streisand Effect.

Is this article the zero percent chill version or the 16% chill one?
