Fragments of a Lost Blog
I was quite active in Z Scale for a while, as evidenced by having made 127 blog posts across 7 years. The vast majority of them were reactions to things happening at online communities in which I participated, and as such are entirely worthless—indeed, it's fortunate that they've been totally removed from existence. Among the surviving posts, only a handful are vaguely worthwhile, and I present them here for your amusement. (Incidentally, the first one is the very same post that appeared on 1:450 and 1:220.)
