Comments on: The percentage of cases where this phrase is not redundant… http://mcgees.org/2009/04/20/spiders-on-aci/ Website of Joshua McGee Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:58:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bob Mike http://mcgees.org/2009/04/20/spiders-on-aci/comment-page-1/#comment-53317 Bob Mike Thu, 30 Apr 2009 03:05:42 +0000 http://mcgees.org/?p=1460#comment-53317 That was pretty funny. MetaFilter is a strange place. Sometimes the things that I think will generate a lot of notice get no play, while the things that I expect people to skim go fucking gangbusters.

I tried reading Robinson for the first time a couple of years ago, and although I think the man has a clever way with words, I wasn't able to enjoy the misogyny. I was unaware of the Heinlein connection at the time, but now that you've pointed it out I'm not sure how I managed to miss it. I should probably temper my dislike of Heinlein with my gratitude for his introducing me to the concept of poly relationships, but somehow I just can't seem to do it.
