I had an alarming conversation today. A friend and former pupil of mine is a writer, who publishes regularly on a site other than this one. My friend complained of the recent proliferation of rumor and gossip and inuendo suggesting that the site plays host to people with dangerous, unsavory ideas. Like a mad old nerd, I pointed out that, as a writer, my friend should simply take this opportunity to do some writing, on the site, about the problem and how best to resolve it. My friend balked, claiming that undertakings of that kind are above his or her or their pay grade.
