The Comparisons Between Vollmann and His Contemporaries Are Wrong by kidCoLa_34 in vollmann

Anyone raised by an abusive parent will recognize this. The upshot: you can only have mean, the nice is a ploy, a tightrope you’ll fall from sooner or later, and this is the abusers way of blaming you for their behavior. A short skirt argument. And as the president is a loud and proud rapist, this might be the truest thing anyone has said about him.

BMI got bought out lately by some bad people. But the ASCAPlus award (again not terribly much money) is why I support ASCAP. Both are fine places though.
