Here is the article if you want to read it:

Basically he was saying (this was about a month ago) that people who hate Platner are ken doll, sexless dorks who don't get how Real Americans are. It was part of the "Platner shows the end of democratic HR lady politics" thing that was going around.

It was a shame because much of the time I like klippenstein's work. But that was a bonehead take. At the time we knew a bunch of bad stuff about him but not this and my reaction to it was just that it was a bizarre thing to say.

I feel that I should explain what this means... Ken Klippenstein wrote a notorious article about how platner proves that "smoothgroins" are out moded. Now that Platner is resigning aparently, all the "smoothgroins" (which if you define it as people critical of platner) are saying "i told you so".

I saw the title of the if books pod and it made me think this post, bit I kept it in my backlog instead of listening to it right away. I was devastated that they made this joke line one; if I had known that I wouldn't have posted this. I am NOT a post thief.
