- mnm1 8y agoLol. Did someone pay you to write this comment? No? Well then I don't need to tell you who the blockhead is. Welcome to the club. We've been called much worse. This quote is even more absurd than that section of the article. Tell that to Stephen King or any other prolific author, whether professional, amateur, or just a weekend HN commenter. Just because someone slightly famous says something that is later quoted doesn't make it true.
