Why not? If the Atlantic is so damn smart, why don't I give a shit about their forum? And why don't you? Maybe PG's essays wouldn't survive on the front page

Why not? If the Atlantic is so damn smart, why don't I give a shit about their forum? And why don't you? Maybe PG's essays wouldn't survive on the front page (all glory be to the masses who bestow their wisdom on us by voting!) if they were written by someone else. But they weren't written by someone else. "Guys! You guys are voting all wrong!" feels lame. Sorry?
