There’s nothing about TFA that should be taken seriously. It’s pulp fiction. Just like TR himself. Not to say “whoosh”, but I’m pretty sure that’s the whole point of the piece?

Completely besides the point, but isn’t it unnecessary to use ”TFA” in this instance? Personally I’m not at all offended by strong language, but it just seems hostile for no reason.

  To me 'TFA' means The Featured Article. Is there an abbreviation for that which is as widely known as TFA which doesn't have a negative potential interpretation (The Fucking Article)? 'OP' refers to the user who posted, not the post itself. The word 'Post' is I guess an OK but not great alternative.

    >To me 'TFA' means The Featured Article. Fair enough, I wasn’t aware/didn’t think of that. My mind went straight to ”the fucking article”, which is why it appeared hostile to me.

      "TFA" is definitely "the fucking article". C.f. "RTFM": "Read the fucking manual".
