Why does the link on Eliezer Yudkowsky's name go to Harry Potter fanfiction? --Rippedorigami (talk) 22:30, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

No where is it indicated that Cueball is posting on his own blogs so made the changes that he is posting on blogs in general. Would be different if the schedule said something like Post on my blog, but since it does not and refers to blogs as plural as most do not have duplicate blogs covering the same topics. 162.158.62.231 12:12, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Cueball should not cuss. It’s innappropriate.
