Let me read a letter I recently received. "Dear Anon. Why has /biz/ seen fit to invade /bant/? Sincerely, A Concerned racebaiter&gooner&roleplayer."

Thank you for writing, Concerned. Of course, your question touches on one of the most basic biological impulses, with all its associated hopes and fears for the future of the posters. I also detect some unspoken questions. Do our benefactors really know what's best for us? What gives them the right to make this kind of decision for this board? Will they leave and let us racebait/goon/roleplay again?

Allow me to address the anxieties underlying your concerns, rather than try to answer every possible question you might have left unvoiced. First, let us consider the fact that for the first time ever, as a species, wealth is in our reach. This simple fact has far-reaching implications. It requires radical rethinking and revision of our posting imperatives. It also requires planning and forethought that run in direct opposition to our neural pre-sets.

I find it helpful at times like these to remind myself that our true enemy is Instinct. Instinct was our mother when we were an infant board. Instinct coddled us and kept us safe in those hardscrabble years when we started roleplaying and gooning and made our first cabbals on Discord and startled at the racebaits and sliding that leapt upon the catalog.
