    Who said anything about shutting it down? Just think there should be better community moderation, crud like https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?noupdate=1&sid=57977&page=1&cid=1327495 [soylentnews.org] should be kicked out, a site advertising as News for Nerds should have some bare minimum standards for truth and decorum. There are standards, but they are arbitrarily enforced at the whims of staff volunteers.

    If aristardchus can get stories advocating cannibalism accepted, well, I don't know what else can be done. Arbitrary whims of staff? Do not be caught snowed in with chromas. Just saying.

      The article is not advocating cannibalism - it is confirming that it took place in a specific group of people 15,000 years ago, and discussing the implications of this fact.

      You are just about what the story actually said. And I know that aristarchus submitted it - we can see that on IRC. But anyone can submit a story for consideration and, if it meets the site's criteria for submissions, it might be published.

      You posted a submission. If it had been rejected you would have claimed that we are rejecting valid submissions from ACs, which would not be true. However, it was accepted and now you are trying to mock the story selection process that shoots down your expected response in flames. You need to seek psychiatric help.

        AC has been banned, now? What are you doing, janrinok? Why are you responding?

        And what "group of people" was that? Yes, Englishmen. Fee, fie, foo, fum. And, where? In Gough's Cave, near Cheddar Gorge, I will never be able to eat the cheese again.

        For example, William and his colleagues are now trying to can figure out whether these cannibalized humans were related to one another, or whether they were eating people from outside their immediate groups.

        Sun never sets, etc., etc.
