Whoa, hold back a little

Striking back out at WB readers is really viscous. Everyone's got a right to their opinion, and the way this post is written definitely doesn't fit with the general WB vibe.

I also agree that this post could have been edited much better than it was. In one part, you have a total of two sentences for a 5-line paragraph. And writing in "slang" as if you were actually talking makes it much harder to follow. Because of how this is composed, it took three attempts of reading the entire thing to understand what you're trying to say here.

The idea behind this post is smart, but using phrases like "This joint right here" and "around that dolla-dolla bill" makes it sound ignorant.
