Seattle is famous for insanely wanky public arguments vigorous policy discussions, so it’s hardly surprising that the Seattle lj community is also a fountain of wank place where online debate sometimes gets a bit heated.

Yesterday, there was a school shooting in Tacoma and a short post about it has given rise to a rainbow of wank.

First, there was a brief outbreak of grammar wank, because using the indefininite plural for a singular subject is serious business but that exploration of the limits of language pales when the gomezticator declares Tacoma a ghetto. [info]melvillian, already wanking away and calling on expertise in the first thread, is a Tacoma native, and the wank takes wings.

It has spread to gomezticator’s LJ where no more sense is made. ETA I don't actually know anything about Tacoma, but I agree with you exchange, possibly the funniest thing in the whole mess.

And because I am a completist at heart, ETA 2:

Gomezticator can't understand why other people won't stop talking about Tacoma.

Hee, I live in a NICE area of London and we had one of those lovely Yellow Crime Notices at the end of my road. Murder! It was very exciting. And the, uh, park behind my house is rapey. "Serious Sexual Assault" has stopped really meaning anything now.

Dont forget that when I was living in my nice area Kevin Spacey was mugged yards from my house! Clearly I was in the GHETTO man!

Kevin Spacey was "mugged". I don't think you're allowed to say it without the airquotes.
