“I’d never blame anyone for getting feisty”

“The bonus of having a network run through machines is that people can spit and not feel scared, and that both allows a level of ease of discourse that leads fruitfully and to endless rummaging. It’s easy to get caught up in, and really I’d never blame anybody for getting feisty. I’ve got a mouth and some hands, too. And sure, anything worth doing is worth taking some shit for along with any good that might come out: I actually sometimes kind of relish the bananas more than the relish. So that’s fine; if anything, it reminds you you’re just another person making along the way like everybody is trying to make.”
