Opinions, Not For The Easily Offended *Updated

His post is basically about fake geek girls who attend conventions for attention and how it is hurting the community as a whole. I personally really liked his article and except for one or two sentences, found it to match my feelings perfectly. I highly recommend reading it so that you’ll understand the rest of this post.
