In order to stay solvent as a freelance writer, I often submit my work to several gaming sites at once. Some choose to publish it, and some do not. If the editor or site manager doesn’t like what I have to say, they just reject the post. No big deal—it’s part of the process.
However, this post is unique. It was accepted (by a site that shall go unnamed) and published, then yanked offline because the site owner was unhappy about the “bad comments” it was receiving. Since I wasn’t able to see the comments before the article was removed, I can only assume he meant that the commenters disagreed with my post, which is often a key indicator of success in an opinion piece.
Anyway, it’s old news by now so I’m not going to shop it around. Instead, I’ll post it here for you guys to read. Feel free to argue about it in the comments—I promise not to unpublish it.
