His grandfather Wilhelm Larson was an immigrant, so Gary was second-gen.

Bit of a stretch I know, but in this post, I’m claiming him for Sweden!

      It was never really about “fit.” The post was a silly lark, and endlessly nitpicking it doesn’t help the project, assuming you have any interest in that.

      And since you presumably read the sidebar, then you should also know that some amount of drift from pure Euro BD and pure Euro art is to be expected here. It’s happened many times already, and will continue to happen, as was always the intention.

      As someone who both founded the community, created all its documents and structure, curates it, maintains it, mods it, and posts 95% of the ongoing content, I can genuinely say that if you want to do something helpful here, then this is not it. Comments that add-on or expand upon a post are helpful. Posting Euro or Euro-style material is helpful. Pointless nitpicking is not, I’m afraid.

        Oh yikes.

        Yeah, that’s obvious. You also literally can’t take any semblance of suggestion without throwing a fit, apparently.

        Sorry, I didn’t realize this was a “this is a one-person community” kind of thing. I’ll see myself out!

        “Pointless nitpicking” should be the title of this post. I liked the content but your attitude sucks.

          Hah. You know, it’s only a “one-person community” because I wound up doing 95+% of the work.

          Throwing a fit, really? Because some people are too lazy to read the sidebar, nitpicking issues that aren’t really issues? Then, I welcome you to found a long-running community, doing almost all the work and almost all the posting, and deal with the subscribers who can’t be arsed to understand the theme. Fun stuff, right? :D

          I liked the content but your attitude sucks.

          Look who’s talking, bub.

          EDIT: God, I’m sorry. I get high-strung sometimes, but that’s a poor excuse. Please see my apology, here:
