I have been inspired to be a bastard since the founding of FNB.com but did not register until the latter part of last year. I have learned so much from Grayson, FNB, Twin Six, Incroyable, Horace, Vaclav, Terry Lean, Tony Ventura, Coolidge, bosthist, Cruz Diez, Nemesis, kenperes, rsmeyer, richt, and others. Coincidentally or not, I have also incurred the (to my mind, rather irrational) hatred of certain message board moderators. They took note of a slightly acerbic, irreverent, and sarcastic tone in some of my posts, and sought to silence me. Considering the number of Asian girlie pictures I posted, you would think they would have shown me more gratitude (or leniency!), but it was not to be. In any event, part of being a true Bastard is not taking clothing message boards too seriously. I will just have to content myself with living a life that is, by any reasonable standard, not fucking bad at all.
