Some people don't give a fuck about page views. I highly suspect that @fat is one of those.



He may not be a guy who doesn't give a fuck about people _reading_ the article though.


It reminds me of bands who have offensive names, or developers who name their software after offense words.

They might not care about "rules" or "society" or this and that they might say, but it's inconvenient for me. Even though I am not offended easily, some of my coworkers, bosses, classmates, people on the bus, etc might be. If it's inconvenient for me to view the site, use the software, or have the album art showing on my iPod/computer, I'm going to avoid it even if I like it.

That's their choice, I understand. They made the determination that there are people who could appreciate their work but aren't willing to take the same hit to their reputation. It just disappoints me as a fan.
