Did I miss something? If this story was posted by it's original author, what's the problem? Because it's not making it's debut here? If you like it or hate it you're welcome to post to that effect. But to call for removal doesn't make sense to me. There's no "if the shoe fits" because nobody could be as outrageous as the characters in that story, nobody. Sure it's crude, and maybe offensive to more delicate tastes but how does that effect anyone here? Shrinking violets, you ain't, folks. Picking on fat people? Hardly, the woman in the story was not even close to fat people. I know, I'm fat people.

My assumption was that the post was not from the original author; of course, there is probably no way to verify that.

Exactly. Maybe the original author did post this simply because he thinks it is a Nobel-Prize-worthy masterpiece that should be posted anywhere and everywhere. We all know it's not, but hey, he can think that if he wants. If he's looking for literary criticism on this "work of art," then he's definitely in the wrong place....

Not the sort of story that receives "literary criticism", more like "gets reaction". And that is has.

I say we challenge the new "guy" to post something else...something entirely new and unique to The Cellar.

Surely "his" entire existence isn't defined by that one rather tawdry tale? There must something more which this individual can regale us with.
