Right from start, in 2002, when I conceived the idea of Eyeful Tower, I made the
conscious decision to never tag specific
articles with warnings of potential subjectively objectionable
content, on principle grounds. To do so would send the wrong message, contaminate and defeat the
purpose, and ultimately be redundant.
The whole point of ET is to be provocative. It does so by taking an
honest, non-sycophantic stance, on issues often watered down or swept aside,
twisted or otherwise disguised.
Please, don't confuse honesty with negativity. Learn the difference
between the virtue of "obscenities" and the obscenity of "virtues."
By definition: Incisive,
truth-based
analysis makes many uncomfortable. I certainly
don't seek to
offend—I just don't feel compelled to
sugar-coat everything, or to lie.
If you're narrow-minded, hypocritical, egoistic, evasive, hyper-sensitive
and easily offended, you should refrain from visiting entirely. You won't
find any spoon-fed demagogic rehash of phony politeness here.
On the other hand, if you are open-minded and welcome refreshing views,
not afraid to confront basic ugly truth, able to voice disagreements and
articulate your justifications, exchange and debate in earnest, then this is
for you.
