You. Yes, you. I see you there. Sitting in front of your computer. Guiltily flipping back to porn or gambling sites when someone walks in the room. I see the worried look on your face. Should you or shouldn’t you cave in and join the bourgeoning masses in their attempt to demand accountability from journalists.

Specifically, this one journalist*.

I know, based on the IP addresses that get logged, that some of you work in the media and might have trouble at your job if you joined. I understand. This is a fun site, but it’s not worth becoming unemployed over.

Even so. You could order a shirt, you know. 14 other media members did so and they just had them sent to their homes. Or their girlfriend’s house or, in one case, a family member in another state. You can show your support without ever once going public about it.

And you will be the coolest person at every party you attend from now on if you do. I promise. Plus, if you are single, a JTJ shirt is a date magnet. It is proof that you are smart, well read and have a sense of humor. It’s like a Porsche, but less expensive.

The rest of you, however, have no excuse. Thousands of you come here day after day and read the front page. At any given time there are as many as a hundred of you wandering through the threads. If you are smart enough to read this stuff, you are smart enough to write about it. And we do want to read what you are thinking about.

The admins here are all real people who live in the real world. Yes, even Jamel is real. Toko isn’t, but what kind of web site would this be if we didn’t have one imaginary person who posted from time to time?

Our members range in age from 19 to 90. Our ranks include real estate moguls, insurance salespeople, music professionals, doctors, lawyers, you name it. We would like them to include you as well.

We don’t bite. We aren’t control freaks and we enjoy a nice variety of sports. Including some of the professional ones. Just click on the pretty link to the left that says “Visit the Forum!” and then click “Log In” and you can register. Please. We want to know as much about you as you now know about us.

Come on. You know you want to. CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE FRAY!
