Original title:The walleye is unprofessional and shady as hell
Post summary:I write under a pen name so they can't sue me, but I had to write for the Walleye and had a terrible experience.

When I tried to change these changes, I was told I was being 'argumentative' with the 'award-winning' editor. Eventually, despite knowing there was misinformation and typos, my access to edit my story was restricted. Long story short, when it was published, I got c

- That was many years ago, but: after I specifically told the author that getting it right was very important to me, the editor changed the spelling of my name in my article. Several times. Because in my life, people always misspell my name, and making sure it's correct is a small courtesy, you know? And wouldn't you know it, the editor changed it to the author's name. It was just awful. (51)

Though, I usually don't do any creative freelance or other work in Thunder Bay. Those cliques and little fiefdoms run by pompous, self-righteous charlatans are amusing from a distance.

EN: Sad to hear about the Walleye if it's true. I would have enjoyed writing for them, perhaps. I generally don't take any creative freelance gigs or otherwise in Thunder Bay though. The cliques and little fiefdoms populated - Yeah, the Walleye is a mess. It was cool when it first came out, but it's gotten pretty stale now because they keep featuring the same boring TBay famous characters every year. It's cliquey (14)

- Winnipeg is also bigger = more births. In fact, Canada has 80,000 male and 30,000 female deaths every two months. But rural residents usually don't send in censuses. And for whatever reason, the government doesn't always count rural residents in the annual death rate, possibly for economic or military reasons to try to fraudulently boost our numbers. (3)

Post content summary:Then after banging two thousand chicks I started to smell like rotten eggs and sulfur, so I used my powers as a twelfth-dimensional entity to make everyone think that all the guys who died in the 1900s are still alive... Only 1% of people went crazy because these 4 billion dead guys look very similar to each other and always say the same things as the others do.
