A BAD MIX: This week, the Twitter account, @TerriblyBland, posted a thread calling out nerd industries' tendency to do networking at bars, especially during and after conventions. As ever with nerd discourse, the claim was met with a lot of support...as well as some very staunch opposition. Andrew and D. Bethel look at the original claim and examine the overall conversation.

Citadels creator, Bruno Faidutti's counter-argument to the @TerriblyBland's claims (the English version can be found at the bottom of the post). American game designer, Mike Selinker, offered a thoughtful argument supporting @TerriblyBland's claims.
