Welcome to the Tiger Beatdown FAQ! Here is where you have questions, and I answer them.
PART THE FIRST: TIGER BEATDOWN
1.1. What is Tiger Beatdown?
Tiger Beatdown is a blog. It covers lady business, mostly? However, it also covers many equally important issues, such as race, class, sexuality, transness, and bad movies.
1.2. Who is Tiger Beatdown?
Tiger Beatdown is Sady. She is a lady. She lives in New York and likes kittens, vodka, and alienating those around her with strongly worded and hastily thought-out opinions.
1.3. Why is Tiger Beatdown?
Sady suffers from the knowledge that not everyone in the world has been exposed to her opinions. Tiger Beatdown is an attempt to remedy this injustice.
1.4. What is ladybusiness?
If you don’t know, you’ll regret asking.
PART THE SECOND: COMMENTING ON TIGER BEATDOWN
2.1. Oh, no! I disagree and/or agree with you about something! I am tempted to use the comments as a forum in which I may express my feelings!
Breathe, Timmy! Breathe! This happens to people all the time. This FAQ exists to help you comment in a productive manner. Follow the instructions set before you, and no-one will get hurt.
2.2. Okay – let’s say I disagree. What if I am willing to lay out the terms of my disagreement in a civil, constructive and thought-provoking manner, which will potentially lead to a heated but informative debate on the topic at hand?
That sounds like buckets of fun! I am not right all of the time, and therefore love to be called out, because it is educational. I also love a good argument. However, that can only happen if people stick to the subject at hand. Strongly worded disagreements – with me or with any of the other commenters on the site – will be welcomed, since they raise the level of discourse. Ad hominem attacks – whether aimed at me or any of the other commenters on the site – will be deleted, because they are boring.
2.3. I would like to share with you a multi-paragraph essay, of approximately 200 to 300 words, in which I detail each and every point of my personal disagreement with your blog post, whilst branching out to include many details of my personal life, my feelings on topics both personal and political, and perhaps some wacky thought experiments and/or details of my comradeship with “quirky” “indie” “actress” Zooey Deschanel. Might I use the comment section in order to do so?
No, you may not. Good news, though: I hear there is a website where you can actually sign up to post various boring personal essays on the Internet! Here is a link.
2.4. Got it. On a related note, MY COMMENTS AREN’T SHOWING UP OMG YOU ARE SO MEANNNNNNNNN?
Not really a question, Timmy! But, for the record, you are probably being held in the moderation queue. The moderation queue is like Purgatory, for comments! You are there for one of three reasons: either you are a first-time commenter who needs to be approved before you can post unmoderated comments (hey, unmoderated comments! My, this new site is FANCY), you are an approved commenter whose comments have been disruptive or tiresome enough to place you on probation, or you are someone whose comments contain words commonly associated with having a case of the Dumbs, such as “misandry,” or any number of offensive epithets, and your dumb-word-having comment has therefore been flagged for moderation by my team of robot servants.
2.5. You know, it’s really not fair of you to call me “tiresome” and this is a public forum and I don’t see why you should have the final say in whether my comment gets published or not because Zooey Deschanel…
Sorry! Can’t hear you! I’m too busy deleting your comments!
PART THE THIRD: ADDING TO TIGER BEATDOWN

Say, would you like to do a guest post?
3.3. I would like to do a guest post, as a matter of fact!
E-mail me about it! I don’t necessarily give a guest post to everybody who asks for one, but I am always looking for good ones.
3.4. This FAQ has utterly failed to answer my most important question. How will you remedy this disgraceful state of affairs?
Leave your Q in the comments, my good woman and/or sir. I will get to it.
