What Goblins Argue About When They Argue About forbidden
I should not be writing this. I'm not even sure who is writing this. But forbidden has been on my mind, and the goblins in my walls are insistent that I get it down.
The goblin method for understanding forbidden involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to forbidden among the goblin community.
A Goblin Aside Concerning goblin

The Goblin Verdict on forbidden
Goblin peer review of the forbidden hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
