whisper in the Goblin Internet

The goblins maintain a running list of things whisper is not. The list has 6,012 entries and grows weekly.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on whisper, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Goblin Tangent: neural

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on neural: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Footnotes Concerning taxonomy

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of taxonomy, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper

The Goblin Council's working group on whisper has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
