Well I've got a lot on my plate and can't be bothered to flail on this board just now, that said: "Personally" - did I use this word? Sorry if I did because now I see how utterly worthless it is in this context. All be have is language here and symbols; the unconscious symbolism substituting for the personal. Nevertheless the reactions here and elsewhere are way in excess of what any content I've seen deserves on the face of it. Reaction, reaction - ah!: "Reactionary" - empty rhetoric. You don't have to agree that left-sentiment has been co-opted in a struggle to control people and resources, but it's not a non-argument. This being a forum with quite a few intelligent, egoistic older men with varying levels of resentment, it's an actual study in patronising rhetoric with devices far more insidious than "grow up kiddo". "Necessary". #### me if it's not Bertie Russell! Tell me Bertie, what's it all about? About moderating, thanks for your inevitable Saturnine influence there but if you don't want commentary on what you post... I can't help you because I might reply anyway, or, don't post, send a PM or just ban. And btw I like your work but everything has a lifespan.
