'The Joy of Letting Women Down': too good for mere words - Page 3

Ms d'Arbeloff's funny contribution to one of life's most eternal and intriguing mysteries will probably be among the most wisely spent investments in hard-won wisdom (Amazon UK) many who stumble across this review could make.

    Thanks Nick, a little honest nepotism is a very fine thing. And I definitely recognize that drawing style - we would love to see more of it directly. Thanks again!

    Oh, and to answer your opening question: they don't want to feel left out.

    Eric, I have a question. Could you ever kick anyone off this website since you're the editor and I presume the founder of this here website?

    Your second point, Mr Olsen: LOL.
    Your first: thanks, though I wouldn't dare speak for Natalie!

    Dwaine, under very rare circumstances - like a recent commenter ranting repeatedly in a vulgar, threatening and tedious manner for no apparent reason - we do remove them.

    Was it that guy who kept saying things like: "Get the f*** out of my house"?

    Yes, which was startling though perhaps amusing once, but not 15 times with increasing derangement culminating in death threats.

    We don't want to alarm, the women, children and horses.

    Hey Eric, I did attempt to silence the guy (I think his name was Jacob or somethin') in "Michael Jackson a Pedopile?" with a few comments. I thought he was going to take my title of "random comments on Blogcritics". But I, Scooter am still king of random comments.

    Probably because not ALL your comments are random - they are ususally tethered to reality so that when a truly random one comes along, it is shadow against the light rather than an endless hallway of darkness.

    Just hiding behind the curtains before stepping on stage to take a bow. Lavish thanks to Nick for that terrific review and no, he hasn't been paid for it in *any* way.

    BTW, the extra "S" on "Secrets" is an Amazon typo - there's only supposed to be one s.

    Eric, thanks for inviting me to return. I just didn't have any reviews of books, films, etc. to post here. I could send a recent "Thoughts: the Kinds We Have" post but it's heavy on graphics so I don't know if it will fit the space.
