Re: Hull, hull! You soft southern tulipe!

Dundee. Although your own judgement is clearly flawed, as your failure to appreciate my obviously brilliant stories shows, I thoroughly support your attempts to wind up any slighly PC tendencies on this board. That is clearly what nature evolved them for and all is for the best in this the best of all possible worlds.

On general subject of PC types it always seems odd to me that a Rodger Rabbit or Bernard Manning can say call an Arab a dirty camel-shagging towel head and get away with it while I get called a racist just for saying I don't think multi-cultural societies work terribly well. It must be the way I tell it.

Mr xog

you continue to misread my judgements on your stories. I quite liked some of them. I asked before if you had been published anywhere or if you had a collection of them. It really was a serious question, but you seem to think that I was slagging them off. Not so.

Re: Mr xog

But you did not fill 100 lines saying how marvellous they were, so much better than Shakepeare's and what a truly wonderful human being I must be. That counts as criticism in xoggoth land.

Well it's not 100 lines but....

If there is a more underrated writer alive in the country today than Xoggoth, then I don’t know who it is.
If you are ever offered the opportunity to read his work get yourself a large whisky, or whatever your tipple is, get the wife to take the kids out, switch off the tv and radio, settle down in a comfy chair and prepare to be astonished.
Shakespeare? A hack by comparison.
Greene? An unimaginative teller of tall tales.
Asimov? A paucity of vision.
King? Volume without depth.
Xoggoth? This my friends is the real McCoy. With a breadth of subjects ranging from the wistful to the savage, from the mundane to the extreme, these tales contain characters drawn with such integrity that you feel Xoggoth must surely have made a deal with Auld Nick to have such a gift.
Be prepared to be drawn into a world where things that initially seem bright and cheerful suddenly take on a deeper darker tone, where with one well-placed phrase the pleasant becomes heart-pounding terror, Eden becomes Armageddon and you’re left with a dry mouth and jangling nerves.
Not content with being possibly the most enriching writer currently active, Xoggoth is also a thoroughly nice man, with whom it has been my pleasure to exchange the occasional message on a well-known Bulletin board, his wit and wisdom always enlightening and his playful, joyful use of language has echoes of Anthony Burgess, without the latter’s morose almost belligerent sense of distaste.
Beg, steal or borrow this man’s work. It may just change your view of the world.

I'm so hard I have to bend over when I have a pee in the morning.

I have that problem sometimes but it's only because I wake up with a stiffy.
