This is a public blog, I put my stuff up, I suppose, with hopes to provoke a response of some sort in the reader. As you know I am not keen on giving a formal critique on a blog, but welcome thoughts, positive and negative, about my own words.

Its good to change the tone and direction of a blog -keeps us coming back. I am afraid Mr N is not as funny as me - but then again I am not as political as him!

As to your writing I have looked at your other blog and commented favourably with out having to lie like a snake and my remarks here were not intended seriously. I was trying to be funny which has had varied result admittedly. O-pine ..? No? Well I suppose people are going to be sensitive about their crative stuff.. I `m used to a robust exchange of public ideas which “Literature “ has abandoned for the most part.<BR/>I see what you mean though, the archetypal Liberal, an arts dabbler in a village in Cornwall. That was not my intention and your writing is interesting. I prefer the one about the crash and the back narratives.<BR/><BR/><BR/>John , hysterical , you confuse the childlike and the infantile , you confuse words and inner life .

One concretises one's thinking, resolves all shades of grey to the purity of black or white, and stills in oneself every whisper that there may be complexities in human intercourse too difficult to judge with complete confidence. Then one starts a right-wing blog. Or sells insurance. Or, if the case is severe enough, both.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596370319291639929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425707.post-980106079962014852007-03-30T10:12:00.000+01:002007-03-30T10:12:00.000+01:00Your words as ever have beauty, truth and power an...Your words as ever have beauty, truth and power and contain so much beyond the immediately obvious to those who know how to read the quiet strength of the symbolism.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600815804658702077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425707.post-16207661411207040432007-03-30T07:38:00.000+01:002007-03-30T07:38:00.000+01:00Newmania - Thank you for the indepth summation of ...Newmania - Thank you for the indepth summation of my writing, politics, mental state, lifestyle etc (all untrue) - it unfortunately confirmed many things!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665385782194826703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425707.post-34495866834757337582007-03-30T07:34:00.000+01:002007-03-30T07:34:00.000+01:00Newmania also said (two posts below)....."So Minxy...Newmania also said (two posts below).....<BR/><BR/>"So Minxy you do not like right wing bloggers because "they" talk a lot of crap eh.
