Anyway, I'll take that remark as a compliment.<br /><br />But I'm left to wonder, why is it that there is so much fuss over there about you, but that we see none of it here ? Surely, among all those fellows, there are some that are articulated enough to come and discuss properly.<br /><br />Some others, however, seem little more than educated trolls.

A troll writing, trolls in the comments, it's full of trolls. A classic of the Internet, yes, but I was used to more ... learned people, like the fellows here and on some other blogs.<br /><br />May you get readers from there, Alexis, may them stick here and appreciate the place, the host, and the food. They should, it's among the best that can be found, whatever the written media you choose.<br /><br /><br />Oh, gentle readers, another thing : buy his book ! It's just great, even if you don't have any interest in music, the musicians, or bars.

I haven't received any such comment yet, but I will keep record of the number, should any occur.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-32040661425275829762013-10-16T13:35:03.390-06:002013-10-16T13:35:03.390-06:00Oh, enjoy the cleverness of those who would dispar...Oh, enjoy the cleverness of those who would disparage this blog ...Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-63733683461253145262013-10-16T13:32:48.968-06:002013-10-16T13:32:48.968-06:00I've never encountered YDIS before (and if I h...I've never encountered YDIS before (and if I have, I have no memory of it). So of course I opened a new tab and did a Google search. I have to say, I'm not impressed, and I haven't even clicked on the link yet.<br /><br />I think the first problem is the title of the website. It smacks of the insipient, neophyte demeanor often held by D&D players when they were 14. It sounds like those cliché gaming phrases I've come to despise ("all your base" being the best example). It does not make me want to examine its contents.<br /><br />But I will, if only for the sake of experience...Ozymandiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01065642299277380465noreply@blogger.com
