Dawww! I'm sure I could think of something, make a website about it, and get myself banned from here because of it. I bet I could.Robert_S wrote:But I like you and you're so reasonable and interesting. Sorry, but I just can't work up a good rant against you.Thinking Aloud wrote:Oh.

I'm glad it moved away from here again though, as now it's fun to be up in the peanut gallery watching in amazement. Aside from that, forum life goes on today as though it were just like any other. From the railway station came the sound of shunting trains, ringing and rumbling, softened almost into melody by the distance.

I never strayed very far from not giving a shit, anyway. There's nothing they can do to hurt us.
The Hitch ought to write a book about him.Rum wrote:The Dalai Lama. He gets far too much good press. Let's rip him to shreds!

On yet another hand, though Hitch is best known for his angry stuff, he himself spent a lot - maybe most - of his writing and reading life concentrating on novelists, poets, essayists, and philosophers he loved. So he balanced out the hate.Hitchens wrote:For a lot of people, their first love is what they'll always remember. For me it's always been the first hate, and I think that hatred, though it provides often rather junky energy, is a terrific way of getting you out of bed in the morning and keeping you going. If you don't let it get out of hand, it can be canalized into writing. In this country where people love to be nonjudgmental when they can be, which translates as, on the whole, lenient, there are an awful lot of bubble reputations floating around that one wouldn't be doing one's job if one didn't itch to prick.
Shades of WG Sebald's Austerlitz. Astonishing book, by the way. Truly great.Thinking Aloud wrote:From the railway station came the sound of shunting trains, ringing and rumbling, softened almost into melody by the distance. It all seemed so safe and tranquil.
