Cool..... Amazon published my review, even though I suggested the author should be euthanised. :hehe:
I got a nice response too. :biggrin:

You give the guy a good kick in the balls Pappa. :clap: :clap:
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.

I got that far, but there doesn't appear to be a way to contact him via Amazon, and a google for Tim Atkinson (and similar) didn't come up with anything particularly useful. :dono:

I couldn't post a review on the UK website because I've never purchased anything from them. I logged onto to my US Amazon account and posted:
I found this book to be tremendously captivating and informative. The author's adeptness at demonstrating practically every logical fallacy known to mankind is impressive. Strawmen, special pleading, emotional appeals, selection bias, this book has them all! Robert, I must disagree with you that the author should be euthanized. Euthanasia sounds so merciful and painless and quick. Clearly, electro-convulsive therapy is the first step. Only after his central nervous system is permanently rendered incapable of transmitting pain signals to whatever passes for a brain in that flaccid lump of impotent protoplasm should we consider putting him down.
Since I didn't buy the book, it may never pass muster. The book was, like, $1.29 or something. My 'review', if it gets posted, would be the first. Maybe when they start paying people to take them away, they'll see some action. :roll:

Oh, and I just c&p the one I'd already tried to post on the UK website. It looks stoopid referring to 'Robert' and his euthanasia suggestion, seeing as there are no other reviews but mine, but whatever.

Edit: yeah, it's there. For the time being, anyway.
