I don't share your Christian
Posted on Mon, 11 Jul 2016
I don't share your Christian faith, but I admire your honesty and ability for self reflection. This struck a real chord with me because of what I have been calling a lot of demands on my time recently from people who need support, and it's easy...

Posted on Sat, 09 Jul 2016
Interesting piece, and I'm not sure quite where I stand on this one. In many ways I agree that if we want quality journalism we should accept we have to pay for it, but the digital genie's out of the bottle with news as with music and other...

Pissing on someone's
Posted on Thu, 07 Jul 2016

I've read both parts of this
Posted on Tue, 21 Jun 2016
I've read both parts of this through a couple of times now, and really enjoyed the lyricism and magic. I did feel that perhaps there was a little too much back story to start off with - possibly you could have established the circumstances...

I don't really agree with
Posted on Mon, 06 Jun 2016
I don't really agree with Phineas on this. I thought the acceptance of the existence of vampires was an interesting take on a well-known theme, a bit akin to the way Alien Nation or the recent Aliens TV series postulated a world where aliens...
