Then again you rarely have anything positive to say. About anything, regardless of the subject matter.

You'd make a good politician. Demagogue style.

"meiville the "antisemite but i'll take kadafi's money any day""

Wow, you seem to be living in a fantasy world where you're celebrating eternal Opposite Day.

Since when did this turn into a political debate?

I am solely talking about your puerile attitude here in the comment section.

Look, I don't know who took a cataclysmic dump in your cereal bowl, but stop frothing at your mouth for no reason whatsoever.

That's all am I going to say. Now go ahead and vent your frustration by lashing out at me.

no frustration stefan and coward anonymous dude.
i have nothing to say to the opressor turned victim.
changing roles, isn't that a literature means for something or other, stefan ?
i saw in your website that you're an aspiring writer.
maybe you can write about that.

I thought there were jokes. I thought the Wall Street Journal remark was quite humorous.

I was at that talk. Definitely literary.

The previous day he gave a book reading of Kraken, before it was released. That was a more typical author/fan interaction-I even got my picture taken with him.
