Your blog has been very enjoyable for the most but when you write something contentious, don't get surprised when people bite back. <br /><br />Calling yourself as a "national hate figure" though is like describing a boy on a bandstand with a broken kazoo as "King of Pop".Ben Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-59273858293144385822009-08-03T13:14:13.623+01:002009-08-03T13:14:13.623+01:00It's good to have you back where you belong - ...It's good to have you back where you belong - in isolated brusque splendour.<br /><br />Did you see this?<br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/aug/03/theguardian-national-newspapersChris Hughesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-13443430425527418322009-08-03T11:17:40.546+01:002009-08-03T11:17:40.546+01:00I agree OP, people get so worked up about nothing,...I agree OP, people get so worked up about nothing, it's completely absurd.<br />Thanks for coming back everyone.Jon Peakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471926651090670258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-18903248587104078842009-08-03T11:15:45.062+01:002009-08-03T11:15:45.062+01:00Well, I'm pleased you're back here.

Some of the comments to yourself, Andrew Collins and on behalf of Richard Herring to others over the past couple of weeks would be punchable in real life.
