Thanks. Not doing too bad, at the moment.
Thanks for your kind words Matt. Hope your health is holding up.
I pulled it myself, just to be safe. But, yes, I agree. You are one of the members I had in mind when I mentioned people who don't post here any longer. You, JBI, stlukes (who still pops in every now and then, but not as much), Lokesenna, etc. When you guys would get going on a literature discussion I usually wouldn't participate much, bug mostly because I would just sit back, read, and learn. I don't get that much anymore. The serious discussions forum can be fun, but when it comes to literature and art, this forum is in a huge slump. Just look at the forum book club. It's pretty much completely dead. If you look up conversations from years past, there's a huge difference. So, I guess it's not that I have a problem with controversial subjects. I like them. The double standards on what is and isn't allowed now hasn't gotten ridiculous. I wish we could have those and literary discussions, but I guess one can't have cake and eat it, too.
I saw that blog on your dissatisfaction with the Lit Net Forums that was either taken down or you pulled it. I was in the process of responding with this below. You might as well have it. Controversial subjects that have nothing to do with literature have always been a problem on Lit Net. Political and religious discussions were never supposed to be allowed outside of a literary context. Yeah, they snuck in, especially the religion, and especially when the atheists were obsessed with proselytizing. The Religious Text forum was supposed to be about religious texts, not over if God exists. But the minute I saw that a "Serious Discussion" thread opened up for just those discussions that were supposed to be against the rules I knew that was going to be the end of Lit Net. I'm willing to bet that half the people on lit net don't even discuss literature. You don't see me on the forums any more.
Thanks for the well wishes. Merry Christmas to you and yours, too, Virgil .
Merry Christmas Mutty. We haven't spoken in a while. I hope you have a special holiday. Here's a present and a card for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7uvH...eature=related
