  2. And furthermore, he put in a link to my Wittgenstein entry! A fellow who does that can't be all bad.

  3. I'm sure he's a lovely bloke. I personally have nothing against him. Unfortunately (for him) once he'd got his hundred entries he advertised this fact as a tagline to every posting. Dead easy to write the same article over and over again.
    Sometimes it's best not to invite judgement of your oeuvre. Because people might choose to judge you by THEIR criteria instead of yours.
