Seamus: Will you actually READ the book and make your comments based on the merits or Janney's analysis?

Dawn I'm having a big giggle at the moment. I think it's a little ironic for yourself telling me what I should read before commenting on anything. I am still having Hankey flashbacks. As for CD it's almost as bad he had my head in the guillotine when he thought I'd become Martyn Gregory's house bitch lol.
One thing I didn't express well enough in the previous post is that I've actually seen more than enough of Janney's previous stuff to be exceptionally wary. Once bitten twice shy so they say! As for CD I can see his point's as well. However, let's not play saint here or be selective about others choices guys! We have all seen CD himself trash stuff he feels to be dubious with all but his Zeus like gaze! Look at all the bollocks Phil Nelson got. He bloody deserved it of course, as have others pushing a whole heap of B.S.
The trouble is despite my own CD like doggedness. I do accept whole heartedly that we all aren't going to agree on everything all the time. Some issues I am full on about and some I am not so. I'd like to think that when CD is finished cracking skulls he can relate to this. Janney is a case in point rather obviously that ignites some deep passions. Dawn and CD the point I was trying to make in all of this (a point I failed miserably at in the first attempt-I had no idea my usually crap grammar was so poor) is that due to my own struggles with Janney's work I trust Jim and Lisa's observations on this issue. That is simply my opinion of Janney's work. Hey they may well be wrong! Further my opinion may change when I get a chance to have a longer look one day, or it might not.
CD bud, Lisa and Jim never said to me 'our way of the highway' lol and I am a little embarrassed my post came across like that.
But saying someone lacks 'deep political insight' because of a difference of opinion as you are apt to do is pretty on the nose. I don't think anything less of you're take on things for disagreeing with myself on the issue of say a Janney. I just prefer to play very safe in this whole thing. You of course may be more adventurous. But thats your outlook and though I am wary I enjoy my doses of Drago!
Seamus: I was not TELLING you to read anything. Or even suggesting. I was merely asking if you intended to read a work before critically commenting.
And speaking of poor grammar the above should be " 'your' take on things". "You're" is short for "you are". Basic grade three grammar old chap. I think proper grammar is useful if one is going to be a writer. I know, how narrow minded of me.:rocker:

Oh we didn't have grades here lol. In my defence I recently looked around for the most commonly screwed words. Yours/You'res is definitely one of them. I'm not alone either, I know a ton of people my age that don't include the 're at the end in the appropriate place. Recently Dawn I have been making attempts to use the 're more. You caught me on that one you party pooper. What hasn't helped me in the posting front, is that I am invariably thinking quicker than I type. Maybe this live action thing is making me jittery lol? I leave the page thinking heck that came out well, I come back and its like 'Oh shit'. For my essay writing lol! Thank god I have more time to go over stuff with an essay. Thank the lord the content is usually good. I have some great editors so that's superb. Dawn if you ever have the time, please feel free to glance over any draft of mine. I can always use another eagle eye! Believe it or not guys I was an ace speller when I was a kid. Where did all that go?
