How did I miss this deliberately provocative comment?! Was it your
disarming smile?
Frankie, my purpose is merely to write truthfully. If some of these truths
are unpopular and offensive, then so much greater is the urgency with which
they should be spelt out. If, as a consequence, people don't take me
seriously, then so be it. If, as a consequence, anything I write remains
unpublishable, then so be it. If my words are like pearls to swine, then
perhaps it is because I am becoming a different type of organism - one that
is logically (semiotically) inconsistent with the World culture within
which I find myself. I will not change my tone or the content of my
writings for the sake of popularity or mass appeal.
