It's a history thing - Will dragged the thread out of RAP. As I recall,
you're first contribution was to say you were some sort of critic and
our standards of writing were low. No mention of witchery and you
"dissed" first.

Exactly - dis not (first) lest ye be dissed. Spell-checker seems to
have recovered, by the way.

Don't be ridiculous. Why should I be less judgemental? Why should
you?. Your original contribution to this thread WAS a judgement.
You're correct that no-one has the right to decide (in the wider sense
of community) that your beliefs are wrong but we have the right to
express our opinion that you're wrong - and vice versa.

The problem with your argument is that the world of the arts could name
dozens of respected poets who give the lie to your stereotype. I don't
think you could make the same claim for the witchy world.

Nope - it's one of the few things the languages agree on.
