Subversive is a book of interviews with fifty-two of the most radical people in the world. From all walks of life, some are famous, while others are almost completely unknown.

Which one are you? The famous or the 'completely unknown'?

Why is this in Suggestions & Concerns? It's neither of those, it's simply advertising. Move it immediately. Just because you're John Davis doesn't mean you can post inappropriately.

I don't know. It seems like I can.

You are correct though, this is the wrong forum. Thanks for pointing it out Neil.

Review
           "Brian Whitney is the Pez Dispenser of authors." --

Jon Herbert, author of Life on the Dingleball Fringe

"If you've ever wondered about the thoughts of some far-out people in society, consider BrianWhitney your man. Two traits of Whitney's - being easy to talk to and not afraid to 'go there' with people - naturally leads to a collection of wild and interesting interviews." -- Gil Valle, The Cannibal Cop

"If you need things to be politically correct, don't read the book. You will only irritate yourself. You will feel that bad people shouldn't write bad things." -- Thee Optimist on the author's book, Raping the Gods
Looks a fitting place for . . . . .

As it turns out, Eric Dubay is also in the book. Not sure about other flatists, as I haven't had a chance to dig through it all.

John that isn't very nice to say. Take it to the angry ranting or take a cold shower.

We all LARP now and then. There's no shame

It might not be nice to say, but clearly it is accurate. I don't know how you sleep at night.

You should visit our library and see how much pain this kind of behavior has caused us in the past by reviewing the records of Samuel Shenton's ingoing and outgoing correspondences.

How I sleep? On a bed, like most people I guess???

How do you think it looks when the self styled leader of the flat earth society calls its own members 'fucking arseholes'? Lets face it, very few if any people on this forum have ever met anyone face to face. Those you call 'fucking arseholes' might actually turn out to be pretty nice, decent, hard working members of society. A lot of the shit thrown around here is usually said and taken in jest but from you it seems to come harboured from deep within.

Personally, these days I'm not overly fussed who or what you believe. Hell, my own agnostic view would be ridiculous by many. You'll have to forgive me if the way you come across looks like it's only for the attention seeking. If that's wrong, I can take it, but it's just how it looks. It probably also has something to do with the fact the main moderators here seem to lack any conviction or seriousness in the flat earth belief and then that falls on you by association.

As for the others given how deeply this has cut you I say, C'mon guys, this is a remarkable achievement for John.  8) We should welcome that our leader has finally received some hard recognition. In a world populated by 7+ billion people, he is one of only 50 odd to make it into a particular book. No matter your thoughts, it's pretty cool regardless.

Lets see a round of applause! (https://sc.mogicons.com/share/clapping-emoticon-272.jpg)(https://sc.mogicons.com/share/clapping-emoticon-272.jpg)(https://sc.mogicons.com/share/clapping-emoticon-272.jpg)(https://sjdpacvictoria.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/clapping-hands-emoji.jpg)

Thanks.

To clarify, I didn't call members of the Flat Earth Society assholes, I called certain members of this forum assholes.

Perhaps I'm being a bit sensitive, but it really gets old, and its not limited to this forum. Take a glance through some of Shenton's ingoing and outgoing correspondences to see how much of this crap we deal with from different sources and always have had to deal with. It really is a burden as I do my best to reply to every correspondence we receive.

To me, there is very little difference between this kind of nonsense and bigotry. As such, I don't feel its unreasonable for me to post responses that are at times overly passionate against these cheap attempts to discredit our austere society, its members, and its administration.

Name calling from false prophet...I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Typical of insecure do nothing, know nothing blow hards.

I am sure it gets old being called names all the time.

Least you are out doing something. The people that call you names are just nobodies doing nothing projecting their own insecurities.

In one ear out the other John, don't give them the satisfaction.

Yeah, I agree with BHS.

Some people think the only way they can get attention on the FES is by attacking you.

We'll need a help of photoshop masters soon. Would you announce it from this subforum? Because we have not a right to open topic here.
