Quodlibeta

A problem with a blog, pointed out to me now people are actually reading this thing, is that one can come across more forthright and aggressive than I would like. By its nature, this is an off-the-cuff exercise and I need to be steamed up enough to actually be bothered to write something. Hence, the polished academic prose that I'm supposed to write gets rather lost. So, a word of warning about this blog - it is rather more trenchant than my normal style and if I appear a tad sharp at times, then I apologise in advance and will endevour to correct any misrepresentations.
