See how quickly we're going down this slippery slope...

Well, I wasn't really commenting on your view that too many people were taking his words literally. I frankly don't give a teeny tiny rat's ass whether people take what the bozo said, literally, metaphorically, or any other way.
I also don't care that some people think said bozo is an "important" writer or an "artist" ... or much of anything else. I personally, speaking just for me, think he's a twit, and an intolerant egotistical twit at that. I would no more buy a book he'd written than I would buy a painting by John Wayne Gacy. I prefer not to reward people who do or say stupid or unkind or cruel things. In fact, I prefer to avoid them and their "work" like the bloody plague. And, come to think of it, having said that, I'm outta here.
Bye. Y'all have a good time talking about idiots and the things they say/do.
