Despite papering over the non-https cracks etc, you’ll still get any password you use stolen, you can’t even control your own content should you be considered an “unperson” (but then described by the resident ventriloquist as a retrospective “guest” even after ten years of posting). Alas, its few remaining devotees are still entirely a cabal of self-serving Leftist ideological nihilists (or pessimists, take your pick) with absolutely no conscience.

Me? I prefer this approach to such Leftist bullying.

It’s about as much use as the EU whose greatest assets have already walked out (or are the verge of doing so ). All that remains are the virtue-signalling haters and reality-deniers clinging to its wreckage. They’re not unbiased or neutral, they’re not really interested in weird fiction; they want extreme Leftist supremacy at all costs. Conservatives like an an Aickman or a Machen, were those two around now, would be regarded as anathema simply for their politics rather than their ability. To extend the metaphor: If you support the current TLO you support the tyranny of the Left. This is not hyperbole. There is an extensive list of former, illustrious supporters who have left and are now highly conspicuous by their continued absence.

“Child of Old Leech: aka” now grinds his teeth at any dissent posted anywhere on the internet. Even Goodreads isn’t safe. Complete elimination of any author to the right of Maxim Gorky is surely the only sensible course left to the last of the remaining regular posters of the TLO.

Huh? Projection, much?

Dear me.

Farewell and good riddance, I trust, to the truly rotten TLO and its dictator, Herr J.P.

I truly hope it never comes back for the sake of the greater good of weird fiction in general. The place is full of hate and bile masquerading as empathetic concern.

There’s no Catholic too far gone they can’t be saved before it’s too late. This is a personal prayer and a plea. Thomas Ligotti, please, come back home.

It’s never too late…

[The second video appears to be blocked in the USA. I can’t say I’m that surprised. The Leftist totalitarian cultural hegemony still reigns supreme within Silicon Valley: at least in this instance. Well, so much for “fair use” of excerpts only from copyrighted material. Hey ho.]

By the way, avoid the TLO, it’s thoroughly riddled with destructive malware (and I don’t mean its one or two still-regular posters who only survive on there because they support, or ignore, no-appeal lifetime banning).

You’re wrong. We’re going to carry on until we win and you finally recognise that you’ve already lost.

Up to the penultimate chapter (11) of Witch-Cult Abbey. I hesitate to mention it, but, nevertheless, I will finally write the politically-motivated haters, the puerile bully-victims and the kow-towing elitist lick-spittlers into cultural irrelevance one way or another. Intrinsic aesthetic merit has no race, no gender, no creed and no philosophy. Posterity is on my side. Not yours. An Englishman is an Englishman by birthright and nothing else, whatever his background. Catholic, Jew, Muslim or Protestant etc.

Hey ho. That’s my claim.
