Critical reviews

These are some of the most amusing comments about this site:

'[T]ainted by a sort of malicious elitism'.
'[A] rich repository of crimes against our broader community' (the defunct Sweaty anti-street art blog).
'Despised by several'.
'I hate almost everything you write yet I cannot look away. You’re better than [Andrew] Bolt.'
'You seem to be rather angry about a great many things.'
'I think you may have to take a long hard look at yourself, Brian. Really. You don’t need to be so combative.'
