Round and Round We Go…

Linkage of the “yes, but…” sort…

Yes, but did you like it?

Yes, but did you read it?

Yes, but aren’t there more important things to fight for?

Yes, but why?

Yes, but won’t that just encourage the poor bastards?

Yes, but what the f— are you talking about?

Yes, but isn’t it about the characters and plot?

Yes, but what if we keel you with our mind-bullets?

    You, sir, are on a tear.

  2. David Moles says:

    Yes, WTF is McCalmont talking about?

    Just throwing ideas out there Moles… we can’t all be up to our elbows in Hegelian space opera *shudder*

  4. David Moles says:

    Post-Hegelian, thank you very much. And your ideas would be more likely to stick if you could back them up with numbers.

  5. Ilya Popov says:

    Oh my. To say nothing of the silliness of associating “escapist” with negative connotations, Jonathan now thinks that science-fiction is never escapist.

  6. Ilya Popov says:

    Furthermore, Hegelian space-opera? You mean Wagnerian? Hegelian space-opera doesn’t even make sense.

  7. Chris Billett says:

    Well I’m up to my elbows in Australian soap-opera, but what can I say? It’s a happy existence.

    Somewhere, John (Jona) McCalmont is weeping for you because the bug up his arse controls his tear ducts.
