Site Feedback

This is a guest book, of sorts.  Comments here are on general site topics.  Individual stories have feedback sections as well.  Feel free to comment on whatever strikes your fancy, positive or negative -- constructive criticism is appreciated over flames, though flames are more likely to make me laugh and be quoted on the site. It's funny how that works.

All quotes on this page are actual quotes from readers, with some typo fixes, and some off topic remarks deleted.

Spam Alert -- Your Site Sucks!
You have no idea what you are talking about...do you .. or do you not agree?

I think this one is spam, randomly generated and such, but I'm not quite sure. My email program tagged it as spam, but it misses plenty of the mails that are clearly carved from the pork-like canned meat, so we don't trust it.

I learned of you through your infamous decahedrons, and have read many though I spend more time playing games such as Diablo II and Warcraft 3 than I do reading the articles and information on DiabloII.net. However, I have always found your additions to the site to be informative, intriguing and just flat out comical. Today I read your most recent decahedron, #16, and it was great. Also, through it I found my way to your blackchampagne.com site and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent reading everything that my eyes could see.

Anyhow, you are one exceptional human being, your words are inspirational and comical at the same time, not an easy trick to pull off, and I'm sure that you have thoroughly annoyed those who have so easily annoyed so many of us legit players, for that alone you have earned my respect and gratitude. Please, keep up the good work, and one day I sincerely hope to hold one of your published books in my hands while I'm taking a break from playing Blizzard's latest release in the Diablo and/or Warcraft series.

I know you probably get heaps of these e-mail -but your stuff kicks ass. I started with your Diablo stuff but have rapidly come over to your main site and particularily love your stuff about religon vs science

Seriously, think about it.. most people do not live a very flavorful live..and when you ask many people about how they feel about their life in "flavor terms" I have found that they most always respond that their life is good, they're getting where they want to (or at least see how to or why they failed).. everything in such an optimistic manner.

Perhaps this is why I enjoy your writing so much-you seem to focus on the darker parts of things (and as I have it, the sides that hold most truth) And not only do you pull that off wonderfully, there is plenty humor for everyone..I love this style and wish that I could write as magnificently as you, but find myself much too lengthy in contrast to yours.

I've seen alot of closeminded garbage on the internet and everywhere else for that matter. i just wanted to say I agree with your point of view 97% of the time after reading just 5 articles nice to see that some out there looks at things from all sides and have a fairly unbiased opinion and a sense of humor regarding touchy subjects.

Why do you criticize others that don't have your views? Why are people weird that don't want sex, profanity and violence? From your website I can tell you're a loser that wallows in the muck of humanity.

I sure do like your writing as on the web site.. Your "voice" rings clear with intellect, humor, self-awareness and a lack of pomposity while maintaining self-appreciation.

I like your page a lot. It's very well done and you have a very well developed and witty style of writing. The frequency of updates is welcome too as it allots me something new to read over those long and boring midnight shifts doing my security job (comprised of sitting.... and more sitting... and surfing the internet... while sitting).

Hey! Just thought i'd let you know that a radio station in Atlanta, Ga mentioned the website on their popular morning show (99X---99.7FM).  That's how i heard about it. I think you have a very interesting site with a lot of content. I'll continue to check it out. Thanks.

Hi, I couldn't resist mailing you about your site for some reason.

The funny thing is, i like everything of your site BUT your horror writing. But don't mind me, i just simply don't like horror fiction. What i enjoy most is your critical view and the funny way you say it. I think you might actually do a pretty good job as a critical columnist for some magazine or something, rather than a horror writer! Even when i don't agree with you its still funny to read.

Anyway, I hope this e-mail was good enough for a bit of motivation for working on your writings OTHER than horror, i guess you already get enough mails motivating you to scare more ppl. (now that your mailbag is finally up and running)

Keep up the good work!

Your incredibly well spoken on your issues! I love reading about what you gotta say cause I agree with it, and disagree :)

The stuff you said about playboy and all that childhood stuff certainly goes along the same grain as me. I could totally care less for playboy magazine, I'd give you the reasons why but they're pretty much the same as yours.

anyways, and heres my suck-up comment :)
keep on ramblin cause theres definitely someone listening

However, I like your site, so keep up the good work. I just reread your storys and I still think they're excellent, so keep up the good work. (Yes, I know I'm reapetative (sp?) but I'm bored at work so plz forgive me).

I also just checked your hot or not page, and man, I loved it!  Well, you're site is great and I will check it regularly from now. I'll still have to check out everything, but I think you're on the right way to put another great piece of internet culture into the net. well done! :)

I read quite a lot of stuff on your site last night, in a bout of truly Herculean self-hatred. I'm glad, because it was good mainly, but also because it gave me something to do.

I like that the writing is so honest. You dabble in (ok, focus on) sex and horror, even if within social constructs they tend to be kept hidden. It's not the most "pure" or socially acceptable, but the absence of pretentiousness is what I find unique. It's what makes me enjoy reading your stuff. :)

Proposing a toast for blackchampagne.

Cheers,
