Thank you Prue. That is why I said '(male)' - I wanted to make it clear I didn't mean you. I genuinely wish you well with your books, as I am just about to have a book published myself (nothing to do with AR). Perhaps, in this conciliatory spirit, I can now gently point out that my original statement, which seems to have caused all the upset, was 'This phenomenon[ie Ransome] is worthy of serious study' I would have thought that in the catalogue of Tarboard controversial statements, that one comes well down the list! I was certainly not saying that everyone must be serious all the time, which I'm afraid is how it has been interpreted, heaven knows why. I guess that's Tarboard!
