we accept everyone unless of course they don't like Ransome
John, I don't agree. Why shouldn't AR critics post on this board? It is called an 'Arthur Ransome Discussion Forum'. It doesn't say that you've got to like AR, only that our postings have to be about him, or have some connection with him. It seems to me perfectly legitimate for anyone to post up severe criticisms of AR's writing style or his philosophy as shown through his characters, or whatever.
I don't recall Ian ever 'kicking off' people simply because they posted some critical comments about AR, and I hope he never will.
