So, today ugly raised its head again. It saddens me immensely to see how poorly people behave on the internet and the fact that they take such delight in trashing good folks... urgh... it just frustrates me.

Joe Hill - a tremendous writer, check out 20th Century Ghosts NOW - won a very prestigous award this weekend. His reward? Bitter jealousy from some one who took it upon themselves to trash him on just about every messageboard on the internet. The result? Joe's messageboard at TTA has gone. Elsewhere people are upset. It's a sorry state of affairs that someone feels the need to do this. I admire Joe greatly. He's one of the good guys.

So, the Talifan's ride again...
