The criticism that has most consistently bothered me is the allegation that I'm a schlockmeister whose only objective is to shock people.

The leftist drive for control is insatiable.

I don't think fatherhood's changed me so much as it's conjured protective instincts I've had all along.

When you're indiscriminate in allowing people to post, the loudest and emptiest voices invariably drown out everyone else.

What's good and bad, sweet spirit, are in the eye of the beholder.

In my long, long years toiling around the publishing industry, I've found that women simply don't stick to the writing with the same fervor that men do.

I think that 99% of the snipers who take shots at me from electronic foxholes also realize they could never withstand the sort of public disparagement, nor the revelation of so many personal details, that I've endured for years and still remain as impenitent, obnoxious, and ready to argue all critics into the dirt as I am. I think this also jacks up their hatred level, because they realize they'd never be so strong-willed.
