I'm not ignoring this, you've managed to pick a very busy week in my life in which to pen an open letter - which I'm totally in favour of and we can get into it fairly soon. You've also managed to rustle up some absolute Penguin haters. Bishop is so far to the political identity left that he doesn't make much in the way of sense 95% of the time, it's like someone vomiting an emoticon pamphlet.

Kay I wrote about a long time ago and she's never really engaged much past that point. https://medium.com/p/b46dbbb137d6

If you want to align yourself with the sort of people who end their messages with 'dancing on Penguin's grave' that's on you. Frederick Bott made some good points though, he's a keeper. I'm far more about the McCain/Obama mutual respect for difference than I am appealing to the loonies who support me. You're a sensible writer, you're pissed off with me, come back to the centre ground and let's discuss it like adults.
