The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
There is more kindness on the internet than we would care to admit to ourselves. Sometimes we are so afraid of falling victim to a ruse, we miss out on actual opportunities.
Thanks. Yeah, the 'former theology scholar' bit is pretty generous. I did a degree. And although I'm glad I did it, I've kind of lost confidence in 'academic' argument about God. I'm not sure what advantage people think it gives them sometimes.

oh please, you creamed everyone in the god thread.
Some people get a theologian degree and don't do a thing with it.....
seriously though, congrats......one of the top five (or even the top one) British poets? That's huge. you're too modest...seriously.
Thanks. Yeah, I know, I know. I would be fine with modesty, I'm pretty pathologically down on myself at the moment. It'll change. 2013 is my year for trying to change it.
Look at me, pissing all over my congratulations thread
I'm thrilled I got this mention, honestly. I didn't know how big it was until I saw the reactions. I've had two or three pieces of work commissioned since.

It's a pretentious word which means asked for by an editor rather than just submitted by me.

Not always paid, but yes, believe it or not I sometimes get asked for stuff.
