One of those Times-type blogs with pre-moderated comments, but nonetheless a welcome sight.
Great comment by Matt Murrell (who blogs here).
"Most blogs by professional writers tend to give up on them in the end - there's just too many people out there who view it as a chance to exercise (my emboldening - LT) their own personal demons."
Picture of man taking one of Satan's little imps for a morning stroll.
Matt is an English graduate. I wonder if he thinks that standards aren't declining ?

Curse of the spellchecker perhaps.
What can I say? Slip of the keyboard.
Though in my defence, you would have thought that a moderated blog, on the Times website, might have picked up on it and made a slight alteration. However, I accept full responsibility for my appalling grasp of English. It reflects more on myself than my teachers, believe me.
If you want a decent analysis of the works of James Joyce though, I’m your man!.
Nice blog by-the-way.
Just noticed I wrote "there's" when it should be "there're" as well.
Obviously wasn't my day.
Matt, was it Chaucerian English you learnt?
WTF is ''there're''?
It's the plural of "there's" ("there are" as opposed to "there is"). Most people (mistakenly) just use the singular. Which is why it seems strange.
