Given the head of the oppositions figurehead group has just quit and Israel definitely has a dog in the hunt, I’d surmise it’s general morale-building agitprop, designed to make people think about Assad not being […]

VERY nicely done bit of work, Michael and Tina. Kudos.

Thanks Michael!

The new project is a group blog, and some names you will all know from my time at Agonist are involved – Kathy, Matt and Bob – as well as former Rethink Afghanistan blogger Josh Mull and game […]

Would someone who is an administrator please remove my newshog email address as the contact email for this site? I keep getting notification of user password changes etc.

Bill, the reason I avoided giving you […]

I’d like it to be noted that I did not advocate the closing of the site, nor did I advocate the other members of the editorial team take the action they did (although I agree with their reasons for doing so). If […]

“You only get better by playing a smarter opponent”. Thanks for being exactly that, Dave.

Nothing behind the scenes, Skriz. I was given what I perceived as an insulting offer to continue as EiC, involving only a third of the ridiculously low monthly pittance I’d been receiving – so I quit. Matt might […]

Best wishes, SW! You’re one of the good people and I’ll always be happy to work with you, Raja, Matt, Adrena, Actor and Kathy, my core team, anywhere and anytime. Thank you for all your efforts on Agonist’s […]

Thank you, everyone. I’m going to take a break, take stock and see what happens.

In the words of Bill and Ted, “Be excellent to each other.”

Thanks to you too Adrena. I regard asking you to join the Agonist team as one of my successes during the last year. Stay in touch, my friend, you have my email.

Thanks, guys. I wish we could have worked something out – I was really exicted at the thought of another year at The Agonist – but alas…

I’ll be hanging around as a regular reader.

“All I did was google: Photos Diane Feinstein Gun control.” Did you check to see who had copyright and what the commons were, so that the Agonist wasn’t potentially liable to lawsuits and fines? Did you check to […]

I would ask where those were sourced and whether the originals are copyright free but I’d be ignoring the heart of your argument – that I’m a misogynist and lying about it. I thought I’d answered that one to your […]

Adrena, the reason was a simple one: I couldn’t find a picture of Feinstein in a gun-control context that wasn’t both a) recent and b) copyright free. So I went with my gut that the guns were the more important […]
