I acknowledge that Vox is perhaps better known for other things (should I assume you are referring to his music career?), but in my dealings with him as an editor, and based upon the writing he shared in the anthology, he strikes me as a sharp-witted guy, that can put together a very well written tale that makes you think, that makes you worry. I fully acknowledge that he likes to push the envelope on his blog and comments, and we both know that we don’t agree on everything. And that is fine. Professionals, associates, and friends can disagree with each other on certain points and still work together and accomplish great things, which–in my opinion–this anthology is. Vox wrote a darn good story and he and Tom crafted a darn good collection. I’m pleased to be part of their inaugural volume.
You must know him better than I. He seemed a pretty good conversationalist when I’ve interacted with him.
“But my thought is that, contra the text, the world cannot have had a beginning. That which exists has always existed. It does not exist at certain times and not exist at others. And every incorruptible thing naturally has the capacity to exist always because its existence is not, due to its incorruptible nature, limited to any determinate time. Therefore no incorruptible thing sometimes is, and sometimes is not, whereas everything which has a beginning does not exist prior to its existence. So, either there are no incorruptible things to be found in the world, or no incorruptible thing ever begins to exist.”

The Improbable Author 
Vox Day isn’t famous for his literature, though.
His literature sucks, by the way.

Luscinia is a troll known as Andrew Marsten who is banned at Vox Populi, I believe.
See, that proves what a cis-normative bastard I am. I thought Luscinia was a chick.
Luscinia means nightingale, so you have no excuse to think that.
I have every excuse. It sounded feminine, I didn’t know what it meant, and it never occurred to me to look it up. Ignorant assumption for the WIN!
Vox is too dumb to ban people. All he can really do is stalk and harass.

Definitely pseudo-intellectual.
Eh, to each their own.
