14+ years later, as a ‘non-believing’ person of jewish descent, I was … interested to see, in a generally thoughtful review, the intensity of the animus directed at the poor organist by Benny Diction. Surely praying for his god to arrange the death (by walking the plank) of the musical accompanist, betrays somewhat ‘unchristian’ values? The death penalty has been regarded as too severe a penalty for poor musicianship since at least the eighteen century. Love thy neighbour, turn the other cheek etc etc.
Perhaps Benny’s brother Mally has been using his name?

Doublethink

Whilst I appreciate the point you are making, I imagine Benny Diction was not intending the remark to be taken seriously. Sometimes tone doesn't work in text in the way we intend.

Whilst comments on the reports are on the discussion forums - the reports themselves are very much the province of the magazine editors. If you wish to take the matter further you should contact the magazine editor via the main part of the site.
