I quite like the column

It's amusing to witness how only three issues-worth of Hierophant rant can provoke such a strong response.

Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of the FTMB!

So really you should think yourselves lucky!
graylien said:Personally, I'm not objecting to the column because the Hierophant doesn't like message boards. I'm objecting to it because I think it's tedious poorly written filler that adds nothing to the magazine.
The film reviews serve a purpose. The adverts serve a purpose. But what purpose does the new Hierophant's column serve, exactly? What's the point of it?

GadaffiDuck said:Sometimes offence happens....when the Heirophant attacked the cult of Diana, I assumed that many people (those that did break down - without reason- etc) would find that type of article offensive. I like the idea of articles that attack these type of inflated (if you will) bastions.

Would it have been better received? Obviously we won't know but the only reason I'm giving it some benefit of the doubt is the brand which gives the hope that thins will get better after the duff start and it is improving.
Fnar.AlthoughI never did take you for a chap to go around praising his own column
min_bannister said:I personally am not keen on the style or the content so would probably soon stop reading it no matter what it was called. I do think it should have been given a different name though as it seems a bit rough on the original Heirophant who is now seeing his creation rather slagged off by former fans.
