Private Contact

Very occasionally, someone may wish or need to contact me privately for offline discussion. This page exists to facilitate that: just leave a contact request as a comment using the comments box anywhere on the site, and I will consider creating a dedicated, password-protected page on which you can talk to me offline. Please state your desired password in your request. IF YOU DON’T DO THIS YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO GET A REPLY, AND CERTAINLY NOT A PRIVATE ONE (see end of next paragraph).

This is not intended to solicit or invite contact with me as a ‘pen-pal’: requests will only be granted if I think they are, or are likely to be, bona fide, and where there is a legitimate reason for talking privately; vague, frivolous or uncivil requests will be ignored, as will those where I have cause to think the intention vexatious. I do not ordinarily enter into email correspondence with people I don’t already know.

All contact requests, whether accepted or not, will be treated as not for publication. Please only use the facility for genuinely private matters, not for general inquiries that might be handled on the Readers’ Queries page.

If your name or handle appears below, click on the link to go to your contact page. Pages will disappear if there has been no contact for some time (not less than four weeks), on the assumption that you have chosen to discontinue the correspondence; but the page will be archived and can be reactivated at any time should you request it.

However, for the vast majority of this site’s readers, there is nothing to see here. Please don’t abuse the facility.

Note: I have withdrawn the contact form that was previously here because it was being abused by spammers and scammers, and also by others innocently using it for purposes other than that for which it was intended. Please use the comments box as indicated above; I will always honor ‘not for publication’ requests.

Private Pages
These pages are all password-protected.  If you are not the person for whom they are intended, please don’t waste your time trying to access them.
