There were so many abusive and weird comments that the editor and the commissioning editor of Commentisfree had to work for many hours to remove them from the website. There must be some very strange people amongst football fans. Since Dorothy has no one to monitor comments on her website she decided that it would be best not to include a comments facility. However, it is possible to forward Dorothy's entries to anyone you feel might be interested. Why We Lie Dorothy's new book, Why We Lie, is due out in May and was recently reviewed as part of "A look ahead to what's new in 2010" in the Guardian. You can see the full listings by clicking here, or read the review below: Why We Lie by Dorothy Rowe (Fourth Estate). In her previous books Dorothy Rowe has managed to unpick most of the things that bother us in everyday life, from worrying about money to believing in a punitive God. Here she asks why we tell lies and puts the answer down to a mixture of vanity and terror. All pretty toxic, as far as personal relationships are concerned, but Rowe goes further: our failure to tell the truth is behind all manner of ills, from the current economic crisis to global warming. Scary stuff, but Rowe is so wise that you begin to think it might be possible to change. KH Dorothy will be visiting Australia over the winter.
