CP Spotlight: Timothy Sexton

good writer.peace.

Great interview,very inspiring

Good interview. I agree with almost everything Tim said, except his favorite book. Oh TIM, Confederacy of Dunces? quite seriously THE worst book I've ever read LOL. (I've actually had this discussion several times and, overall, I've come to the conclusion it's a man's book. Very few women I know have liked the book, but almost every man I know who has read it has loved it. Got to give kudos to the writer's Mom though :-)

Tim is definitely an interesting person, from reading this interview. I'm going to start watching out for his writing.

Great interview. It nice to get to know more about who Timothy is since his work is so ubiquitous.

I enjoy reading Tim's articles and occasionally commenting on them - even though I come from a very different perspective. However, one problem I see is that Tim, on the one hand, urges reasoned, intelligent responses to his postings (who would be opposed to that?) but on the other, calls for revolution (implication: violent revolution). This represents a contradiction in mood and tone. Or am I alone in seeing that?

Tim Rocks...one of the best, for sure...even though I have to side with Mark on the LOTR thing, Tim is an associated content treasure..

I have had the privilege of calling Tim my friend since high school, and I have never been more proud of him than now. Not only is he witty (voted Wittiest in our graduating class, natch!), intelligent and clever, he actually takes the time to be informed about the things he chooses to discuss here. Tim has always been a dichotomy -- funny as hell, serious as death. This is what makes him a great writer, and a great friend. I personally would love nothing more than to see Tim given the credit he so richly deserves. On a more personal note, I'm so glad to know that my dear friend of so many years hasn't sold out to The Man. Power to the people!!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Mrs. Sexton! I apologize for the typos, they weren't there when I submitted this article and I'm frantically trying to get admin to fix them. It will be rectified.

Just in case there is any confusion, the comment under my name was written by wife, not by me.

I've also known Tim for a number of years and his dedication to his craft is only outweighed by his devotion to his family. He not only produces these many thoughts--some well-planned, some off-the-cuff--all intelligent, on a regular basis, but he does this while being the absolute best husband and father anyone could ask for or deserve. He believes in backing up what you say and do with more than just a feeling or whim. He also requires this of his family. His children are well aware of Tim's politics but are not allowed just to regurgitate Daddy's platform. He encourages dissent and welcomes revolution as long as you can back it up with facts. Perhaps if more readers of AC would require this of themselves more intelligent debate could occur--just another incredibly smart, funny, beautiful, talented and sexy wife.

I've had the advantage of knowing Tim for many years. Where as I may not always share the same perspective (LOTR!) I find his commentary and broad base of knowledge impressive. I have no doubt he is an excellent and passionate teacher, and I've enjoyed reading his thoughts on AC. I would not have discovered AC without him.
