New article by a Stratfordian revealing his faulty logic & how little he knows about Bacon & his peers who knew him best.

As we see in the Manes Verulamani  eulogies by Bacon's contemporaries who knew that Bacon was not just a philosopher but praised him for his great dramatic and poetic abilities. Same goes for Ben Jonson's testimonies of Bacon's writing and speaking abilities.  The critics of today and their opinions are meaningless compared to the  "Good Pens" that knew Bacon personally and all of his voices. The link above is another example of a person who not only has no idea of Bacon's polymathic nature but won't even consider it or do the actual research of what Bacon's contemporaries said of him.

When I saw the article, earlier this evening, I  read just a few lines and I smiled when I learned that  as a "Baconite" I was an evangelical of the ruler class! It made my day ! 😄

Phillip R. Hall, I think he left some characters from the image he used as he is obviously confused beyond imagination.

Baconite? Is that something in his mind that a Baconian uses to gain superhuman powers?

Obviously an article written from emotion, without research, or any Baconian logic.

I just read the article twice. Normally I cannot get through one piece like this one. But it was so disjointed and ridiculous, I had to read again as I felt like I missed something, some rational thought he must had thought he was sharing. But no.

He even contradicts himself more than once in his shallow rant.

I will say this, whatever "power" or "wealth" he believes we Baconians have as our agenda, there is one core goal that we all have even as wide as our opinions are: Truth.

Baconians do not agree on everything, but every one of us is dedicated to revealing the Truth. 

Period.

Strats, Oxies, now there is wealth and power in their agenda, denying Truth as fast as it comes to them. 😉

In that article, Hall quotes from one of Bacon's prose writings as proof he "could not write poetry." Sadly, his article will probably fool some people; but was he himself fooled? Several of the internet "poetry" websites also have published Bacon's prose "as poetry" on their sites. Do presumably "educated" people no longer know the difference between prose and poetry? Do they no longer investigate if something seems amiss, but rather just do as they are told, no questions asked? One would hope there was no deliberate intent to mislead!  Here Poetry Nook publishes Bacon's fine poem, praised by Spedding: "The World's a Bubble." https://www.poetrynook.com/poem/worlds-bubble-and-life-man. The world's a stage ...; the world's a bubble. The fact that Bacon was a poet is one of my fourteen points of evidence in my essay, "The Death of the Case for Francis Bacon's Authorship of Shakespeare Has Been Greatly Exaggerated," posted here on SirBacon.org, Aug. 3, especially pages 8-11.

Sorry for such a delayed response! It was Bacon's "The Interpretation of Nature" they were trying to say was a poem.
