Back Towards the Locus is the online lair, fort, soapbox and living room of, well, me – BenSix – a 22-year-old sack of blood, bile and curious rubbery things. The blog aims to provide a sceptical perspective on the unexplained, the extraordinary and the overlooked while investigating power relations in the 21st Century, man’s predicament in a silent universe and whether I can get a job. If you’d like to know more about where I stand then ask, do – though I reserve the right to say “on the ground”.
I can be contacted here and followed on twitter here. Some posts I’ve liked have been collected here.

Howdy, i read your weblog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get lots of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you are able to advise? I get so much lately it is driving me mad so any assistance is really much appreciated.
