Esdaile asked M.L. Rio:

I should be interested to know why you wish to "punch Ben Jonson on the nose " as you put it, for writing Bartholomew Fair. Writing such a comment without explaining why is aggressive and arrogant. Do you wish you could punch everyone in the nose whose writing you dislike or is there something special about Ben Jonson's play which incurred your indignation?

M.L. Rio This is Goodreads, not the New York Times. Calm down.
