He has created a chat that he has called Classic Chat, where every reader  must take a classic name; some reader, that hasn’t understood what is nature of chat, lamented that in this chat there aren’t libertines women or porn photos, and Valerius joked with these anonymous readers and he advised read some translation of Homer and very joy by this; but his valuations sometime have determined some very fervent polemic, because he affirmed with strong that adjective Sapphic for synonymous of lesbian was erred, because Sappho not was lesbian but alone tiny, and in ancient Greece tiny woman were very strange and they aren’t loved, therefore Sappho was alone tiny; some body studios, may lesbian, was very angry and she has protested but trace of this lesbianism there aren’t, therefore this discussion was very involving because after it included also poetries of Sappho. Valerius has noted that sometime a reader with name Hypatia has written, in his chat, some essay very interesting about history, literature and philosophy, she used a very good Latin and very good Greek, and Valerius was good impressed by this Hypatia, and he often joked with hers because his name was of philosopher woman killed by Christian, therefore she have to follow always his opinions otherwise she risked same tragic death, and she repeated always: “A time till?”.
