Although I recognise all three references, I only really
know /of/ them, and what I know of them doesn't seem
to be similar or connected enough to actually establish
a time/place/atmosphere etc. for me. (But see below.)

Coupled with the word "arrivals", and the upcoming
"generations", I am expecting this to have some
connection to births/family/inheritance that I don't
really find in the next two stanzas.

Don't like the repetition of 'we' at the beginning of the
lines. You're using an inclusive pronoun, but don't feel
I'm onthe same wavelength, so it's unsatisfactory.

I'm not sure why (or how) we poison termite generations
with TV retunes etc., although that doesn't bother me
too much.

The awkward grammar of that last line does bother me,
though. Would anyone ever actually say that?

This line starts to suggest a whole settting of time and
place that is bolstered by the rest of the stanza.

This sounds good, but I have a suspicion that I would
shade my eyes and brush away the flies with the same hand.
I really can't imagine doing it otherwise, but I guess
that must just be me. (Note I also instinctively use
'shade' and 'brush away' - I know what you're saying,
but our language isn't quite in step.)
I'm not sure "hot flies" is 100% successful for me -
it adds a potentially comic element that is probably
a distraction.

This would make a stronger opening stanza: it has plenty
of mirroring in S3, and would leave your current S1 to
serve as a separator as well as allowing it to suggest
who might be in the plane.

> I'll be no man's bride until a begoggled captain

Again, the "begoggled captain" (though I might prefer "pilot")
reinforces the idea of setting that "The engine stutter [...]"
has triggered.

(I wonder if some of the problem is that you started with
/The Waltons/ which has no associations for me. Having
just read up on IMDB, it seems it might trigger the right
associations for other people. This raises the question of
just how much we can rely on our readers sharing our
cultural references. Perhaps it's worse that I was making
inaccurate associations - I knew enough to think I didn't
need to check for details.)

Your compounds and composites are always interesting, but
I'm not convinced about redface / shadow-eyed.
Why not red-faced / shadoweye ?

This is slightly awkward, but perhaps not so much so as

One thing about your poems/narrators is how strong and
consistent the voices always are.

I think that's all been more comment than critique,
but for the moment I have nothing more to add.

There's a fairly large family in Pride & Prejudice; certainly
lots of sisters, a number of cousins and a couple of aunts.
The pòint is that I didn't even have a time frame for the Waltons.

Despite the fact I travel quite a bit by plane, 'arrivals'
conjured more trains and maternity wards than anything else.

I don't agree. And I think three hands has become too firmly
associated with Zaphod to be particularly useful.

They don't wear goggles these days, so it helps fix a time.
But certainly "begoggled captain" sounds better.

Never assume 'everybody knows'. I think I had it mixed up with
/The High Chaparral/, /Anne of Green Gables/ and the /Little
House on the Prairie/, the only one of which I know (knew?)
anything about is /The High Chaparral/.

The little I knew wasn't enough. But I expect it's an age
and location thing.

I wouldn't have associated him with a big family. But I would
have known that I might find it useful to read a little more
about him. I doubt, though, that his large family would have
been what I found if I'd look him up.

I like "shadoweye" as it sounds sufficiently like "shadowy"
to make me think such a person is not to be trusted.

Worry more if it becomes an aardvark. (yes, I'm having

Seriously, it doesn't sound like anything any normal
person might say, although the sentiment makes sense.

Nothing really. He stole my joke is all. I recently responded to "Fred
Hall" with the exact same comment. Will was just imitating me back to
myself, like when "Fred" started copying my "no comment" comments. I'm
flattered. It's all good. By the way, I need your frickin address
again if you don't mind. I tend to delete them after I use them out of
habit, and my memory for such things really sucks. Anyway, I need it
because I want to send you something for Maureen and Holly. Somebody
recently made a sizable donation to Hieronymous House, but one of the
stipulations was to give out Angel's pieces to whoever wants one and
gives a proper mailing address. You'd be doing me a big big favor, and
I promise they'll love the jewelry. Anyway, thanks in advance.

I'm flattered. I didn't think you paid me any mind whatever, much
less my pitiful attempts at C & C of your masterpieces. At least
you're not disappointed. That's the important thing.

Considering that PJ is no more receptive to criticism than, for
example, Gwyneth, it's probably for the best. C&C is useful only for
those who want to write better.

Of course you're not. As I explained to Freddy, C&C is useful only for

WTF? You're claiming that you coined the phrase "me neither either"?
That you've somehow trademarked it? That sounds like a Gary Gamble-
type delusion.

You know, I think you just like to call other people on the group
plagiarists, just as you like to call them liars, just as you like to
snip their poetry.

You claimed to be the "original source" and you claimed "plagiarism".
If you didn't coin the phrase, then you're not the original source, no
are you being plagiarized. In order to claim the last, you have to
claim the first two.

What part of my thought was unclear: "I think you just like to call
other people on the group plagiarists, just as you like to call them
liars, just as you like to snip their poetry."?

What the heck are you arguing about, and why? Why do you present not
only as curmudgeonly, but as snidely disagreeable for the sake of
being disagreeable? No offense intended, seriously. That's just how
you come across, and I really thought we were kind of friends. There
appears to be no humor in you and no capacity for self-deprication
which affects how people perceive your commentary.

There are tits and dicks and pussies all around my pool right now,
naked and shameless as the day they were born. I can't tell you what
all they're thinking, but it's probably mostly food. BBQ. Nobody is
having sex. There are no hard cocks, or dripping wet pussies. Get over
your homoerotic fantasy self.

Of course I know what went on, but nobody asked me to be the judge so
basically George's business with PJR is none of my business. I think
of and address them each through my experiences with them, not my
perceptions of how they deal with each other. What George doesn't like
is being an inferior writer to PJR. He's inferior because he doesn't
love writing as much as PJR does, and doesn't revel in each
opportunity. He struggles with words much like you do. Don't get me
wrong. I'm not putting him or you down at all. In many respects,
George is a much more talented thinker than PJR. He just doesn't enjoy
himself as a writer nearly as much. George would be much happier as a
publisher than a writer. Just as you are far more happy on stage than
online. PJR is a polemic, an instigator, and poker of fun. When George
tries to do the same thing it just comes off as nasty and snide. I
know George the person is not as nasty and snide as his words portray
him, so I know his struggle in terms of presenting himself clearly
just as I understand yours.

You did say Will is a nice guy when you meet him, despite how he posts.

So I guess the same could be true about George.

And, interestingly, Corey also fits in that same position, since when
I met him in person last year he never showed the nasty, snide side
that he constantly displays here, for example:

Very similar to the problems you have here with your posts that come
off nasty and snide, such as the example I reposted earlier:

Yes, absolutely. I presume George to be a conscientious, hard working
family man. He's generally a fairly organized thinker but tends to
self doubt rather than self-depricating humor. The result produces an
internal stress that he has difficulty expressing without sounding
angry and unpleasant.

Can you explain where you think George was lying?

I ask you to explain because it isn't clear anywhere on this thread
that George ever lied. Either you can explain yourself or not... if
not, then you did falsely accuse George of lying.

Simple enough for you, Corey?

Oh, I'm sure he not only remembers it, but he's studied it and has
taken notes. Looking back over his behaviour over the past few months
(which I've spent the weekend doing) it's clear to me that in all all
of it -- from the poetry snipping to the character assassination --
~PJ~ and ggary are his role models. He's even managed to produce a
"Cheerleader" (Bob) to fill in for Slythera, Gwythera, and Karlythera
(and Rickety Rooster, of course).

Of course it's silly -- the SP were a clique that had entrenched
itself on trap for a decade, while Hi is just one guy -- but there
you have it. It reminds me of Marx's dictum about history repeating
itself, the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.

Hmm ... I just finished writing something along those lines, upthread,
before I saw this. My thought is that he's trying the same thing. But
that does sound snide and nasty, so let me add here that I think the
basic problem is institutional, not personal. Open groups like this
are power vacuums, and power abhors a vacuum; the only alternative
I've seen to open warfare (where different cliques try to drive
everyone else away and control the group) is the false 'peace' that
comes where one clique has driven everyone else away and controls the
group (that's still a state of war, of course -- constant war between
the clique and any non-clique people who show up -- but in the main
it's peaceful because in the main it's only the clique that posts).
Even moderated groups aren't immune -- in those cases the moderator
and his pals are the clique, and that's all she wrote.

The only workable alternative I've seen to clique-war or clique-rule
is the type of group where the moderator doesn't post and isn't
involved with anyone who does, but I've seen that on only one group
(humanities.philosophy.objectivism) and with only one moderator (Tim
Skirvin).

Unfortunately, he comes across somewhere between the levels of Tom

Pathetic, but he may have found his niche... hope he snaps out of it
soon.

George, I made a personal overture to you to which you responded
personally in email. I was as genuine with you then as I am now and
have been in every communication between us today. I'm a writer who
enjoys helping other writers write better. Either I can't identify
exactly what the problem is because I'm too obtuse to know my own
feelings, or the problem is somehow generic to you. In any event, the
problem between you and I is very personal and should be resolved if
you'd like to maintain any type of correspondent relationship.
Otherwise I'd just as soon we go our separate ways. We really needn't
read or respond to one another at all.

Amazing to stand back and realize that all that is over, but it really
seems to be over, this time.

Or... is it?

Reminds me of a post made years ago by Michael Cook. Someone asked
him:

"Whatever happened to [here the SP clique]..?"

Cook replied:

"I did."

Here's to the new era of Usenet Poetry... all we need are some poets.

you, too. I don't want to get or give any commitments along those

there could be several opportunities for positive communication over
the next weeks or months, and I don't want to rule out the chance of
any of that happening a priori; (2) conversely, you could just want me
neutralized so you can turn your attention to another target (the same
as if you had actually driven me off the group), and I don't think I'd
want to sit on the sidelines if I saw that happening. Except for those
two caveats, though, I'd say your idea sounds fine with me, at least
for the short term.

I thought you'd never ask.


Improper use of this medium,
Degenerates fast into tedium.
The name-calling game,
It puts us to shame,
When truly of poems in need I am.

Cory and Will exchange shots,
Consisting of single-line jots,
Please, someone describe,
To them how to jibe,
Before my whole cranium rots.
