Really, Scat? Well, then, perhaps YOU'LL be kind enough to
explain it to us.
C'mon, son, analyse the header on the message containing the
'Eyeing Mother' poem. Tell us all about it.
Show us how it proves that 'jr sherman' didn't write and post
the poem.
Of course, if you CAN'T, or WON'T, offer such an explanation,
then that will be positive proof that you're just another stupid
southern redneck cracker who's talkin' out of his arse.
Well...? We're waiting, Scat. Yee-haw!
You're a simpering fool, requiring that a negative be proven.
Prove that you're not a fool.
Better yet, explain how you went from your first 2 points above to your 3rd
point when you added "proves" as a conclusive result from your 1st 2 points.
In logic and in argument, that's not a fallacy -- it's simply not done. It's
no different than lying or plagiarizing in analogous contexts. It's
misrepresentation. You're a fool for doing something like that, a stupid
fool for thinking you could construct your own argument by misrepresenting
the facts.
Now you know how little you know about anything. Everyone can see how
uneducated you are.
But rj is /requiring/ it of a simpering fool.
2 wrongs make a write.

But what do you think of the Canon PS2.

So, in other words, /YOU/ don't know much about message
headers, either...do you, St00.
That's okay -- but in the future, you'd better avoid the
technical discussions, and just stick to commiserating with
Jeannie over the failed 'revolution.' Heh.
Clearly, much of what goes on in these newsgroups is over
your head.
If you'd been paying attention, you'd know that Barbara Scat
(who is MALE, by the way, so you needn't waste any of your
faux 'gallantry' coming to his defense) is attempting to
become a poor man's 'jr sherman'-style troll.
Naturally (as we'd expect from a silly southern redneck
cracker), he's making a botch of it.
Hope this helps.
What's that, moron? It's Dockery's day off

Heh. Dodge-Weave Scat ducks the question, and goes for

Yep, very predictable.

After Cat's finished with that, perhaps he can produce a post where I
actually claimed to have written J.R. Sherman's excellent "Eyeing
Mother" poem.

well, when i informed you that you'd written the poem in question, you insisted
that it was a better poem than anything I'd written. if that's not a confession
on your part that the poem is yours, what is?
if you would make learning of language your friend, you would realize this.

That simply meant that obviously /someone/ else wrote it, since it
seems too good to be by "J.R. Sherman"... but apparently your memories
inspired you to write a loving tribute to your loved one.
and when i informed you that i thought you were the one who wrote it, you said
that's why it's better than anything i'd produce. that's a confession, dockery,
pure and simple.
if you wouldn't make language and learning your enemy, you wouldn't be having
this problem.
You're insane if you truly believe that, JRS. I clearly /never/ took
credit for writing your poem.
If you could have posted proof of your mistaken reading, then you would
have by now.
when i informed you that you'd wrote the poem, your response was that's why it
was better than anything i'd written. that's a confession to having written the
poem, dockery. i can only go by what you post.
>If you could have posted proof of your mistaken reading, then you would

just in this thread a few posts back you pretty much admitted that you did say
it was better than anything i've written, and when you couple that with me
informing you that you'd written the poem, that's pretty much a confession on
your part. it's just that simple, dockery.
if you'd make language your friend, dockery, you wouldn't be having this
not at all.

well, i don't profess to be a musician like you do. you claim you make music,
but all i've seen from you is a collection of unspeakable shit that you keep
attempting to pass off as actual music. as long as you keep falsely insisting
that you create music, when you don't, i will point out the fact that you don't.
that's how it works. too bad if you don't like it.
I like it fine, for the simple reason that as long as this continues, anyone
interested will be able to hit the links below, and find out for themselves
the sort of work i produce.
Our relationship's working like a charm from this side of the fence.

signed it.

Again, hard to argue with.
and after they get done laughing they'll realize what a delusional moron you
really are, and even more people will be alerted to the fact that everything you
produce is shit, literally everything. and isn't that what i want? yes, in case
you weren't following me.
actually, it wasn't signed by me, as well you know. as i said, dockery, we can
only go by what you write, and what you wrote was pretty much a confession on
your part that you wrote the piece. it's as simple as that.
>Hard to argue with that.
Not that that will stop you from trying.
jesus fuck, will this pointless fucken thread ever fucken die?
Does idiotfuckbrain really believe that endlesssssssssssssssssssssssly

It's in the archives: he is.
come on, Gary, you know it's just part of the total package of lies he has to
tell himself. christ, if he were to be honest about this, that might force him
to be honest about a lot of others things, like what he does for a living, and
how is life is a total waste, about his own selfishness, all of those things.
and he just doesn't have that much courage.
it's all part of the package of lies he has to tell himself so that he doesn't

Well, of course.
I'd actually respect him a little bit if he did kill himself.
His estate would be twenty bucks richer if he did.
>he's not any different than chuckles.
Well, of course.
There are subtle differences, though.
dockery doesn't have to post from the library yet.
dockery has never threatened to kill anyone.
But then, chuckles has never posted a hilarious amateur video of
himself stumbling around drunk incoherently mumbling the words he's
desperately trying to read off those 3x5 cards while the band members
roll their collective eyes waiting for him to get off the fucken
stage.
>in fact i would say both he and chuckles as the most fearful people i've ever

Well, they both tell more lies than anyone else I've ever encountered.
I suppose the argument could be made that the fear makes them lie.
i would agree, but i'm trying to figure out where the 20 bucks is gonna come
from, he has nothing. i was thinking he might be able to sell his internal
organs, but all of those are probably as good as his writing.

yet. i think chuckles does the death threats when he has his occasional moments
of clarity, and realizes his life is a joke, and the frustration of that truth
is what makes him nuts. if dockery were to ever realize his life is a joke, he
might do a chuckles death threat thing as well.
>But then, chuckles has never posted a hilarious amateur video of

i simply do not understand why he doesn't get that! it's right in front of his
fucking face, how much "his" band member are humoring him. then again, he's
probably so drunk he doesn't notice anything.

fear is what drives all of his delusions. fear that at any moment his pathetic
house of cards is gonna fall down all around him. fear that he WILL have a
moment of clarity and realize he's major-ass fucked as far as life goes. fear is
the mindkiller, as Frank Herbert said. although killing dockery's mind is not
something he should be fearful of, ya know?

Harley rules.
I thrive on the truth, but truth is rarely seen in these newsgroups,
and /never/ from you, JRS.
I've never seen jr to lie about your poetry.
He is overly repititious and non-helpful, but
he told no lies I ever saw.
Perhaps I missed it?
Yeah, his opinion of my poetry, as yours, is honest, I'll grant you.
Perhaps you missed JRS' praise of Michael Cook's poetry... or perhaps
you also agree with JRS that Cook's poetry is /great stuff/?

Tangles of twisted limbs, torn torsos.

Sunrise skirmishes
Battle-dragons, my horse named Rolen Day,
wander the empty halls of Castle Kintyre
looking for places to play.
Over the red clay hills of Mississippi man
I port position, plan a battle plan.
Safe in rusty armor, sword in sweaty hand
Now I can be noble in a make believe land.
Storks in dungarees.
Fiddler crabs play banjo as calliopes
rumble through colonnade
Dragoons in zoot suits sell
lemonade and Moon Pies.
And the carousel singer says:
Mickey D is Jackin' da ball
An' gandy dancin' from pillar to pall
First stop Big Rock Candy Mountain
then Waltzing Cats.
On Seraphim's flaming sword I'll hang my hat.
Then a faint sound, chilling winds
The faint becomes harsh, cruel. It's 10:24 EST
Now begins the real insanity

But whether you and JRS agree on me, Cook, or whatever, it'll remain
your individual opinions, and I don't buy into it, because I know
better.
I hit the /truth/ from every angle possible, and have only just begun.
I'm keeping it light, mostly. Here at the shed I stick with black coffee
spiked with a bit of George Dickel, which keeps the typing fingers nimble,
and at the bar, George Dickel shots chased with draft beer.
My pal Woodstock Eddy drinks Scotch and water, so over there I'll have a
couple of those, not bad stuff.
If it were anywhere close, I'd try to check it out... best of luck to you,
and your new /sober/ lifestyle.
Good luck, old son.
I'll try not to watch.
Did Thomas drink beer? I don't know.
I think pretty much all alcohol is yeast piss, isn't it?

No to what?

What? But Dockery is your serious admirer.
You just gotta watch, psycho Tommy.
You'll hurt Dockery's feelings if you don't.

There are 2 questions above and "no" isn't
the correct answer to either, so I wondered.
WRT, scotch, this describes...
http://www.uisge.com/wt/production.html
It starts...
"Scotch Malt Whisky is made in pot stills
from just water, barley and yeast."
This page describes fermentation processes.
http://www.fao.org/docrep/x0560e/x0560e07.htm
There are bacteria that produce alcohol, but I
don't think anything but yeast is responsible for
the alcohol that people drink. (unless you can refute)
I also doubt that DT was drinking beer when he
toxed out, which is confirmed by this page:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/dylanthomas/biography/pages/alcohol.shtml
Will should be encouraged by the fact that DT also
bragged about his drinking. (which is stupid, but
will work for Will, I'm sure)
Oh, and your picture would be nice, too,
thanks!
no, just the one, as well you know. you wrote the poem, dockery, and you need to
get over it. if you weren't so quick to try and claim it was yours, you wouldn't
be having this problem.
this is what happens to you when you make language your enemy.
you admitted that you did, right here in the newsgroup, in this very thread. and
you need to get over the fact that you fucked up and admitted that you did write
it, and move on.
if you weren't so stupid, you wouldn't be having this problem.
heh. dockery, you wouldn't know the truth if your life depended on it. this
really is hilarious.
everything about you is a lie, and you're just too fucking stupid to realize it.
>but truth is rarely seen in these newsgroups,
>and /never/ from you, JRS.
i speak the truth when i call your shit what is is, unspeakable shit. i speak
the truth when i point out what a pathetic loser you are. i speak the truth when
i say you're dumber than a burned fence post. all of these are obvious truths,
dockery. and you've done nothing to prove otherwise.
it's also the truth. you produce nothing but shit.
it's just so obvious.
> Where is the picture?
Which one?

You would have better luck demanding your serious
admirer Dockery do something. I ignore demands,
especially from psycho morons like you, Tommy.
> Are you as stupid as mikey?
Michael is a USENET God.
You must praise him.
You are a powerless blowhard moron.
You must off yourself.

Nobody /has/ to watch, Cat... in fact, if they don't like the work, I
prefer they don't, rather than stand in the way of progress.
They're better off watching something they /do/ like, or better yet
producing something of their own they can appreciate.

Maybe, but it's a fact different types have different effects.
Did he actually /brag/ or do you percieve it as /bragging/?
I never /brag/ about anything, just give the facts.
Again, no.
If you have any proof that I posted this, then put it here.
It's your poem, and I took no credit for it.
what progress? what the fuck are you talking about? "standing in the way of
progress." your shit hasn't changed since you started posting your shit here,
and it never will. when are you going to admit that you're not doing this to
create something, you're doing this because you enjoy posing as if you were a
real artist, when clearly you are not. it's not about the creativity with you,
dockery, it's all about the attention and the lies you MUST tell yourself.
and how is it possible for anyone stand in the way of your laughable "progress?"
where do you come up with this shit, for christ's sake.
No problem here, except to continue to inform you that you're mistaken: I
never claimed I wrote /any/ of your poems.
you admitted that you did. when i informed you that the poem was written by you,
you said that was why it was better than anything i'd ever written. that's
admitting that you wrote it, dockery. why not be a man for once?
No, only biased hypocritical opinion.
you admitted that you did write the poem, right here in this newsgroup. why
don't you be a man for once?
based on oceans of truth and evidence. you write nothing but shit. you don't
really write anything any more, ever since Colin and Dale pretty pointed out to
you that all you do write is shit, and gave you some really good advice on how
you can get better, which you promptly ignore, of course. we have your public
embarrassments to view and listen to, and we also know you've used, a number of
times, the memory of your ex-wife as a device to try and bring attention to
yourself.
the truth that you're a loser is based on oceans of evidence, dockery. it's just
so obvious.
Got proof?
Didn't think so.
certainly. when i informed you that you had written the poem, your reply was to
insist that it was better than anything i'd ever written. clearly that shows you
admitting that you wrote the poem. it was posted right here in this thread.
why don't you be a man for once?
Then why not post it?
i just did. when i informed you that you'd written the poem, you said that's why
it's better than anything i've written. you admitted that you wrote the poem,
it's just that simple. why don't you be a man for once?
As you percieve it, nothing more.
Of the art, music... the poetry.
what, you didn't post the announcement of your ex's death in a dozen different
newsgroups? that never happened? how amusing.
the fact that your wretched shit is wretched shit speaks for itself.
all based on fact.
So, this gives you some reason to drag her memory through the mud in a
sleazy attempt to hurt me?
You're a bitter obsessed fool.
Heh... apparently, from his performance of this afternoon.
your shit hasn't changed from being shit since you got here. besides, the only
person who's standing in the way of your "progress" is you, dumbass.
unless you feel everyone else is to blame for your lack of "progress?"
I make the art... what the "audience" does on /their time/ is up to them.
