I'd be interested in seeing the evidence for that one. Based
on what I saw from Suzie's posts, it would appear that she is
gainfully employed in some capacity which permits her Internet
access at work. (I suppose she could be a cleaning lady who
takes advantage of the fact that some folks leave their computers
on when they leave their job...).

posting to alt.flame is done only to take a break from counting their

Maybe she didn't blat his child out of her slimy womb, but she's got
SOMETHING on ALVIN STARDUST.

Actually, I took my beef up with Suzie's workplace (she posted
that threat from Siemens... the people I sent email to seemed
to agree that this constituted harassment and an unacceptable
use of company resources, though I have no idea what they did
about it, if anything).
Posting a threat to contact someone's workplace FROM your
workplace is not one of the brighter moves in Usenet history.

Well, *someone* certainly played bottom dog in the aforementioned

That won't wash, either. Had you been paying attention, you would have
noticed that going on sabbatical for a while, usually in the latter part
of the year, is standard practice for yours truly.

Had I found the motivation to read a.f assiduously over a period of
years, perhaps in order to compile an illustrated history of pocket
lint, doubtless I would. As it is, I pop in now and then to say hello
to Menjy, and to see if balloo's up to anything.
I wasn't *particularly* attributing your departure to an overwhelming
desire to immerse your butt in some glacier-fed mountain stream, to the
accompaniment of a glad 'Sssss...', a cloud of steam and a heartfelt

But a way out of our little impasse suggests itself. You seemed to be
saying earlier that TT would be toast, academically speaking, were that
little slip of his you so slyly engineered to become common knowledge
among his peers. So why don't we go and look for them, on sci.lang or
some mailing list (balloo may have some suggestions, if you don't
consider his input too biased)? Of course, being in all probability
serious individuals with work to do, they may need a certain amount of
buttering up before they're willing to consider something as earth-
shattering as what happened on a.f over two years ago.
You'd better leave that bit to me. Not that I especially enjoy being
polite or anything, but under the circumstances getting them to even
read the exchange concerned is likely to require near-fellatial
obsequiousness, not to mention refraining from xposting back here.

Are you kidding? Like any alt.flame contributor, much less Howard Miller,
warrants that level of attention?
The sole reason that I kept the "Who Spanked Texas Tom?" thread going as
long as I did was to donate enough rope for you and Balloo to hang
yourselves (which you both, natch, did). I have better things to do.
In fact, I have better things to do than a thimblewit like you could

So every time you run from an argument for a few months is an
indicator to you that you've won that argument? That dovetails
nicely with your belief that people ridiculing you are paying
you some form of flattery.
Hey, did you read any Mencken while you were gone?

Hello. I've been away for a bit, and I assume you have too. I noticed we both
reappeared in r.a.p. within minutes of each other this week. I briefly
wondered if anyone would conclude that we were, in fact, the same person, but
then realized that there's hardly anyone over there to conclude anything.
Oh, and Balloo isn't, as far as I can tell.
I ain't complaining about *mine*. You can go off on as many
conveniently-timed sabbaticals as you like.

I merely referred to you as the party that subsequently disappeared for
several months, which you did. Whether cynical readers choose to infer
accusations of scampering into abject spankdom is up to them.

It's nothing to do with Howard per se - he's just a means to an end.
It's supporting your own contentions, and hence your own vestigial
credibility, that *might* warrant that level of attention.
Or not, of course.

He also awarded him a Fullbright scholarship and paid for him
to spend two years on the Costa del Sol while Stain subsisted
on 79¢ 7-11 chili cheese dogs. Now that is altruism.

Heh. I take it you didn't spend your months away from usenet
reading Mencken's posthumously published journals. Just out
of curiosity, Stain, why did you latch on to that *particular*
lost cause? I wasn't flaming you, merely mentioning a fact
about a writer I admired, an anecdote to be shared amongst
friends. I'd assumed you admired him as well, as you had
quoted him... but YOU knew you were completely ignorant
of the life and works of Mencken, why did you spend a month
prior to your fleeing usenet denying the man was an antisemite?
Why did you keep coming back to that point that you had so
decisively lost?
Not that I care, it's just funny to see you twist yourself
into knots like a hagfish attempting to rid itself of the
envelope of poisonous slime it created and wishes from which
to escape.

Dubious achievement. John Dobbs could spank Texas Tom. For crying out

Last June, you were claiming that the thread was over. Now you're claiming
that I ran from it. At least get your story straight.
As far as actual indicators that I won such an argument... well, let's

Thank you. The topic under discussion is of course "Did Stain
Spank Texas Tom?" The answer is no. Thank you, good night,
drive safely, don't forget to tip your waitress and remember Stain's

I'm not defending Howie. That cocksucker is slurping back
marguritas on my tax dollars. Fuck him. But your claims that
his absence has some causal connection to anything you've ever
done in your life is just about the most ludicrous thing I've
ever heard.

"I'm not defending Texas Tom! I'm not! But he's in southern Spain doing
research and not spanked! And he's brilliant in Arabic linguistics! And
the idea that you spanked him is the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard!
But I'm not defending him!"
Jesus Christ Almighty. How... WilfLeBlanckian. Especially considering
that you proceeded to, uh, "not defend him" at such tremendous lengths in
the rest of the thread. Not to mention your having broken the hyperbole
meter with that last sentence (and the two-dollar words didn't help with
anyone who was paying attention).
I mean, the sonofawhore couldn't even handle ENGLISH, as shown by his
numerous spelling and grammar errors in every post, much less Arabic --
demonstrating that he's gotten by in his field by ass-sucking rather
than virtue. Does anyone but you really believe that he magically transformed
into a literate, artistic genius whenever he turned off his newsreader?
But there's even more. Here's the very last article I wrote in the thread,

Indeed. He refrained from participating in usenet discussions due to an

Since you and a few other people have such difficulty with this idea, and
since this thread has been more or less dormant for the last week, I'll
explain this one... more... time.
Of course Howard was humiliated lots of other times. Getting caught not
recognizing a Shakespeare reference was the first time, however, that had
severe potential RL repercussions. The line ("There are many things in
heaven and earth, Horatio, that are undreamt of in your philosophy")
was not quite well-known enough to be widely recognized (e.g. "To be or
not to be"), but sufficiently famous such that somebody who was trying
to convince everybody how cultured and erudite he was would have absolutely
no excuse for missing it. It was perfect.
See, I went to college, too. I've had to breathe the same air as Howard's
kind of people more times than I'd care to admit. I also used to have a
friend who was an English major who confirmed all my darkest suspicions
about the humanities departments, and who was delighted to tell me more
and worse horror stories than I had witnessed myself. (He used to swear
up and down that he'd expose them all for what hypocrites they are, but
he turned out to be all mouth. But that's another story.)
Most people are all front and all window dressing, but Arts and Crafts
students really abuse the privilege. It's basically the same old adolescent
clique games that everybody used to play in high school, only many times
worse because the stakes are so much higher. And all that that implies.
Howard didn't just confirm how vicious his cronies were. He *bragged*
about it.
"Sorry, Stain, the large amount of free time we get relative to hours at
work, is always one of the big laughs at the academic coffee house on
Monday mornings as we watch you lot scurry about."
-- TT, in <hdmiller-090...@remote3-arap48.cis.yale.edu>
See?
It doesn't even matter if he somehow had some defense and really did
know the reference. Far less damning pieces of evidence could have led
to his doom, not unlike how that government official lost his job for
publically using the word "niggardly" not too long ago. What does the
truth matter to people like Howard Delgin Miller?
I can just see it now...
It was a breezy Connecticut morning as Howard walked into the academic
coffee house. Doffing his overcoat and hanging it on the handcarved wooden
coathook by the front door, he made his way over to his usual table. The
usual faces sat in: there was Stephen, wearing his favorite tie, and
nosing through Kierkegaard... there was Paul, as usual fingering his pipe
due to the house prohibition on his lighting it... and there was Professor
Toler ("Dick" to friends), Howard's thesis advisor... and all the others,
their appearance yielding the usual comfort of familiarity.
As a matter of fact, it was literally that... *all* the others.
I haven't seen the whole gang all together since Christmas, thought
Howard. I wonder what's the occasion?
Howard sat down. "Good morning, fellas. How are you?"
Dick had been watching him come in. Suddenly he broke eye contact and
turned to the others. "One... two... three."
All at once, everyone at the table except Howard produced a computer
printout and held it up to Howard's sight.
The printout was of a certain 1998 Usenet article.
Any good horror director knows that silence is the most terrifying sound
of all. That very sound bore heavily down on Howard's usual table. On
Howard himself most of all.
He knew... exactly... what was happening to him. He knew exactly what they
were doing to him. Because he had done it, with them, to so many others.
How they had all loaded up the venom, and unloaded it all on Charles
Wedgeworth, who had been one of Yale's most promising young English students
until Dean had seen him alone by the Farmington River, singing along with his
secret collection of Motley Crue CDs. He remembered similar broadsides...
at Lucy, who'd been found nosing through the "Adult Books" section in that
quiet roadside bookshop in East Hartford where Beverly was fond of seeking
obscure editions of her favorite Steinbecks (Howard remembered because Harry
had broken his engagement to her within the hour; one for the record books,
that one was)... at Philip, who'd had the unsound judgment... nay, the
UNMITIGATED GALL... to speak warmly of true-crime books while soused at
Emily's coming-out bash... at Gail, who'd fallen asleep during one of
Dick's afterdinner speeches on how much English poetry had been unforgivably
torched by the Puritans.
How he had laughed and laughed... even, alone in his room, weeks, *months*
after the fact... at the deer-in-the-oncoming-headlights looks on their
faces. The rejection. The ridicule.
But suddenly the memories weren't funny anymore. Because now they were
coming for him.
And all that Charles and Gail and the others had done, that had no
reflection whatever on how educated they really were. Even Lucy's huge-ass
penis pictures were more defensible for a Yale doctoral candidate than...
than...
Part of him, deep inside, had always known this was coming. How quickly,
after the offending article had arrived on the computer thingy, he had told
everyone he was retiring from the Usenet groups... and how gullibly so
many had believed him. (Ah, the joys of being a practiced liar. An academic
career teaches some useful skills after all, he'd smugly observed.) Thank
God he'd had such an excellent excuse, what with the Fulbright trip to
Spain coming up. It wasn't long before he even believed it himself, and
he thought no more about the matter.
But how... deeply offended, to use a completely inadequate phrase, for
want of any better... he was, to have this door that he'd nailed shut in
his mind, and left for so long, brutally ripped open.
Not being able to bear to look at the unmistakable rictuses of sadistic
glee on the faces of his colleagues and closest friends, he looked at the
umpteen-reproduced article. He knew what was there.
There, in plain black and white, was Stain's jest... put two columns
to the right by the quoted-article marks, per Usenet convention: "There
are more things in heaven and earth, Fuckheado, than are dreamt of in
your philosophy."
Right below was that reply that Howard had so rushed out, so full of his
red mist, so determined to not let some computer nerd get the better of him.
Why didn't he wait? "Kaptain Stain's Cliche Machine! Guaranteed to turn any
piece of writing into a steaming puddle of hackneyed piss, in fifty words or
less. Available at a Walmart near you."
And right below that:
"<archive>
"Creeeeeeeeeeeeak... CLANG!
"Act 1, Scene 5, Verse 175."
Howard said nothing, of course. What could he say?
Finally Stephen broke the silence. "Really, Howard. Somebody on alt.flame
knows the Bard better than you do?"
Paul chimed in without missing a beat. "You know, you quote Hawthorne
and Catullus so much I used to think you had their entire works memorized.
Now it turns out you don't even have a good working knowledge of Shakespeare?"
Dick turned to look at the boys once more. "What was I telling you the
other day about how I always suspected it was all cribwork before hand? What'd
I tell ya?"
Howard had to use all his strength to keep his voice from cracking. It was
still too loud, however. "It was a cliche! You can see what I wrote right
there! It was a cliche!"
"Riiiiight." George took no time at all to reply. It was doubly chilling
to hear, since Howard had picked up using "riiiiight" himself from all the
times George had said it, with just the right level of sarcasm...
Dick didn't even try to hide his smirk. "Sorry, Howard, but we have
reputations to uphold." With that, came the disconnect gesture that Howard had
seen him and the others perform so many times: the turning of the head just
slightly away, as if he'd only just spoken to a smelly bum to whom he'd
given the time of day. Giving Howard no time at all to reply: "Let's go,
men. We're finished here."
Paul turned to Stephen. "Yeah, I have to go pick up a copy of a book for my
parents. It's _A Christmas Carol_, by... what's that guy's name again?"
Paul and Stephen simultaneously broke into laughs so restrained, so
minimalist, that they sounded more like wheezes. It was so perfect that
it just had to have been rehearsed.
Everyone, except Howard, rose from the table and filed out, just fast
enough to be not quite running. As they did, Howard, too dazed to move, was
lightly pelted with bright yellow booklets. All of Dick's party had brought
one.
The party was almost out the door before Howard realized what they were.
They were Cliffs Notes for _Hamlet_ and most of Shakespeare's other plays.
Howard just had to make one last try. Right before the abyss. "Dick...
you're still going to be my advisor for my Eli doctorate, aren't you?"
That tore it. They had been bursting at the seams to maintain dead
silence for maximum effect, but they just couldn't hold back any longer.
The roars of laughter filled the room. They drew the stares of everyone
but the two old men in the corner who, as usual, were too focused on
their chess game to notice anything short of nuclear annihilation. They
shook the Staffordshire in the glass cupboards on the far side of the
room.
Without another word, they left.
If you've ever had a severe injury, you know that there's markedly
little pain at first. You're too numb from the general overload.
Such was Howard Delgin Miller, as he sat with the cups of cold coffee and
the check, wearing his complimentary Cliffs Notes. Intellectually, he knew
what was happening to him, but on a gut level he was as yet getting only a
glimpse.
There was no place he could go. His circle of friends was too closely
knit. He knew that, all week, he'd be played variations on this same theme
by his other friends... his other linguistics professors... his lover...
Howard shed a single tear. He let it roll down his cheek. It was one
more tear than anyone else would shed for him.
Flashforward to Arkham Asylum. Home sweet home. Right next door to
Felix's endless raving about the bugs that only he could see, and across the
corridor from the lady who's in love with Abraham Lincoln, Howard
Delgin Miller still bears his favorite writing implement, demonstrating
his cultural superiority. Or as much of it as he can, anyhow, with his
arms in straitjacket and a crayon grasped with his toe.
As he lies on the warm padded floor, his saliva pools by his face as
his blankly staring eyes relive Stephen's and Paul's wheeze-laugh over
and over, for eternity. Yet, in a demonstration of the indomitability of
the human spirit, he still brandishes his mighty flaming ability that
made him the terror of Usenet readers everywhere.

the more dependent your status is on your political skills. What's more,
the more that I read about politics, the more I find that anything resembling
character or decency works against you in such endeavors.
Hence, it's not surprising that a total sack of shit like Texas Tom would
prosper in a gray-area field like yours, and in academia especially. After
all, who could possibly envy Howard D. Miller?
BTW, what's it like being an Arts & Crafts student, anyway? What's it like
living in mortal terror that you might slip and assert an Incorrect Opinion
and therefore be outcast in no time flat, laying waste to years of work and
commitment? What's it like having all that competition from all those other
people who don't want to do any real work for a living? Doesn't all that
asskissing get tiresome? Aren't you worried that someday your lips are going
to freeze that way?
I presume that you're now back because the missus has finally given birth.

Holy Christ on a Cracker, Stain (a slithering, empty-headed, mealy-mouthed

Fuck, boy, I got a damn Fulbright to go to Spain.

Now Stainly can run around here like a stroppy three-year-old weeping

Nuff said.

(The Artist Formerly Known as Texas Tom)
[ end second reposted article ]
...first Adrian asked to be rescued by you, then you had to be rescued by
Texas Tom.
I mean, Jesus fucking Christ. You, a long-time veteran of the flame groups,
had not only to be RESCUED, but rescued by a flabby little shit like TEXAS
TOM.
That is the most staggeringly huge humiliation I've seen anyone on the
flame groups endure in a coon's age. I'm amazed you can actually bear to
still show your face around here. I'd rather have my arm amputated than suffer
something like that.
(Aside: I must say I like that bit from "Know It All" *chuckle*. "There
isn't a single person who was here at the time of Texas Tom's departure that
believes for a second Stain had anything to do with Howard's departure." When
you have facts on your side, you don't need a support group... not that some
HFW dirtbag would ever know that.
(I especially like that sign-off... "The Artist Formerly Known as Texas
Tom". All Arts and Crafts students dream of being real artists, but, for the
overwhelming majority of them, it will never happen, and it never should.
Namedrop they may, and pose they will, but none of 'em are fit even to lick
Spike Lee's basketball. They write about art, but they know nothing of art,
for they have no soul. ((tm) Anton Chekhov) If a real artist ever did enter
the same room as a parasitic insect like Howard Miller, the latter'd have to
run from the room, lest his head explode from sheer envy.
(Anyway...)
Do you realize that you and Adrian have staged the longest defense of an
absent flamer in the history of alt.flame? And of a not particularly
meritorious defendant, no less. Far more talented flamers have sank beneath
the waves with nary a ripple.
Let's not forget that neither of you have produced a shred of evidence to
support your sides. Not even the Fulbright URL counts, and not just because
Howard posted it rather than either of you. That Howard actually did get
such a scholarship makes the spank even better; it proves that he had even
more to lose when he was found out.
Let's also not forget the point that neither of you have dared touch with
the proverbial ten-foot pole: why, in Heaven's name, that you and Adrian
waited to dispute my authorship of his destruction until not only after I'd
claimed spank on him several times, not only after my spank of him was
nominated for Best Spank in the 1998 alt.flame Awards, but until TWENTY-ONE
MONTHS AFTER HE VANISHED.
I don't know what the real reason is that you've done so. Yet. But whatever
it is, it just can't be the reasons you stated... or any good reason for that
matter. I want to make some other sort of cruel remark about the traditional
love of mediocrity and resentment of excellence, but just that couldn't
possibly explain your and Adrian's zeal in the defense of such a pissant.
If you put the proverbial gun to my head, I'd say "drugs", but that's just
because that was the case with Haushalter, and because I was so impressed
with _Requiem for a Dream_.
I do know this, however: dirty little secrets like that have a way of
coming out. When this one does, people will talk. Possibly for threee
fucking weeks. Possibly longer. During which time what little face you
wankers have left will promptly evaporate. After all, if HFW has taught
us anything, it's that, no matter how bad your reputation is, it can always
get even worse.
Anyway... that's what I have to say about your "tee hee, we spanked you"
innuendo. Any questions?

Jesus, what you're capable of reading into things. I didn't need

assistance to complete your humiliation. And so he did, but...you
didn't realise. You went off on sabbatical thinking yourself victorious.

Your 'facts' consist of nothing more than a disturbed fantasy of how
academic reputations are made and lost, apparently based on
extrapolations from whatever humiliations were heaped on you in high
school, and weird ideas about the (negligible) importance any comment
made on a recreational Usenet group might have to academics.

'The Artist Formerly Known As' is a reference to Prince, who did it
because he was pissed off with his record company. Nothing to do with
artistic pretensions. It's a 'cliche', y'know? One which shows
considerably more sign of having gone convincingly over your head than
your Shakespeare shite did of going over Howard's. Shame it wasn't a
film reference.

As balloo pointed out, burden of proof isn't on us. You have your
claim. We've demonstrated that your claim is risible. There is no way
that Howard's failure to give the source of a cliche he'd identified
*as* a cliche means *anything*. That's the thing about cliches - they
don't *need* to have their sources identified to anyone other than
coders combining pretensions to literacy with fucked-up ideas of what
it means.
That's a small group. Admittedly, everyone in it appears to agree with
you...

Can't speak for balloo, but when Kerro mentioned various antUers and
you replied 'Some of them made good victims', it was the first time I'd
realised that you took seriously the claims you'd made at the time,
which I do vaguely remember.
I don't see why you should place so much importance on a nomination by
(AFAIK) a single anonymous (unless I can persuade Menjy otherwise)
little wanker when you were quite happy, back in June, to plonk
everyone else who remembered the original exchange and said you were
one sadly deluded puppy. This ain't no democracy, sure, even if I would
be willing to bet on who's going to be a shoe-in for most tenuous spank
claim this year. But this could see you entered (heh) in even *less*
appealing categories.

I'm pretty sure we've both said this before, but to reiterate - it's
not about Howard, it's about your claim. It is constructed upon
foundations of purest fantasy, and although I worry *slightly* about
the psychological consequences of its (inevitable) collapse, I think it
all too probable that unless we get bored or have an attack of
conscience balloo and I will, in Howard's terms, continue to use you
like a five-dollar whore, occasionally exchanging ends for the sake of
variety and inviting passers-by to avail themselves of whatever orifice
we don't happen to be employing at the time. It'll all be doubtless
quite sociable, but if I were you I'd be asking myself what effect it
might be having on my long-term marriage prospects. Metaphorically
speaking.

Claims o' Stain are such as to require a certain precision in their

That's 'proof by omission'. I omitted to guess what Stain was actually

Relevance on a.f. Heh. You think you can get more amusing parodies by

see the *coming* century on a.f as being ruled by fearless sons of fun

Keep what in mind? Precision? Go for it, carefully at first. Portrayals
are all very well, but they have to be pretty good to sting.
I guess we'll have to look forward to that as well.

What are you babbling about, Adrian? Do you have an old crusty grudge
against some organization called 'Fearless Sons of Fun', or is this
your figurative way of pissing on some innocuous little tract of a.f
swampland that caught your eye in the hope that said 'fearless sons of

I dunno, talking to you has made me change my take on that. Now I hope
he stays.

Leave it to you and the fearless sons of fun to write 5,000 word essays
on why they weren't spanked at some point?
I mean, from what I've read in this thread, it sounded like you got
spanked more or less recently. Was that what happened, in one word or
less?

To someone someplace else, maybe. It's relevant to me. You can either
ignore it or find some more oblique way of showing how irrelevant it is
to you.

But I don't get my Swahili parody, do I? If you can't remember the
beginning of a sentence by the time you get to the end, you might want
to have the Ritalin levels adjusted.

Neither, remarkably. Just that a.f seems as full of wankers as ever,

This is alt dot flame, with a side order of the flonk to go. You make

We - that's you and me - can look forward to an amusing portrayal of

Like what? You don't have time to read MY posts, but you have time to
try convincing Stain you weren't spanked? How much of a 'whatever' was
that 'whatever', laddie?

I'm complaining about flame comebacks older than you appear to be,
spunklet. More advanced than putting 'So I notice.' after 'I don't
think...', but not much.
Content is a problem, seeing as we've just met. We ain't going to have
a huge amount to discuss at first. So we end up going for each other's
style, which is a bit of a dead end.
This is one of the reasons I prefer more extended writing. YMWV.

Stain and I have a history, and things to discuss of no interest to
you. Whether I was spanked or not is the least of his worries. Your
posts aren't the stupidest available here, but I see no indication that
we'd make entertaining dancing partners.

And especially don't forget to leave out the part about... oh, you get the

More importantly, on knowing such creatures in college, and having a
college buddy who was an English major (facts that you've conveniently
decided to overlook, although I mentioned them in the previous article)
who, eminently sensibly, went into technical writing rather than keep
such company ever again. He used to tell me all about how he wrote long,
long papers in support of ideas he honestly felt to be the biggest load
of bullshit, even though he felt like puking all over his workstation
when doing so, because he knew that he would be regarded as lower than
a cockroach by his professor, not to mention the other members of the
"I Are Smart" crowd (that was his pet term for them), if ever he dared
assert an Incorrect Opinion. It was even worse for him than some, since
he had to maintain a certain GPA to keep getting his college money from
the VA.
Such folks are all about image, Adrian. Evidently, you've swallowed the
"we're so artistic, we're so sophisticated" front sold to you by Howard,
Balloo, and others hook, line, and the proverbial sinker... even though a
regular poster to flame groups ought to have an intimate understanding by
now of the universal human love of aggression. Congratulations.

with logic and evidence. You claimed at first that Texas Tom retired, then
later you claimed that he had been spanked, but not by me (yet another
indicator that you've been rather less than honest about this issue). The
burden of proof of *that* claim is upon you. Balloo, in turn, claims that
no spank of Texas Twat occurred at all, so the burden of proving that
idea falls to him. Neither of you have come up with anything substanital
to support your respective contentions.

Of course it's funny. Howard's entire life is (or, perhaps, was *evil grin*)
based on an illusion. Destroy that illusion...

If you knew anything about science, you would know that no observation
really means anything without a basis of comparison.
In that fateful summer of 1998, that little mano-a-mano between Howard and
myself started when I barged into a thread entitled "Ill-Read Petey Doomed
to Eternal Ignorance" in which Howard was lecturing Peter Miller about how
REAL writers were immeasurably superior to the latter's beloved H.P. Lovecraft
and Robert Bloch. I happened to drop a Stephen King reference, and Howard
responded with several paragraphs about the best-selling 19th-century scribe
Martin Tupper -- about how much money he made, and about how forgotten he
became such a short time after his inkwell ran dry. I also happened to mention
how _Eyes Without a Face_ and _Peeping Tom_ were flamed within an inch of
their lives when they were released, and Howard responded with how I forgot
to mention _Psycho_ had taken a critical drubbing when it was new as well.
(I hadn't, actually. _Psycho_ was a blockbuster when it was first released
despite the reviews, so it didn't quite fit in with the point I was making,
the other two pictures being financial failures and all.) All this, of course,
and reams of similar noodling, were supposed to make Howard look like quite
the All-Knowing Authority On Art. The Cultural Superior.
Had he actually recognized my Shakespeare gag, he would have responded
with something like, "Awwwwww, wook at the widdle wage-slave quoting the
Bard, ain't that cuuuuuute," followed by at least eight pages of Shakespeare
quotes, Shakespeare biography, regurgitated literary critiques of the Bard's
work with certain critical words switched with synonyms from the nearest
available thesaurus to minimize chances of plagiarism detection, and
Elizabethan history... carefully if ineptly designed to make us think
that he was the God Of All Culture and that we should kiss his Keds just
for posting here, although it really be just him being his usual highly
plonkable botlike self.
At any rate, if he was anywhere nearly as smart as he wanted us all to
think, he would never consciously given me an opening that big. Instead,
he inadvertently helped me lay bare the truth: he was an Arts and Crafts
student, and I am an engineer, and that means I have more talent in my
little finger than he had in his entire body.
Another reason that the "It was a cliche, he recognized the Bard joke as
a cliche and called it as such" defense doesn't hold water is that he was
using the "what a cliche!" rejoinder in response to half the stuff I wrote
against him. It was looking more and more like a stock flame to use on
anything for which he couldn't think of an appropriate reply. (Once again,
the key to understanding is the basis of comparison.)
It's also interesting to note that he accused me of cribbing from _Cahiers
du Cinema_ when I mentioned the Franju and Powell pictures. Sort of like
how Tim Thorne inadvertently revealed an all-too-intimate knowledge of
certain medications when he started launching "You're on prescription drugs"
flames.

The most wonderful irony of all is that I really barely know anything about
the Bard. I just happen to like him enough to have a copy of his Complete
Works around the house.

...yet you take the awards seriously enough to launch a few "nyaah nyaah,
you're only the ninth best flamer" lames in my direction. You can't have it
both ways, Adrian.
Besides, we don't necessarily know that only one person nominated that
spank for best, do we?

My arguments are backed by logic and evidence. Yours and Balloo's are
only backed by lung power. If some people around here believe you and him
rather than me, that reflects far more badly on them than me.

The same spank that resulted in my nomination for Best Spank in 1998 has
gotten me nominated for Most Tenuous Spank Claim in 2000. I love it. Sort
of like Arrhenius getting the lowest possible passing grade for his thesis
proving the existence of the atom, then getting the Nobel Prize for the
same thesis decades later.

Don't count your chickens before they're hatched, Adrian.
Given the highly suspicious circumstances leading to the spawning of
this thread, and the many instances of yours and Balloo's intellectual
dishonesty (a few more of which you were gracious enough to contribute
just in this last article), I maintain that, to be trying so hard in
defense of such a schnook, you two must have an awfully good reason.
Or rather I should say: an awfully bad one.
When the truth comes out, I may find myself the architect of yet another
alt.flame first: the nested spank.

Haven't we discussed this before?
