If it's who I think it is, he has proven himself to me on numerous occasions
in the past to be a petty little queen. (Starting an argument on a local BBS
then telling the Sysop I'm "attacking him," for example.) It's hardly
relevant in any case.

>I realize you fashion yourself a writer, George, but what

I don't "fashion myself" anything. Having been published in _Drummer_ and
_Bear_ (repeatedly in the latter) speaks far louder than your nattering.

>you do here or at that bar-rag no more makes you a writer than picking

As it happens, _Frontiers_ is LA's leading gay newsmagazine, and the fact that
we are going national does indeed have the _Avocado_ worried. Casting petty
aspersions on my workplace doesn't become you, Roger, though it does seem to
be typical of you.

How on _earth_ you think you know what I did either at Gauntlet or now at
Frontiers is utterly beyond me. Have you become clairvoyant, and failed to
share the news of this new gift?? The facts belie your diatribe.

It is clear you have committed a common error here -- projecting your personal
difficulties onto others. Fear not, Roger -- we understand.

Being published in _Bear_ doesn't really indicate anything, other than that
the publisher likes you for some reason, George.

We get it here. I'll comforrt Mark Thompson and tell him he has little to
worry about.

So does your former employer, then.

Working for Frontiers, though I do respect its literary quality and its
persistence, doesn't really indicate anything either, except that the
publisher likes you for some reason, George. Maybe the publisher likes you
because you whine so much. It certainly wouldn't surprise me. You've got
a real talent. Could be considered an asset in certain circumstances.

Aye. The fact I can write Bear-oriented JO fiction -- on which I have
garnered many compliments. Sour grapes, Roj?

We further note you don't comment on the fact I've been published in _Drummer_
-- more sour grapes, dear?

Apparently, certain large distributors and other nationwide outlets don't
agree with you.

Jim Ward is an excellent piercer, but his grasp on the workings of his own
business is tenuous at BEST. Otherwise, he would have more people working in
his mail order dept., which generates the vast bulk of his income, rather than
sitting around in the LA storefront doing nothing of consequence. The entire
time I worked at Gauntlet, he never did seem to grasp the volume the M.O.
dept. dealt with, and from what I am told by persons who still work there,
nothing has changed.

Let's get scientific -- which is more credible, second- or third-hand
anecdotes, or observations from someone actually present?

As Gallagher says, the only way to fight ignorance and stupidity is with
ignorance and stupidity -- since that's all they can understand. Your
response clearly shows you're on the "target" side of the line.

I'm sure you'd know everything there is to know about turning whining into an
asset. This has nothing to do with ME, however.

Please George, enough of your JO routine over the net.

George, dont worry

I have contacts that are perfectly willing to sell you
some of their own hair if you promise them a Nair Job.

As for turning whining into an asset, this is summer, it is time to tan
go out and get Brown!

Remember it is better to have a whining asset than a White Ass :-)

The "diatribe" will end when I stop getting rocks thrown in my direction; I'm
just picking them up and throwing them back.

Thanks, Steve. Some people seem to think that I get published in _BEAR_
'cause I've been sucking off the publisher/editor or something. (As it
happens, Richard is happily mated with his "Partner In Woof" Chris, the
operator of Brahma Studios.)

If the net will forgive a somewhat saccharine metaphor:

George, don't throw those rocks back. Make a little pile of them and
stand on top. You'll seem taller.
