Another observation for Ian.

that), but although there have been dozens on these two newsgroups that
have been willing to piss and moan about me, there were very few that
were willing to chime in about how good your writing was, and not a
single person capable of responding to a single point that I raised
about that first "turkey" that you posted. You seem to be somewhat of a
novice with respect to these Usenet altercations, so let me make this
point clear: this is how you know you've hit home, when whiny, pissy,
largely anonymous bastards are completely unable to say a goddamned
thing about something pithy that you've served up. I think you might
know this subconciously from the numerous times you have been unable to
respond to stuff I've posted, but I think it's necessary to ram this
point home. You are trying to learn here, right?

I've said something like this before, but it bears repeating. "The
Turkey" or even MORDRED"S CURSE could be the worst piece of shit ever
written, literary abortions beside which THE EYE OF ARGON and
BATTLEFIELD EARTH are masterpieces, and you'd still be an ageing
unemployed overweight unsocialized dweeb with a greasy pompadour who
lives with his mother. I could have ghostwritten BATMAN AND ROBIN or
spend all my time writing KNIGHT RIDER fan fiction and you'd still
have a clumsily phrased, typo-ridden and temptingly unsecure website
advertising a dubious product. I could caper in the moonlight while
wearing nothing but a cloak made from the skins of Kansas farmgirls
and their Yorkshire terriers and your sad lot would not be one iota
better.
I've done things, to one relative, two girlfriends and three friends,
that I deeply regret and there have been times when I was a complete
asshole in more ways that I can count. Strangely enough, saying to
myself "hey, at least I'm not Carrot Top or Donald Rumsfield" didn't
cheer me up in the least. Does saying "hey, at least I'm not Ian
McDowell!" make you feel any better about yourself?

Or maybe it's just because not everyone wants to spend three hours a
day posting to Usenet. Notice that I didn't say "three hours a day
online" or even "reading Usenet," but specified the amount of time you
spend posting, with 90 percent of those posts being part of a futile
dick-measuring contest. I could understand you spending so many hours
flailing limply away at your phosphor enemies when you were doing it
from work, where things were presumably slow, but yikes, now that you
don't have a job you've become as much of a shut-in as Rich.
Speaking of Usenet, you might want to avoid spawning too many
redundant new threads (everything you've said here would have fit
quite handily into the "OT: Writing Sample" one). You also might want
to avoid using the expression "nigger pile" on other newsgroups.

Speaking on behalf of alt.horror (presumptuous though it may be, I
doubt few will take exception), I implore everyone, especially
Twatsky, to immediately fuck off.
Stop cross-posting to this group, stop changing headers, and if so
inclined, stop breathing. I'm tired of filtering out this abysmally
humourless 'battle'. It ceased being amusing 400 posts ago. Twatsky is
an exceptionally tenacious and witheringly tedious TROLL, do as we
have done here: IGNORE HIM. Permanently. Starve him for the attention
he so desperately craves. What could possibly hurt him more? Despite
protestations to the latter, those perpetuating this 'fight' are no
better than Moby Sikh.
Eat a gun. Thank you.

Oh, is trots claiming no one's said they like your writing? Well, that's
easy to remedy. Sorry for the oversight.
I like your writing. In fact, I quite enjoyed Mordred's Curse when I read
it a couple years ago (before finding this group).

Well, yeah. You're a basketcase, with some kind of weird lack of
self-esteem/overestimation of self-esteem thing going on. And I find it
really weird and even scary that you would even mention my mother.
Isn't that topic off limits?

Yeah, that's the fascinating thing about life: we all get to do what we
want to do. Hanging out in North Carolina or whatever bumblefuck place
you live isn't my idea of a good time, either. Hell, I'll bet the sushi
is super good south of the Mason-Dixon line, right?

Uh, Ian, it sounds like most of your writing involves some sort of dick
worship. But please, tell me more about how you focus on all the "right
things" in life.

Ah, I get it. And you write, which is such a social endeavor. Let me
guess: when you get tired of hanging out and writing in one Starbucks
you go across the street to the other Starbucks, right? Again, Ian, I'm
all ears, tell me some more stories about what the proper way to live
one's life is. Oh, I should also point out that you've settled into the
typical Usenet tactic of deflection: you're afraid to talk about my
pointed comments about you, so you try and turn it around to talk about
me. I'm starting to get a swelled head from the all the conversations
being about me. I suppose you could say that you're saving us from
sleep inducement as an excuse.

Jeez Ian, now you're getting into the realm of the criminal here. You
are so sad. I trounce you again and again with mere words, so you have
to resort to threats. How much does it suck to be you? Do you realize
you couldn't respond to a single point I raised in my post? And how
much of a hypocrite could you possibly be? Trying to restrict my free
speech like this--it's as if your whole life is a lie. Don't you have
any explanation for your behavior here?

Nobody responded to your "points" because they were too
asinine to be worthy of a response.
