Liar.
My name appears on the list of "AAPC Regulars (Past and Present)." And when you click on my name, my biography appears:

No, thief. You can get away with using my name, because blog sites are nearly impossible to police.
My name (which I created) is my intellectual property. It is also a brand name, used for my various publications: "Michael M. Pendragon's Penny Dreadful," "Michael M. Pendragon's Songs of Innocence & Experience," etc. I have not licensed it to you for use on your blog, and you have no right to use it.
I have not officially registered it as a trademark because all of the small press editors I have dealt with have been honest, trustworthy, and highly reputable individuals... except for you.

Really? Then remove my name from your blog.,

He approved it for an unspecified limited time. *No one* grants use of their poetry in perpetuity -- and use of his "contributor bio," is granted for the same time as the poem.
In short, just because you were granted approval to use his bio seven years ago, doesn't mean that you have his permission to continue using it today.

Plagiarism: the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.
You are guilty of both plagiarism (Cohen, Barrett, et al) and literary theft.

If so, your overwhelming sense of paranoia has come around and bitten you on the ass.

Duplicity: a kind of deception in which you intentionally hide your true feelings or intentions behind false words or actions.
What else is your above "explanation" if not duplicitous?

Has it?
Then whose photo is this?

Again, even if you'd originally had his permission, once he demanded that his photo be taken down, you should have complied.

No, liar.
I'm saying that a contributor bio should only appear in the current issue that features the author's poetry. You do not have right to keep his poetry, bio, or photo as a permanent part of your blog.

As for your bio and photo, as I've explained to you, neither of those are on either blog or wiki -- neither has been for the past six year -- and neither are something that I want there. But you keep pretending otherwise, if it makes you feel important.

Liar.

"Michael M. Pendragon" is a brand name for high quality poetry and short stories, as published under the banners of Pendragonian Publications and Malleus Maleficarum Press.
Attaching it to your thief site, makes it appear as if I am giving my seal of approval to your blog.
I consider you to be a plagiarist, a literary thief, and the single most disreputable publisher it has ever been my misfortune to deal with.
You steal the rights to every poem you post, and should be shut down permanently.

More duplicity on your part, Mr. Dance.
You are using my name to promote your thief site in RL, and I am attempting to stop you from continuing to do so.

Plagiarism is posting a little known, and unattributed, poem by Leonard Cohen to a Usenet group and hinting that it is your own work.
Plagiarism is composing your poem almost entirely out of lines written by Syd Barrett and leaving them unattributed -- again implying that the lines were your original work.
You are the worst plagiarist who has ever blackened this group -- and that includes the Late, Unlamented, Plagiarizing Pickles.

Nitpicking and obsessing over relatively meaningless details is a George Dance trademark. You use it as a smokescreen to obscure, and ultimately evade, the real issue.

You had permission to include our poetry (Jim's, Corey's, and mine) in a *monthly issue* of PPP. Permission to use our bios/photos was also granted for that one-month period. Had you archived your previous issues, there would not be a problem.
However, you insist on keeping our material an active part of your blog. That is a form of literary theft -- and you were *never* given permission to do that.

I recently noted that someone had called you a "baby," so Mr. George "IKYABWAI" Dance is going to... go into his IKYABWAI dance.
Got it.
