Will Dockery is also considered an offensive term, but that doesn't stop you from using it.

Hahahaha!
Hahahaha!

And Pendragon is obviously sWill's greatest obsession-- look at all the half-assed auto-incorrect efforts he puts into responding to him, and to a group of people that sWilly dismisses as trolls like he's superior-- it must be the only way sWill has to elevate that ego of his, since the music scene, Usenet and the World in general disregards him.

Now Jordy, before you preach to us, go preach to the Vancouver Canucks and Canadians...

Canuck
informal
noun
plural noun: Canucks
a Canadian (SOMETIMES derogatory in US use).
"as a true Canuck, Hayden loves pizza"
dated
a French Canadian.

Plus you think there should be no rules in posting here, no concern for what others think except for friends, you condone an environment where "derogatory" means nothing if friends don't mind

Not really what I think, but I don't think we need Pendragon's bogus guidelines.

HTH and HAND.

[Ash Wurthing]

I was speaking to Jordy in the second half of the post-- not everything is about you and your ego, I will have you know. But if you must know--
Funny, those bogus guidelines include the guidelines you fools promoted against his initial guidelines-- so what you promote is BOGUS as well, as always and so on you will go-- BOGUSLY!!
remember my so called death fantasy--
"I have but one desire
Let it be
A pestilence upon your lands
And a plague upon all your houses
And all that lives on the vine is rotten
May your wines be foul
And your bread as the flesh of the dead
As the flesh of the dead
The dead
An ill wind to bring nought but decay
Nought but decay
Decay
And the stench of your slaughtered kin
Your slaughtered kin
Dead"

[Michael Pendragon]

FYI: "My" guidelines were largely based on the original guidelines.

FAQ #13 still retains the original 1999 date:

13. DO YOU HAVE IRC CHATS OR OTHER SCHEDULED GATHERINGS?
Not as of this writing (February 1999). There is a semi-official AAPC
chat room but it has never been used for a formal AAPC chat. There has
also been some banter on having a picnic in the summer of 1999, but no
volunteer hosts as of yet.

The only modifications have been made were done to curtail the abuses of AAPC by you and your socks (which have been *directly* responsible for the hostile atmosphere that has existed here for the past 20+ years).

[Michael Pendragon]

For clarity:

Welcome to AAPC – the “in place” for poets and poetry fans to hang out in the 21st century.

You may have only recently discovered this group, but it has been around for a while, and therefore has a decades long history of archived posts that are accessible via the search function.

Start there. Learn from our history in order to not repeat our mistakes.

Then, before you post, please think about being interesting. We lose more visitors here due to lack of interest than any other single cause.

AAPC is an unmoderated group, so pretty much anything goes.

But while we don’t have any official set of rules per se, here are some guidelines for getting along with your fellow AAPC members:

1) Treat other members with some semblance of civility. Like generates like. If you treat others with a little respect, they’ll probably return the favor.

2) Post On-Topic. The topic here is Poetry, so post an original poem or comment on someone else’s poetry. If you want to discuss folk music, “Star Trek,” comic books or post videos of the “talent” at your local karaoke bar, you’re in the wrong group.

3) Don’t over post. Limiting one’s posts to 10 per day is greatly appreciated. Making 25 posts per day can be damned annoying; so unless you’re the most interesting and knowledgeable writer on the planet, save it for your personal blog.

4) Don’t hijack other people’s threads. If a thread’s topic is “Walt Whitman,” you should only make a comment pertaining to Walt Whitman. If you wish to discuss a poem you’ve written that was inspired by Mr. Whitman, start your own thread.

5) Flame wars happen – especially in unmoderated groups like this one. However, there are certain lines that no one should ever cross. Don’t attack your opponent’s family members (unless he/she introduces them into the discussion). And remember that what happens on AAPC stays at AAPC. Don’t threaten to contact your opponent’s spouse, employer, etc.

6) Don’t repeat or bump posts. If you post an original poem and no one comments on it… tough cookies. Lack of response means that no one found it interesting enough to warrant one. If you must repost it, at least have the decency to wait a year or seven. While you’re waiting you can write something new and try posting it instead. Similarly, if you must bump, please limit yourself to one bump per poem or post.
*Seasonal poems, however, can be bumped/reposted each year.

7) Don’t respond to a post unless you have something of value to contribute to the thread. One word replies, and generic responses such as "I agree" and "yep" and "You nailed it" and "having another read" should be avoided. Comments mean comments, not clichés.

8) Don’t post and run. If you post a famous poem, make an original comment on it. We all have, or are capable of subscribing to, Poem a Day. We don’t need to read (or reread) every single poem that you do. If you like a poem, but can’t think of anything to say about it, don’t post it.

9) Don’t feed the trolls.

FAQs:

1. WHAT IS AAPC?
Alt.arts.poetry.comments is a Usenet group of poets who share their work
for comments or critiques. Some poets use the group as a sounding board
before submitting their poem(s) to literary magazines. Most are looking
for advice or help in fine-tuning their writing, developing better
images, improving their use of language, and making sure their writing
is clear and enjoyable to the reader.

2. WHAT DOES C&C MEAN?
Generally, Comments & Critiques (or Criticism). Some writers put this
in the header of their post (i.e. "Lazy Day Poem - C&C Please") to
indicate that they want comments on their poem. However, since the
group is devoted to comments, most posts will receive a reply of some
kind even without the C&C designation.

3. HOW SHOULD I POST MY POETRY?
There are no cut-and-dried rules for posting poetry to AAPC. However,
there are a few "don'ts" that are fairly broadly agreed upon:
-- Do not post your poem as an attachment to your message. Most
internet users are aware that dangerous computer viruses can be
contained in Microsoft Word documents, and will ignore .doc
attachments. In general, it is easier on the reader to include the poem
in the body of the post; downloading and opening attachments usually
takes too much time.
-- Do not post using HTML. Some newsgroup-reading software cannot
handle HTML posts, and some automatically reject them, so not everyone
will see your post. They also are larger in size and take up more space
on the computer and more bandwidth in transmission. Most software used
to read and post newsgroups allows you to choose between posting as
plain text or HTML; choose the plain text option.
-- Do not attach pictures (binaries, gifs, jpegs, etc.) or sound files
(wavs, midis, mpegs, etc.) to your posts. Again, some news servers will
automatically reject them, so not everyone will see your post.
-- Do not type your poem or message in all capital letters. Using all
caps is universally considered "shouting" in newsgroups and chat rooms.

4. HOW MANY POEMS SHOULD I POST AT A TIME?
While there is no limit to the number of poems you can post at a
sitting, people are most likely to read and respond to your poem if you
post no more than two or three at a time. And as mentioned above, since
there are many poems posted each day, a shorter work is more likely to
receive comments.

5. WHAT KIND OF HEADER SHOULD I USE?
Use the title of the poem, if it has one. If you can't decide on a
title, try a header like: "Need a Title..." to let the reader know you'd
appreciate comments on that subject. If it is your first poem-post, it
is fine to use the header "First Poem" or "First Post". Do not use
headers designed strictly to get attention, and it is preferable not to
use headers that have nothing to do with your poem.

6. DO I HAVE TO HAVE A TITLE FOR MY POEM?
Not necessarily - see #5.

7. DO I HAVE TO WRITE A CERTAIN KIND OF POETRY?
AAPC has poets who use all forms and styles of poetry. The group
includes but is not limited to free verse, tanka, haiku, sonnet,
sestina.... Feel free to use the poetic form you are most comfortable
with, or to post experiments in forms. There are several poets who are
quite knowledgeable and can help you with the rules of certain poetic
forms.

8. WHAT IF I DON'T GET ANY COMMENTS?
There could be several reasons for the lack of comments. Most likely it
is because the group is following the old rule: "If you can't say
nothin' nice, don't say nothin' at all." The readers might not have
understood your poem or liked it. Sometimes posts are ignored because
of too much bad spelling, grammar or punctuation, which can distract the
reader from the content of the poem and make it frustrating to get
through.
Check your post again; look for typos, correct any errors that you find,
and repost it in a few days with the note that it has been revised.
It is an (until now) unspoken rule, though, that it is best to read the
group for a few days, contribute some comments of your own, then post
your poem once people have noticed you and gotten to know you. Many
readers are more comfortable commenting when they've seen you around for
awhile and know that you are interested in what they have to say.
Also, consider the length of your post. Since there are many poems
posted every day, a shorter work is more likely to receive comments.

9. SHOULD I RESPOND TO THE COMMENTS I RECEIVE?
Definitely! Even if you don't agree with the comment, it is a courtesy
to make a brief response to show you appreciated the time taken to read
and reply to your poem. If you repeatedly do not respond to comments on
your work, you may find that readers stop commenting altogether.

10. WHEN AND HOW SHOULD I COMMENT ON OTHER PEOPLE'S POSTS?
All posts are open to comments. Feel free to point out what
specifically you liked about the poem: what lines, images, words did you
find particularly interesting or captivating? At the same time, you can
also point out any changes you feel might enhance the poem. If you feel
a word in a certain place is awkward, feel free to comment on it and
suggest a suitable replacement word if you can. It isn't necessary to
give a detailed commentary on each poem, though; in general, the poet
will appreciate knowing you read the poem, so a few words to indicate
you read and enjoyed it are always nice.

11. IS IT OK TO EMAIL MY COMMENTS DIRECTLY TO THE POET?
This is usually a matter of personal preference. If you have become
familiar with the poet through other posts to the newsgroup, it is
generally acceptable. If you do not know the person, they may ignore
your email, so it is preferable to post to the group.

12. CAN I REWRITE SOMEONE'S POEM FOR THEM?
If you feel comfortable doing so, the poet will usually appreciate the
effort involved. Rewriting sections or giving comments on specific
lines are welcome as well.

13. DO YOU HAVE IRC CHATS OR OTHER SCHEDULED GATHERINGS?
Not as of this writing (February 1999). There is a semi-official AAPC
chat room but it has never been used for a formal AAPC chat. There has
also been some banter on having a picnic in the summer of 1999, but no
volunteer hosts as of yet.

14. ARE THERE ANY AAPC-RELATED WEB SITES?
Many of the poets have their own sites, and most list them in their
signature files or post notices of updates to the newsgroup.

15. ARE THERE ANY PUBLISHED / FAMOUS / INFAMOUS POETS IN THE GROUP?
Depends on who you ask! The vast majority of the poets have had some of
their work published. Some are published widely in anthologies and
well-respected poetry journals. No one has made a million from their
poetry, but we have our suspicions on who will be famous someday.

16. DO POETRY EDITORS READ THE NEWSGROUP?
Some participants are editors of poetry journals, both on-line and
print. Quite possibly there are other editors who "lurk" (read but
don't post).

17. MIGHT I BE OFFERED A BOOK CONTRACT BY POSTING MY POETRY HERE?
Not likely. If you are, be very suspicious of it.

18. WHAT IS CONSIDERED "OFF-TOPIC"?
Poets by their nature enjoy tangents. You'll see a lot of threads
beginning with a poem and going off in a sometimes bizarre, completely
unrelated direction.
By and large, keep your original posts (not part of an existing thread)
limited to your own poetry, or questions about poetry.

19. DO I HAVE TO USE MY REAL NAME?
Internet handles are okay, many regulars use them. To build
familiarity, stick to the same one, or use your real name.

20. WHAT IS "A YEAR OF SUNDAYS" (AYoS)?
AAPC publishes a monthly online "sampler" featuring new poetry by its members.
All AAPC members are invited to participate; however, those who do abuse the
privilege may jeopardize this benefit. An annual "best of" print edition is also published.

[Ash Wurthing]

Your statement is blatantly stupid, in your case patented.
If it was of no interest, then why reply? Oh wait I had to check, it must have been so you could control freak me by deleting my word for your "corrected record." You may think that you're pissing me off, but like with your auto-incorrect, I don't usually take notice of it, so you waste your time. But that's nothing new for you and your crew here, who seem only able to bump the same old troll spam victories with the same old tired words and say hello endlessly like this is some idiotic comedy skit.
Also, don't forget as you always bray, don't speak for the rest of us.

Yes, I'm still 'round, drifted away for an hour or so, and dreamed in images for the first time in a long time-- of a haunted ancestral home. Of course I had to be so bold to seek out its secrets and my dream killed me most brutally and gloriously!

Neither did your friend Dunce, using the Yankee label as an obvious insult against a Southern person. Your side is just as guilty and it looks you will be also by jumping in. I thought you said you were staying out of fights? You're getting pretty petty and bold like with the "Senetto and Senility" and the "Serve Country" threads.
You never answered about the definition of Canuck and what about the Vancouver Canucks hockey team-- are we not allowed to say that word here? You said no rules in posting here and that only what a person's friends think of a post matters here-- so suffer by your sword!
How about that thread you were on with your friends Dance, Willy and Zod-- 'Senetto and Senility' was it titled? I beat that really pleased you to help bump that thread every day to the top of the threads to shame a senior citizen...
You best run back to your safe place hello threads...
Both Canuck and Yankee can be non derogatory terms, as the formal definition of the word shows, used by people referring to another nationality. Context is everything-- like me calling Dunce a Cankook-- he earned that label.

[Will Dockery]

Even Pendragon would have to know the history of the word Yankee.

Poor sWilly, trying to act like he knows what he talks about

"Some people love it—especially baseball fans who root for the New York Yankees. Some people hate it—the word started as an insult. Some people think it's simply a silly description for people who live in a certain area of the United States."

## Despite how foreigners used the word, it's been used by Americans well before it attained international and before and after the Civil War, Southerners have a broader definition for the word, its former use was for people from New England.

"In the United States, the term specifically refers to residents of New England. New England includes the states of Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island."
"No one is really sure where the word Yankee came from. Some say a British general named James Wolfe used it first in 1758 when he was commanding some New England soldiers. Others say the word comes from the Cherokee word eankke, which means coward."

"The song "Yankee Doodle" is a familiar one to many who grew up in the United States. It started out as a well-known British song, dating back to the early 1700s. The song describes a sloppy person. Its lyrics were sung originally by British military officers to mock the amateur "Yankee" soldiers of the American Colonies."

!! how appropriate for the high 'n mighty Colonial from Canada to use the term

"To foreigners, a Yankee is an American.
To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner.
To Northerners, a Yankee is an Easterner.
To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander.
To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter.
And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast."
-- E. B. White

I do know, actually.

I don't claim to know all about it, like you claimed about comics.

HTH and HAND.

🙂

[Ash Wurthing]

But you are arguing with it by attempting to belittle me for what you complimented as "nice Googling." Anything for a troll victory, huh?

> At least you admitted it.

[Ash Wurthing]

Actually you were attempting, multiple times, to lame someone over what you claim to know, coming across as acting superior and rubbing it in...
And sWill resorts to the old comics deflection for the Losenet veteran imagined victory!! Someone else stating facts must really threaten that insecure control freak ego of yours!!! I don't need to declare victories over you, you self defeat yourself for me!!

[Ash Wurthing]

Thank you control freak, for trying to tell us what I know or not know-- you have no proof, as usual, or clue as to what I know.
NOW PROVE THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF IT, OR PROVE YOURSELF A NARCISSISTIC TROLL FOOL...

But if you paid attention, I knew the original Anglo-Saxon word that fuck replaced...

The whole matter of Yankee brings up the song associated with it which they say originally was "a traditional song and nursery rhyme." The tune even older.

From Wikipedia:
"The earliest words of "Yankee Doodle" came from a Middle Dutch harvest song which is thought to have followed the same tune, possibly dating back as far as 15th-century Holland. It contained mostly nonsensical words in English and Dutch: "Yanker, didel, doodle down, Diddle, dudel, lanther, Yanke viver, voover vown, Botermilk und tanther." "


## In articles about the word Yankee, there were some guessing that it came from Dutch from the Dutch settlers of New Netherland (NYC area)
## The song was later altered by the British

"In British conversation, the term "Yankee doodle dandy" implied unsophisticated misappropriation of upper-class fashion, as though simply sticking a feather in one's cap would transform the wearer into a noble. Peter McNeil, a professor of fashion studies, claims that the British were insinuating that the colonists were lower-class men who lacked masculinity, emphasizing that the American men were womanly."

"The song was a pre-Revolutionary War song originally sung by British military officers to mock the disheveled, disorganized colonial "Yankees" with whom they served in the French and Indian War. It was written at Fort Crailo around 1755 by British Army surgeon Richard Shuckburgh while campaigning in Rensselaer, New York. The British troops sang it to make fun of their stereotype of the American soldier as a Yankee simpleton who thought that he was stylish if he simply stuck a feather in his cap. It was also popular among the Americans as a song of defiance, and they added verses to it that mocked the British and hailed George Washington as the Commander of the Continental army. By 1781, "Yankee Doodle" had turned from being an insult to being a song of national pride."

But Doc seems to be saying that there was no problem with people calling you and treating you like a "Yankee"... some nice guy he shows himself to be!!

[Will Dockery]

No, you're confused again, Ash

HTH and HAND.

[Ash Wurthing]

You had no problem with your Dunce babble head calling a Southerner a Yankee in this thread.

[Ash Wurthing]

"Outside the United States, Yank is used informally to refer to an American person or thing. It has been especially popular in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand where it may be used variously with UNCOMPLIMENTARY OVERTONE, endearingly, or cordially."
Yankee - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee

Like the tone of the message of the song that you linked, and in the context of this thread, I would put money on the libelous tatting Dunce using it as an insult, with you being his white knight apologistb just like covering his demonizing trans people...
You dilberries always make a mockery out of Jordy's idealistic lip service but self-serving words.
So sad that Jordy comes on with words condemning the derogatory use of Canuck and your go and do what he says is so wrong with Yankee-- just for a troll tat victory, this is just Jordy being your trolling patsy...

Tell that to Hordy, he's the one that wants people to stop using words like Canucks, and Yankees by association...
Me, I can care less. Just like when Jim addressed me about Dunce dissing my military service, while he hypocritically acknowledged Zod's, and with Dunce calling ME a Yankee-- all I can say is: can you expect anything any better from someone as lowly as #GeorgeJDance, who calls people speaking out against transphobia and wanting to protect trans people from persecution, calling them haters who incite and celebrate mass murder of school children. All you can expect from such a dunce is the most vile lies and slurs.
