Paranoia with a resultant persecution complex.

This can be the result of excessive marijuana use, or it may stem from deeper, psychological issues.

I remember George saying that as a boy, he'd have to lie in bed with his pajama pants pulled down each night while he waited for his father to come in to beat him.

[George J. Dance]

NO, you don't remember any such thing. PPoSTFU.

As I suspected, Michael, it was something you'd found in one of my

Having been beaten by one's father isn't the point. The point is that you were conditioned to lie in your bed with your pajama bottoms pulled down in docile anticipation of a whipping.

IMO, such conditioning would have proved far more harmful to your mental health than a straight-forward beating for having done something wrong.

The point about that, Michael, is that you found that line in a poem,
and just made up that it had happened to: and then went on to make up
that I'd said it had happened to me.

All you've found that I actually said happen to me is that I'd been
beaten by my father as a child. So, since that is your entire point,
I'll ask you again:

Were you beaten by your father as a child?

Actually, STeve, what I described happening to me was corporal
punishment: "The boy is a composite; largely based on my own

That reminds me of when I used to slip into young Jordy's room and give him a little nightcap at bedtime. He was such a cute kid.

[Michael Pendragon]

That is not all I found by you, George. You said that your poem was "largely based on (your) own experience" and that you were subjected to "corporal punishment."

The two statements, taken in conjunction, strongly imply that the boy lying in bed with his bare ass exposed was George J. Dance.

But why drag this out? If you want to pretend that the bare-assed boy was one of the other boys who provided a much smaller portion of the basis of your poem, now would be the perfect opportunity to do so.

Barring this disclaimer to the contrary, the implication remains.

No, Michael, they really don't. "Largely based" implies that my poem is
*not* entirely based on my own experiences (not strictly
autobiographical); which goes for the one stanza you quoted as well as
for the rest. You imagined that one was strictly autobiographical, and
you liked that so much that you imagined that I'd told you that it was
strictly autobiographical.

"Largely based" would mean at least 50% -- and certainly gives the impression of a much larger percentage.

As previously noted the conjunction of your two statements make its autobiographical nature extremely probable.

In light of your previous statement/s: "The boy is a composite; largely based on my own experience...and most of
the boys (in my family) were subject to corporal punishment"; and barring any information to the contrary, one can only conclude that the bare-assed incident is autobiographical.

No, George, I'm not imagining it.

I'm basing my conclusion on your statements. I cannot say that it is beyond any and all doubt 100% autobiographical; but I can say that it is so beyond a reasonable doubt. And beyond a reasonable doubt is all that the law requires for the jury to make base its verdict on.

0n Google search, the top definition of "paddled" is "to beat..."

[Michael Pendragon]

I've always felt that "paddled" had softer connotations than "beating" -- which, to some extent, it does. A beating is always going to be a brutal affair, whereas a paddling *could* just mean a light spanking with a flat, wooden object. It may be a regionalism (or just me), but a paddling just doesn't sound scary.

The difference between beating and paddle is a matter of semantics. He and George are both antisemantics.

As an authority on beating, this is a matter of semantics-- paddling is not always the same as "beating" in physical abuse of a child. To normal decent persons, padding/spanking is a minor use of physical force with a paddle or hand. A beating is with any other object and usually more than minor use of force.
Yes, you can be beaten with a paddle. But paddling isn't done with belts or tree branches like a whipping or with even more injurious objects. Most child abuse cases involve beatings, not paddlings.
From the context of Mr. Burrows statement, a person that can read half way proficiently would know that he didn't receive what he called a "beating."

And #Will_Dockery yet again making up baseless accusations...
If anyone is making shit up-- it's you. But then you possibly second handed all your canned one liner responses...
You thinking that you're liked and that your work is well received here is just as delusional then...
When you tell your so called friends that they don't have to correct simple errors like "and I and you" in their work, makes me suspicious of the quality of your work and whether you want your "friends" to actually succeed as poets...
After seeing that, I wouldn't trust you. Good thing I wasn't fooled by your "good guy" act.

You're the one who wants to argue with the dictionary, Robert.
