Let us analyze Rob's findings. . .
(1) "Complacent": How can he make such an assumption
not knowing the real me nor my habits?
For his information, I'm rarely satisfied with anything
I write and have changed poems even after they had
been published which is not considered ethical and
poets have been ticked off for doing the same.
(2) "arsehole": What serious offence have I committed
to deserve this tag? Have I robbed him of money or
his reputation -- threatened him in some way?
I hadn't even known that he was around until he
addressed me (angrily) advising me to take note
of Gamble's criticism and to follow it!
If that wasn't an insult to any thinking person!
(3) What does he mean by "pedestrian scribblings"?
That I scribble poetry while walking the streets or
that I write with my feet?
(4) Who, but he, has butchered my verse in the last couple
of years?
As I've said before, few poems, whether published or not,
are beyond criticism. I'm always interested in comments
because another's viewpoint can be of help for future
"pedestrian scribblings".
Unfortunately, that is not the trolls' agenda.

It stretches credibility to imagine that anyone can be as hopelessly
stupid as you choose to portray yourself.

and not just in the last couple of years.

Please continue to demonstrate what a spectacularly clueless moron you
are.
Thank you in advance.
Dear me, dear me, Gary Gamble) is still
around, buzzing here buzzing there
just a blowfly getting nowhere. . .
(Not terribly witty
but it's only a two-minute ditty).

And you, Gamble, keep adding to your list of misused
words: There was "illiterate", "demonstrate", now "butchered".
How can I present and butcher a poem in one go?
That could only be done by a second draft butchering the first.
You are no wordsmith, Gamble! Stop misguiding young
writers!
Vera
>How can I present and butcher a poem in one go?
You seem to manage; you tell us how you do it.
>You are no wordsmith, Gamble!
Now, that's the funniest fucken thing you've ever written!
Moron.

"I'm familiar with Eliot's verse. Boring!"
