Then how do you explain your mind-boggling levels of ignorance at the age of 64?

Speaking of mind-boggling ignorance, Michael Pendragon has plenty of it to spare:

"I'd simply burn the garbage churned out by no-talent phonies like Bukowski, Kerouac and Ginsberg." -Michael Pendragon

HTH and HAND.

I suggest you look up the meaning of "ignorance," Donkey.

You're misusing it... again.

No, this statement of yours is definitely ignorant, Pendragon:

How does his statement demonstrate ignorance? Be specific.

You obviously do not.

Why do you think H.C. is asking for you to explain how it applies?

When two or more people tell you that you're using a word incorrectly, it's a pretty safe bet that you are.

Your quote is about burning poetry, Pendragon.

I suspect more than two people would call that fantasy of yours ignorant.

HTH and HAND.

In which case, the two+ people would be as ignorant as yourself.

However, in the case of definitions, one needn't rely on the reactions of others -- that's why most writers consult dictionaries.

And, FYI, you have misused both "fantasy" and "ignorant" in a single sentence.

I didn't think it possible for you to misuse the word 'fantasy' with another word, but yet you did it anyway.
Congratulations on showcasing your ignorance on such a high level.

Please note that although it may well be inferred,
I did not specifically tell him that he was using the
word incorrectly. I simply asked for an explanation.

Please note that the two+ people need not necessarily
be as ignorant as he. They need only be stupid as fuck.

Again, what is in my opinion, an example of Michael Pendragon's ignorant fantasies of book burning:

I'd call that a mind-boggling, ignorant fantasy from Michael Pendragon.

I'll let others decide for themselves.

HTH and HAND.

I'd call it hyperbolic nincompoopery,
if nincompoopery was a real word, and
I wanted to challenge Michael's assertion.

Will can't handle two-syllable words, much less five-syllable ones.

I'm not trying to tell him what to say, or argue with you, but
I think "Hyperbolic nincompoopery" would sound very funny
coming from someone with no discernable sense of humor.

I know "book burning" mentality when I see it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_burning

"Book burning is the deliberate destruction by fire of books or other written materials, usually carried out in a public context. The burning of books represents an element of censorship and usually proceeds from a cultural, religious, or political opposition to the materials in question.[1] Book burning can be an act of contempt for the book's contents or author, and the act is intended to draw wider public attention to this opinion.

In other cases, such as the Nazi book burnings, copies of the destroyed books survive, but the instance of book burning becomes emblematic of a harsh and oppressive regime which is seeking to censor or silence some aspect of prevailing culture.

In modern times, other forms of media, such as phonograph records, video tapes, and CDs have also been burned, shredded, or crushed. Art destruction is related to book burning, both because it might have similar cultural, religious, or political connotations, and because in various historical cases, books and artworks were destroyed at the same time.

When the burning is widespread and systematic, destruction of books and media can become a significant component of cultural genocide..."

I agree. It's a wonderfully quaint and highly inventive phrase that adequately sums up the tongue-in-cheek style of many of my posts.

BTW: it would make a great subtitle for a book of light verse:

JESUS TOLD A FART JOKE
The Hyperbolic Noncompoopery of
J. Corey Hieronymous Connor

or

JESUS TOLD A FART JOKE
And Other Hyperbolic Noncompoopery

It was meant as a compliment. Speaking of books, I’m working on

Perhaps you should look up the meaning of the word perhaps.
