Please don't lie, Robert. You were given an answer in the thread where
you asked it:

"I asked everyone posting poetry on aapc for poems for /April/ magazine."

You may have not understood the answer, but that's no reason for you to
lie about whether you got an answer.

Robert seems to be having difficulty remembering things lately.

That is not an answer to Robert's question, George.

I ask everyone at AAPC to post poetry to the AYoS thread. However, since I believe that Will Donkey and his Stink are incapable of writing "a decent haiku or anything else," I make certain to exclude them from my invitation.

An editor would not want to publish poetry that he considered to be worthless, nor would he wish to have his magazine associated with poetry he considered to be worthless.

If you ask Jim for poetry, you must think that his poetry is good enough to appear in your magazine. Unless your magazine has no standards whatsoever, and publishes any garbage that is thrown at it, you would not solicit submissions from a writer whose talents were not up to a certain standard.

But we all know your m.o. You divide everyone into two categories: potential allies and potential adversaries. You slurp the writings of your potential allies and attack those of your potential adversaries. (Or, as you like to call it: "Tit for Tat.")

When Jim is seen as a potential ally, you request his poetry. When he is seen as an adversary, you assign a childish name to him and claim he can't write. Like most career politicians, you're half toady and half jackass. Which half shows itself depends on the "party" of the party being addressed.

Don't be such a whiner, Bobby Burro. You told a lie, and you got caught.
Suck it up.

First you claim to have asked Jim for a poem... now you claim that Robert was lying when he said you asked Jim for a poem.

If anyone got caught lying here, George, it's you.

So you didn't like the answer. That's no reason to lie and pretend
Robert didn't get an answer, either.

So you don't "ask everyone at AAPC" to post poetry to AYOS. Your first
sentence is a lie.

You can use whatever editorial standards you want in your own anthology.
My intent was to produce a representative sample of usenet poetry; I did
not exclude poets I didn't like.

That sounds like a paranoid rant, Michael. You shouldn't hit the booze
so early.

You told a lie and you got caught. If calling me names makes you feel

I didn't say that Robert didn't get a *response,* George.

I said that your response did no answer his question.

Words matter. Learn what they mean and how to use them correctly.

No, George. I ask everyone to post... with exceptions stipulated in small print.

AYoS has a similar purpose, and does not exclude *poets* I dislike.

It excludes *poetry* that would be an embarrassment for other poets to find included alongside their own.

Is that why you called Robert "Bobby Burro"?

Please don't lie, Michael. Before Bobby Burro started name-calling in
this thread, I was calling him "Robert" -- it's still in the backthread.

You're either lying or confused, Michael. First I did tell Bobby Burro,
in answer to his question, that I'd asked Jim (since I asked everyone)
for a poem ... now, I'm claimed that the Burro was lying when he said I
didn't give him that answer.

> If anyone got caught lying here, George, it's you.

Where's the lie, Michael?

You may not believe that I asked Jim for a poem, but it's a statement of
fact that Jim (unless he lies to you) will confirm.

Or you may not believe that the Burro was lying when he said I didn't
answer his question, but my answer is in the archives.

As previously noted:

First you claim to have asked Jim for a poem... now you claim that Robert was lying when he said you asked Jim for a poem.

It's got to be one or the other, George. You can't have it both ways.

If anyone got caught lying here, George, it's you.

It certainly did: he asked why I asked Jim for a poem. My "response"

If you're making 'exceptions' for the poets you don't like, then you're

Don't blame your decisions on "other poets", Michael. You're the editor,
not them. Maybe Jim did tell you not to exclude Will's poems, but that
it was you who excluded them, not him. Take some responsibility for your
actions.

And yours that you hit the booze early and make paranoid rants is

Since I'm in here to edit, I might as well edit that sentence, too.

"And my response, that you hit the booze early and make paranoid rants,

You lied when you said I was calling him "Bobby Burro" in this thread,
when I was calling him "Robert". Like him, you're trying to cover up
your lie by deflecting with a hissy fit.

Actually, Michael, you're full of shit.

Your first statement is true. Your second statement was a lie: I did not
"claim that Robert was lying when he said [I] asked Jim for a poem."

> If anyone got caught lying here, George, it's you.

Actually, Michael, it was Bobby Burro first, and now you.

I've already explained this to your, George.

As previously noted, it begs the question: Does your BBB magazine lack standards to the point that you would include poetry you deem worthless in it?

It may have been an answer... just not to Robert's question.

I don't know whose question it was an answer to. Are you hearing those strange voice in your head again?

Again, I direct you to read the fine print.

Everyone (with exceptions) ≠ Everyone.

No, George. My exclusion has nothing to do with my personal feelings regarding the Donkey and his Stink. I have excluded them for the following reasons:

1) They have shown themselves to be troll, and are no longer considered members of AAPC,
2) I would be embarrassed to have my poetry appear in any collection that would publish theirs,
3) Several AYoS contributors have informed me that they do not wish to see their poetry appearing in a publication alongside of the swill that they write.

When one's poetry is so terrible that other poets refuse to have their work appear alongside of it... it speaks volumes as to the quality of their work.

The Donkey and his Stink have been banned due to the consistent lack of quality in their work. They have not been banned because I dislike them as individuals.

Several of my contributors expressed this sentiment, George (myself included).

I rarely drink in the daytime George. And even if I were to start, it wouldn't change the fact that (like your fellow Splooges), you praise those you consider potential allies, and attack those you consider to be adversaries..

Robert has already added the missing comma, thereby establishing that he did not call you a name.

Please try to follow the conversation.
