And George joined you and your Stink in making jokes about it.

But even after laughing at NancyGene, George goes on to make the same mistake.

When it comes to colossal f**kups, even you've got to admit that's one of the biggest.

Also about Robert F. Stillings, who apparently went with John Dunne to Ireland looking for London.

You have it backwards again, Ash...

It is Nancy G. and Pen who continue to harp over minor errors....

Get your facts straight, little fellow...!

One just has to look at your so called "facts" and the case would be closed fairly quick, in extreme prejudice against you.
And what is your countless posts, including the one above for five months over a typo five months ago-- is that your "real" poetry? So sWill's calling out about laming over typos is just hypocrisy then. NOTED
Oh I forgot, you and your ass opinion buddies are the only "real" poetry here. Compared to an overwhelming majority of your posts here, I would be on level with an actual poet. And that's quite an accomplishment since I don't claim to be a poet.
You have no justifiable grounds to stand on. You do everything that you say is wrong. You are not a victim and you fully deserve the consequences that your tee for tee strategy fails to foresee. And from my perch upon the dakhma , I shall cackle, bemused.

Sorry, I just have to laugh at you so called "real" poets and Usenet vets. This never ending vicious cycle of tee for tee is not serving you nor your foes very well. But it serves me so well...

Get some principles before claiming to be a decent human or in the right, you cannot criticize some one for what you do as well...
What are you two Fundies? You don't have some special exemption. You cannot go do what you say is wrong but then condemn others- unless you two think you're Trumps of this dump of yours.

Funny, you might have that partially right-- Those 'misrepresentations' as you dismiss them as, are yours and Will's actual words that you snipped out to hide from everyone.

Are you that dumb or Trump brazen to say I'm making up posts from you and Zod (with links to the actual post)?
This is proof that you know you can get away with lies and misrepresentations- by you saying that posts from you were made up.

Will's been using that line several times a day for the past year or so. He must have heard it used in some tv show and second-handed it.
