    Well, yeah, but that's no way to welcome a new contributor to RAP. Let's welcome Mr. Burrows for gracing us with his "poetry".

    He's left and returned many times, and, yes, often Robert has been quite friendly.

    So it goes.

    Problem is that Robert never seems to have time to try to write poetry, he's too busy trolling.

    HTH and HAND.

    Whatever happened to Bobby Burrows?

    Same thing that happened to everyone else from Usenet AAPC: you drove
    him away, and he switched to The Official AAPC Group on FB.

    He has a lot of great poems scheduled to appear in our year-end print
    volume, coming soon to an Amazon.com near you.

    You and your fellow thug trolls ran Robert off?

    No surprise there but either way good riddance.

    And so it goes.

    You don't make any sense, illogical Donkey.

    If my fellow thugs and I ran Robert out of the group, why would he join
    us over at the Official AACP Group on FB?

    And how stupid can you be to claim that I ran him off, directly beneath
    a "poem" George Dance wrote about "Bobby Burro" -- and in a thread
    titled "Re: Bobby Burro" that George Dance started.

    It should be obvious even to a dyed in the wool jackass like yourself
    that George Dance played a major role in driving Robert out of the
    group.

    It's rather amusing to see the Lime sock flame a two-year-old poem, just
    a few weeks after he was flaming me for responding on a thread that old.
    But please don't laugh at him or call him a hypocrite - obviously that
    darn "context" must have changed again.

    Who wrote "A silly young burro named Bobby..." that you've inadvertently quoted above?

    All you have to do is look at the top of the thread, MMP. You're flaming
    my limerick, that I wrote two years ago.

    HINT: It wasn't me.

    Of course it wasn't. You can't be expected you to be able to 'squeeze'
    your poetic thoughts into a form as short as a limerick. You'd have
    written a sprawling mess like "Slurp Puppet" about him.

    SECOND HINT: It wasn't one of my "thugs."

    Obviously not. Neither Jim now NG have shown any ability to write even
    as simple a form as a limerick, even though they've both been shown how
    more than once.

    THIRD HINT: It was the same a-hole who started this "Re: Bobby Burro"
    thread.

    D'uh! Of course when I posted this limerick I started this thread.
    That's how it works on Usenet: If you post a poem here as an OP, you're starting a thread; those are the same action, not two different ones.

    Care to take a wild guess as to who drove Robert off of this group?

    If you seriously think that he left the group because I wrote a limerick
    about him, then I guess you think I "drove Robert off the group." But I
    doubt that even you think he's that much of a snowflake that he'd run
    away to facebook just because someone wrote a limerick about him.

    Now it's my turn to ask a question: WHY are you flaming a poem I wrote
    and posted two years ago? How do you think your actions here are any
    different from mine in the thread where you were doing your "Jerk Store" laming?

    I haven't seen him since google stopped supporting Usenet. Since he's
    one member of the Bandar-Log who can post on facebook, it's reasonable
    to think he followed Team Monkey to their facebook group and he's
    posting there.

    There's nothing inadvertent about it, this is the thread that was
    created for that poem.

    HTH and HAND.

    I'd forgotten how unbelievably stupid you actually are, Donkey.

    Both this thread and the poem it was created for provide the obvious
    answers for why Robert left this group.

    Who wrote "A silly young burro named Bobby..." that you've inadvertently

    All you have to do is look at the top of the thread, MMP. You're flaming
    my limerick, that I wrote two years ago.

    You really don't get the concept of a rhetorical question, do you,
    George?


    HINT: It wasn't me.

    Of course it wasn't. You can't be expected you to be able to 'squeeze'
    your poetic thoughts into a form as short as a limerick. You'd have
    written a sprawling mess like "Slurp Puppet" about him.

    I'll assume that you mean that I'd never have written it.


    SECOND HINT: It wasn't one of my "thugs."

    Obviously not. Neither Jim now NG have shown any ability to write even
    as simple a form as a limerick, even though they've both been shown how
    more than once.

    I actually have written limericks here, George. It's a fairly easy form
    to master.

    THIRD HINT: It was the same a-hole who started this "Re: Bobby Burro"
    thread.

    D'uh! Of course when I posted this limerick I started this thread.
    That's how it works on Usenet: If you post a poem here as an OP, you're starting a thread; those are the same action, not two different ones.

    I'm glad to hear you admit it, George.

    Now kindly admit that it was threads like this one, attacking Mr.
    Burrows, that drove him away from the group.


    Care to take a wild guess as to who drove Robert off of this group?

    If you seriously think that he left the group because I wrote a limerick about him, then I guess you think I "drove Robert off the group." But I
    doubt that even you think he's that much of a snowflake that he'd run
    away to facebook just because someone wrote a limerick about him.

    This particular limerick? No.

    What soured him on the group were your disgusting comments regarding his undergoing a bone marrow transplant.


    Now it's my turn to ask a question: WHY are you flaming a poem I wrote
    and posted two years ago? How do you think your actions here are any different from mine in the thread where you were doing your "Jerk Store" laming?

    Why don't you ask your Donkey? He's the one who necroposted it.

    Same thing that happened to everyone else from Usenet AAPC

    You and your fellow thug trolls ran Robert off?

    No surprise there but either way good riddance.

    And so it goes.

    You don't make any sense, illogical Donkey.

    If my fellow thugs and I ran Robert out of the group, why would he join
    us over at the Official AACP Group on FB?

    And how stupid can you be to claim that I ran him off, directly beneath
    a "poem" George Dance wrote about "Bobby Burro" -- and in a thread
    titled "Re: Bobby Burro" that George Dance started.

    It should be obvious even to a dyed in the wool jackass like yourself
    that George Dance played a major role in driving Robert out of the
    group.

    --

    No, Robert had a chip on his shoulder for a long time, he left by his
    own choice.

    And so it goes.

    Of course he chose to leave, Donkey.

    We all chose to leave, Donkey.

    We all had the choice to post and discuss poetry in a Donkey-free
    environment, and we took it.

    Why are you pretending I ever tried to conceal it?

    I'm rather proud of that limerick. It's a good character study, which

    his name, and is applicable to other people who've posted here, I

    No one drove him off the group, Paranoid Peabrain. He continued posting

    Exactly.

    THE SHITHOLEVILLE MYTHOS: Ode to My Slurp-puppet was a group effort, and
    holds the distinction of having beat out Penny's Plagiarized Hat as the
    longest Usenet poem.

    It never purported to be a work of art, but it did contain a strikingly

    I'll assume that you mean that I'd never have written it.

    Plus Jim Senetto doesn't seem to understand how to post on a real Usenet newsgroup.

    Why are you trolling Jim, Donkey? He's no longer participating in this
    group.

    THIRD HINT: It was the same a-hole who started this "Re: Bobby Burro"

    Nailed that one.

    Of course there was never any question as to who wrote the limerick and
    started the thread.

    The rhetorical question was meant to point out that it was George Dance launching attack threads like this one who drove Robert out of the
    group.

    I'm glad to hear you admit it, George.

    Now kindly admit that it was threads like this one, attacking Mr.
    Burrows, that drove him away from the group.

    As I pointed out before, Robert Burrows always initiated the hostility.

    Unfortunately, Robert Burrows can dish it out but he obviously can't
    take it.

    He was certainly in no condition to take George Dance's reprehensible
    remarks while receiving a bone marrow transplant.

    Seriously, Donkey, WTF is wrong with you?


    Care to take a wild guess as to who drove Robert off of this group?

    Robert Burrows obviously left by his own choice.

    He was only here to flame me and George anyway, he wasn't here for the poetry.

    In other words, good riddance to z Bobby Burro.

    Funny how Robert has been participating in the Official AAPC FB Group
    (the one George Dance was unceremoniously kicked out of). There's no GD
    there for him to troll. Funny as well that he's written and posted a
    large number of poetry there, and has appeared in each and every one of
    our Year End print issues.

    He obviously *is* in our group for the poetry, and *not* to troll a no-longer-existent George Dance.


    If you seriously think that he left the group because I wrote a limerick >>> about him, then I guess you think I "drove Robert off the group." But I
    doubt that even you think he's that much of a snowflake that he'd run

    Again, you nailed it.

    This particular limerick? No.

    What soured him on the group were your disgusting comments regarding his
    undergoing a bone marrow transplant.


    Now it's my turn to ask a question: WHY are you flaming a poem I wrote
    and posted two years ago? How do you think your actions here are any
    different from mine in the thread where you were doing your "Jerk Store" >>> laming?

    Because Michael Pendragon is a lying delusional fuckwit?

    Butthurt much, Donkey?

    Just a guess.

    Why don't you ask

    He's asking you, green monkey boy.

    Why can't you give George an honest answer?

    Right, because Michael Pendragon is a lying delusional hypocrite.

    And so it goes.

    Sure looks like Butthurt from here.

    Are you trying to "assume" you don't write sprawling messes like "Slurp Puppet"? You've previously admitted that you and your NG flunkie
    co-wrote it.

    I had diplomatically pointed out what appears to be a typo in your post, George. You wrote:

    "You can't be expected you to be able to 'squeeze'your poetic thoughts
    into a form as short as a limerick. You'd have written a sprawling mess
    like 'Slurp Puppet' about him."

    It appeared that you'd intended to write:

    "You can't be expected you to be able to 'squeeze'your poetic thoughts
    into a form as short as a limerick. Had you that ability, you'd never
    have written a sprawling mess like 'Slurp Puppet' about him."

    As to "THE SHITHOLEVILLE MYTHOS: Ode to My Slurp-puppet," I quite proud
    to claim my part in it. It's a hilarious, witty, and inventive group
    poem (although mostly NancyGene and myself) which holds the record for
    being the longest Usenet poem (having beaten out "Penny's Plagiarized
    Hat."



    SECOND HINT: It wasn't one of my "thugs."

    Obviously not. Neither Jim now NG have shown any ability to write even
    as simple a form as a limerick, even though they've both been shown how

    I actually have written limericks here, George. It's a fairly easy form
    to master.


    Who said you hadn't, Peabrain?


    I was merely pointing it out, George.

    For several years (here), I'd said that I couldn't write a limerick,
    however, when I finally gave it a try, I found that it was surprisingly
    easy.

    THIRD HINT: It was the same a-hole who started this "Re: Bobby Burro"
    thread.

    D'uh! Of course when I posted this limerick I started this thread.
    That's how it works on Usenet: If you post a poem here as an OP, you're

    I'm rather proud of that limerick. It's a good character study, which describes his behavior to a T, in just five lines. Since it doesn't use
    his name, and is applicable to other people who've posted here, I
    actually think it's worth going into print next time I publish a book of poems.

    I was referring to the larger spectrum, George. By admitting that you'd started a thread specifically to mock Robert Burrows with a limerick
    you'd written about him, you are tacitly admitting that it was you who'd attempted to drive him off.


    Now kindly admit that it was threads like this one, attacking Mr.
    Burrows, that drove him away from the group.

    No one drove him off the group, Paranoid Peabrain. He continued posting
    here for two more years, up till the final month of google support.

    Is he here now?

    Many of us stuck it out here until the demise of Google Groups. We then
    had a choice: switch to a free Newsreader (Novabbs was relatively simple
    to sign up to), or go over to FB.

    Why do you think Robert, NancyGene, Jim, ME, Ash, Corey, Karen,
    Wenceslas, Richard, and I chose to go to Facebook?

    RHETORICAL QUESTION ALERT!

    The answer, of course, is obvious. We wanted to be able to post in a non-combative, friendly atmosphere where the local children wouldn't
    call flood the group with spam posts and call us by childish names (like
    Bobby Burro).


    Care to take a wild guess as to who drove Robert off of this group?

    If you seriously think that he left the group because I wrote a limerick >>> about him, then I guess you think I "drove Robert off the group." But I
    doubt that even you think he's that much of a snowflake that he'd run
    away to facebook just because someone wrote a limerick about him.

    This particular limerick? No.

    What soured him on the group were your disgusting comments regarding his
    undergoing a bone marrow transplant.

    So he "soured" on the group - Well, boo-hoo. That's no reason for you to pretend that he was driven off.

    When the actions of a group of people (in this case, Will Donkey,
    "Jordy," Stinky George, and yourself) cause someone to "sour" on the
    group (especially by opening attack threads about them), they have
    effectively driven them away.

    I'm sure you pretend that you and Donkey (socks inclusive) didn't drive
    me away, but that's exactly what you did.

    When you make your presence as welcome as excrement, you are driving
    people away... the non-coprophiliacs, at any rate.

    Now it's my turn to ask a question: WHY are you flaming a poem I wrote
    and posted two years ago? How do you think your actions here are any
    different from mine in the thread where you were doing your "Jerk Store" >>> laming?

    Why don't you ask your Donkey? He's the one who necroposted it.

    He "necroposted" the thread you were flaming me about for replying too, Michael Monkey Peabrain. Once again: why did you decide to do the same
    thing you were previously complaining about my doing?

    I haven't flamed your poem, George. I haven't discussed it at all --
    apart from pointing out that it was one of the many things you did here
    to drive Robert away.

    Your limerick isn't funny (which is the most important thing for a
    successful limerick to be). It isn't witty, and certainly isn't
    profound. In fact, I can't imagine any reason for writing or posting
    it, apart from the opportunity it afforded you to indulge in your
    favorite pasttime of childish name-calling.

    That's how it works on Usenet: If you post a poem here as an OP, you're >>>>> starting a thread; those are the same action, not two different ones.

    Nailed that one.

    Of course there was never any question as to who wrote the limerick and
    started the thread.

    Right.

    The rhetorical question was meant to point out that it was George Dance
    launching attack threads

    Calm down, it was just a poem.

    It's the perfect illustration of the mind-boggling depths of your
    stupidity. To wit: you choose a thread which your buddy George Dance
    started solely for the purpose of attacking Robert Burrows, in which to
    claim that I and my "thugs" drove him out of the group.

    Classic.


    like this one who drove Robert out of the
    group.

    Like you and your thugs drove Melissa Cheshire, Mack and Antti Loude
    from the newsgroup?

    Melissa Vinyl Cat Chesire brought it on herself. She was a non-poet
    friend of yours from the Columbus area who you recruited to protect you
    from all the "malicious trolls" who were ganging up on you. She
    introduced herself to the group, not by saying "Hi, I'm Melissa. I love poetry, and want to try my hand at writing a poem. I hope we can all
    become friends and you can give me the constructive criticism I need."
    Instead, she came on saying something to the effect of "Y'all may be
    attacking my friend Will, but you ain't a gonna be pushin' me around.
    I'm a badass motherfucker cause I've been raped! I can kick all yer
    butts with one hand tied behind my back. I'm Vinyl Cat, dammit! BRING
    IT ON!!!"

    So we did.

    As to Antti Loude, he was a certified looney from Switzerland (or one of
    those places), who was living in government provided housing (free of
    charge) while awaiting a brain operation (can you say "lobotomy"?).
    Antti declared a personal vendetta against me. Not because of anything
    I said to him (I was, as always, polite), but because he didn't like the
    way I was treating Stinky George. Apparently, he identified with Stinky George, as he would also be homeless if he lived in the U.S. Antti "discovered" my secret identity as "Michelangelo Scarlotti" (courtesy of
    an old Wikipedia article that I had penned), and exposed my true
    identity to the group. Needless to say, I was devastated. Fortunately,
    Antti left the group shortly afterwards (and before he could uncover
    such embarrassing personal facts as my love of Indian food and that I
    drive a PT Cruiser).

    Antti at least attempted to write some poetry. But his efforts were embarrassingly bad.

    Their decision to leave the group was doubtless to everyone's benefit.

    Like how you and your thugs tried to drive Zod, Stephan Pickering,
    Rachel and Jordy from the group?

    No one tried to drive Rachel from the group. The most I ever did was to attempt to place a moritorium on "Bob Dylan" related posts. I did this
    for her benefit, as I believe her obsession with him is extremely
    unhealthy.

    I consider Rachel to be a friend, and was impressed by a few of her (non-Bob-rant) poems -- and told her as much.

    Stinky George and Jordy are trolls of the lowest sort, and should have
    been driven off. They flooded the group with OT nonsense to such an
    extent that they made you seem almost decent by comparison. Of course
    that's probably *why* you brought them here.

    As to Pickles, he was the most delusional psychopath I've ever met.
    And, FWIW, I didn't attempt to drive him away. I attempted to kill him
    with one of my own personal Karma bombs. Thank the gods, it proved to
    be a success!

    If these people are representative of the quality of "poets" you hope to interact with, you should have started your own Short Bus Club.

    I'm glad to hear you admit it, George.

    Now kindly admit that it was threads like this one, attacking Mr.
    Burrows, that drove him away from the group.

    As I pointed out before, Robert Burrows always initiated the hostility.

    Check out the archives, this has always been true.

    He's never said anything even remotely hostile at the Official AAPC FB
    Group.


    Unfortunately, Robert Burrows can dish it out but he obviously can't
    take it.

    He was certainly in no condition to take

    He never was, if my memory serves me well.

    Robert Burrows has always been one of those who can fish it out but
    can't seem to take it


    Again with the fish?

    You've got fish on the brain, Donkey. Or... what passes for one.


    George Dance's reprehensible
    remarks while receiving a bone marrow transplant.

    Hopefully you didn't cast a sickness spell on him, Pendragon.

    Why should I? I like Robert and his poetry.

    Seriously

    Seriously, troll much, Pendragon?

    Not in a long time, Donkey. There are no undesirable elements to weed
    out at the Official AAPC FB Group.

    Care to take a wild guess as to who drove Robert off of this group?

    Robert Burrows obviously left by his own choice.

    Robert Burrows was only here to troll, anyway.

    Yet he writes wonderful poetry for the Official AAPC FB Group.


    He was only here to flame me and George anyway, he wasn't here for the
    poetry.

    In other words, good riddance to Bobby Burro.

    Funny how Robert has been

    Wherever he's at, good riddance.


    Butthurt much, Donkey?

    *not* to troll
    George Dance.

    And, again, good riddance.

    Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? I thought you and George Dance were pals.

    For the first time in years work can begin to rebuild AAPC.

    LOL! Usenet AAPC is dead, Donkey.

    You've had it all to yourself for a year now, and what have you done?

    If you seriously think that he left the group because I wrote a limerick >>>>> about him, then I guess you think I "drove Robert off the group." But I >>>>> doubt that even you think he's that much of a snowflake that he'd run >>>>> away to facebook just because someone wrote a limerick about him.

    Again, you nailed it.

    This particular limerick? No.

    What soured him on the group were your disgusting comments regarding his >>>> undergoing a bone marrow transplant.


    Now it's my turn to ask a question: WHY are you flaming a poem I wrote >>>>> and posted two years ago? How do you think your actions here are any >>>>> different from mine in the thread where you were doing your "Jerk Store" >>>>> laming?

    Because Michael Pendragon is a lying delusional fuckwit?

    Butthurt

    Try Preparation H.

    🙂

    Just a guess.

    Why don't you ask

    He's asking you, green monkey boy.

    Why can't you give George an honest answer?

    Right, because Michael Pendragon is a lying delusional hypocrite.

    And so it goes.

    Sure looks like Butthurt

    I suspect that you need an eye exam, green monkey boy.

    🙂

    And you need to contact a good proctologist.

    There's no one left here, Will. You've driven them all away.

    Stop lying, Pendragon.

    It was you and your troll thugs who decided to begin running everyone
    away from the newsgroup.

    But you're Michael Pendragon, lying seems to be second nature for you,
    as does second handing.

    And so it goes.

    Then how do you explain the fact that everyone we've supposedly driven
    off is now a member of our Official AAPC FB group?

    If a group of "troll thugs" drive you out of one group, it doesn't make
    any sense for them to join the "troll thugs" in another.

    Is Melissa Cheshire a member of your Facebook group?

    Is Antti Loude a member of your Facebook group?

    Is Rachel a member of your Facebook group?

    Is Mack a member of your Facebook group?

    Is Peter J Ross a member of your Facebook group?

    If Robert Burrows was "driven away" then so were all of the above.

    HTH and HAND, again.

    There's no "relevance" to your opening a new thread, Donkey. You
    "moved" the conversation because you came off looking like a jackass in original one.

    You haven't even got the sense to change the title of the discussion to
    one that isn't a blatant, and childish attack, upon one of the previous members.

    You've driven everyone away, Donkey.

    AAPC is supposed to be a place for discussing poetry. You flooded it
    with slurp-posts, "Hello Jordy" posts, and started innumerable flame
    wars -- creating a toxic atmosphere that no one wanted any part of.

    Now everyone (who isn't one of your socks) has left the group and moved
    over to the Official AAPC FB page. This Group has also attracted many established poets -- and will hopefully continue to do so.

    You, otoh, are sitting here all alone with your drawer of assorted
    socks. Pity.

    I love Robert's poetry, and am proud to have featured it in all of our

    Your "poetry," otoh, has accurately been described as "unspeakable
    shit."

    Only one out of three lines you pen is a complete sentence, and only one

    Your "poetry" is incompetent swill. Your self-inflated attitude renders
    your swill unintentionally hilarious.

    IOW: It's amusing to point out the grammatical errors and garbled

    You and your fellow thug trolls ran Robert off?

    You don't make any sense, illogical Donkey.

    If my fellow thugs and I ran Robert out of the group, why would he join

    And how stupid can you be to claim that I ran him off, directly beneath
    a "poem" George Dance wrote about "Bobby Burro" -- and in a thread
    titled "Re: Bobby Burro" that George Dance started.

    It should be obvious even to a dyed in the wool jackass like yourself
    that George Dance played a major role in driving Robert out of the
    group.

    --

    No, Robert had a chip on his shoulder for a long time, he left by his
    own choice.

    And so it goes.

    Damn, Donkey! You're still confusing "driving out of" with "barring partricipation in."

    They are two very different things.

    You drove everyone from AAPC (everyone but George Dance, that is) away
    from AAPC at least twice in the 25 or so years that you've been here.

    Of course we all had a choice in the matter.

    You merely made everyone so sick of your execrable presence, that we
    wanted nothing more than to get as far away from you as possible.

    Remember when you got caught trying to pass off a Leonard Cohen poem as
    your own?

    Remember when you stole PJR's poem, changed the title from "Batty's Hat"
    to "Betty's Hat," added additional colors (that her hat wasn't) to PJR's
    list, and claimed that the poem was your own original creation?

    Remember when you asked to post poetry by Jim, Corey, and myself in your
    blog -- then refused to take it down after it had been posted there (and
    thus kept out of circulation) for several years?

    We do.

    And Jim stole your post about your drunken meanderings, called it
    "Shambles," recast it in poetry form.

    And Michael Cooke stole your Karma Bombs, re-edited it to something
    approaching coherence, set it to music and made it into a video.

    Poor little illiterate Donkey -- everybody's always stealing your
    "unspeakable shit," and making it somewhat more readable.

    Besides the content, this is a poorly written limerick.

    I'm sure even Pendragon would agree with that observation.

    And so it goes.


    This is a response to the post seen at:
    http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=660668223#660668223

    1) It isn't a limerick

    Obviously not.


    2) You left off the last two lines.

    I quoted all that appeared in the post.

    "A silly old fool named Dance
    Once again pulled down his pants
    No one expressed any shock
    At the smallness of his c*ck
    Or the fuzziness of his thoughts
    Since he cannot connect the dots"

    --

    Okay, did you write the last two lines or did Robert Burrows?

    I copied and pasted the complete poem, Donkey. If you'd bothered to
    look at the thread you posted a link to, you would know this.

    He has a lot of great poems

    Why do you lie so much, Pendragon?

    Robert Burrows is a terrible poet most of his poetry is actually William >>> Burroughs style cut up work, using the poetry of others.

    Good point. I remember when he got caught doing that here.

    And Jim stole (and titled) your "Shambles" post, and Michael Cooke stole

    Poor little Donkey. It seems like everybody wants to get in on the

    Same thing that happened to everyone else from Usenet AAPC: you drove

    No one drove your online friend Bobby away, Lime sock. He stopped
    posting here when Google shut down its web portal to aapc; rather than

    He has a lot of great poems scheduled to appear in our year-end print

    Georgie Porgy was a cowardly boy who kissed (molested) the girls when

    So in your garbled version of the nursery rhyme, your friend is the
    "girl" whom I was "molesting" and you're the "boy" who's trying to
    protect her by driving me away. All the more reason to call her "Lucy
    Burrows."

    I should have thought you'd have understood the analogy immediately.

    Like most of your analogies they make no sense. You complained about me "molesting" Lucy Burrows when she was here, and now you're complaining
    about me "molesting" her even after she's run away.

    Then again, as Nietzsche would say: "He who fraternizes too long with
    Donkeys becomes a Donkey himself." (No doubt you'll accuse me of
    misquoting Nietzsche as well.)

    I'm sure you're mistranslating; but if you can't remember a simple

    Let's not forget that Robert Burrows came back with poetry of his own.

    So it can be noted that Burrows didn't just go away crying.

    No one is saying that he did

    You portrayed Robert Burrows as a butt hurt victim.

    intentionally created a toxic atmosphere here, which ended up
    driving *everyone* away.

    That's exactly what you, Jim Senetto and Nancy Gene did, correct.

    Wrong.

    I attempted (time and again) to create and maintain a harmonious
    environment here.

    I proposed several "treaties" designed to curtail the fighting here, and
    begged NancyGene, Jim, George, and you to agree to them.

    You were always the sole holdout.

    You and George not only launched threads attacking Bobby,

    No, that never happened.

    The title of this thread is "Re Bobby Burro / gjd."

    How can you possibly claim that you've never launched an attack thread
    against him?

    Why do you lie and misrepresent so much, Michael Pendragon?

    The title of this thread, and the attribution to "gjd" (George J. Dance)
    prove my statement, Donkey.


    but created
    similar threads attacking everyone who wasn't a member of your "team."

    No, again, that's the tactic you, Jim Senetto and Nancy Gene used for
    years.

    Wrong.

    You continually bowed out of my proposed treaties because you claimed
    that since you were the only one making 50 posts a day, the treaties
    weren't making any concessions to you in return.

    You counter-proposed that you would continue to bury the group in
    spam-posts, but would refrain from name-calling, etc., if we did the
    same.

    Since we were primarily interested in cutting down on your spam posts
    (and couldn't care less about the names you called us), we viewed your counter-proposal as a demand for unconditional surrender (which, I
    maintain, is precisely what it was).

    We therefore needed to start annoying you as much as (or, preferably,
    more than) you were annoying us. That, and only that, would provide us
    with a much-needed bargaining chip.

    Thus, we created threads like "THE SHITHOLEVILLE MYTHOS: Ode to My Slurp-puppet" -- which would have been more than enough to make any
    normal person ready and willing to *bargain* for peace.

    Unfortunately, we just didn't know how idiotically stubborn a Donkey
    could be.


    I came here to post and discuss poetry.

    Which, of course, is the purpose of this newsgroup.


    Unfortunately, the toxicity here only worsened, to the point at which it
    sank into an all-out state of no-hold-barred warfare.

    Instigated by you, Jim Senetto and Nancy Gene, of course.

    Wrong. The archives show that a toxic atmosphere existed long before my arrival.


    You drove Robert away

    Not at all.

    Again, Robert left by his own choice.

    Perhaps he'll return, perhaps not.

    Again, that's his choice.

    And so it goes.

    Again, *choice* has noting to do with it, Donkey.

    You don't understand even basic level English.

    You created a toxic atmosphere here which drove *everyone* away. Even
    George Dance has said that he is only showing up here because these
    posts are cross-posted to RAP (which is where he now hangs out).

    You turned a poetry group into a place to swap insults (similar to Jim's
    "War Room" which was an attempt to limit the animosity to a single
    thread).

    In doing so, you drove everyone away, Myself included.

    Speaking of which, this conversation is becoming exceedingly boring. I
    shall therefore abandon you to your socks until the next time I decide
    to drop by.

    Toodles.

    Who wrote "A silly young burro named Bobby..." that you've inadvertently >>>>> quoted above?

    All you have to do is look at the top of the thread, MMP. You're flaming >>>> my limerick, that I wrote two years ago.

    You really don't get the concept of a rhetorical question, do you,
    George?

    HINT: It wasn't me.

    Of course it wasn't. You can't be expected you to be able to 'squeeze' >>>> your poetic thoughts into a form as short as a limerick. You'd have
    written a sprawling mess like "Slurp Puppet" about him.

    I'll assume that you mean that I'd never have written it.

    Are you trying to "assume" you don't write sprawling messes like "Slurp
    Puppet"? You've previously admitted that you and your NG flunkie
    co-wrote it.

    I had diplomatically pointed out what appears to be a typo in your post, George. You wrote:

    "You can't be expected you to be able to 'squeeze'your poetic thoughts
    into a form as short as a limerick. You'd have written a sprawling mess
    like 'Slurp Puppet' about him."

    It appeared that you'd intended to write:

    "You can't be expected you to be able to 'squeeze'your poetic thoughts
    into a form as short as a limerick. Had you that ability, you'd never
    have written a sprawling mess like 'Slurp Puppet' about him."

    Then you misunderstand what I wrote. I meant to write what I wrote: that
    if you were flaming Robert, you'd have written a sprawling mess about
    him; just as you did with Will and then with Jordy. No typos.

    As to "THE SHITHOLEVILLE MYTHOS: Ode to My Slurp-puppet," I quite proud
    to claim my part in it. It's a hilarious, witty, and inventive group
    poem (although mostly NancyGene and myself) which holds the record for
    being the longest Usenet poem (having beaten out "Penny's Plagiarized
    Hat."

    I'm glad you're proud of it. It is your signature work, the one that I
    hope you'll be known to posterity for. Ny only complaint is that one
    cannot put your real name (or NG's, FTM) on it as yet.


    SECOND HINT: It wasn't one of my "thugs."

    Obviously not. Neither Jim now NG have shown any ability to write even >>>> as simple a form as a limerick, even though they've both been shown how >>>> more than once.

    I actually have written limericks here, George. It's a fairly easy form >>> to master.

    Who said you hadn't, Peabrain?

    I was merely pointing it out, George.

    See above. You misunderstand my earlier comment, and thought I was
    saying you didn't have the ability to write a limerick.

    For several years (here), I'd said that I couldn't write a limerick,
    however, when I finally gave it a try, I found that it was surprisingly
    easy.

    Most poetic forms are easy, when one makes the effort to learn them. The
    major reason for not learning one is stupidity (willful ignorance).


    THIRD HINT: It was the same a-hole who started this "Re: Bobby Burro" >>>>> thread.

    D'uh! Of course when I posted this limerick I started this thread.
    That's how it works on Usenet: If you post a poem here as an OP, you're >>>> starting a thread; those are the same action, not two different ones.

    I'm glad to hear you admit it, George.

    Why are you pretending I ever tried to conceal it?

    I'm rather proud of that limerick. It's a good character study, which
    describes his behavior to a T, in just five lines. Since it doesn't use
    his name, and is applicable to other people who've posted here, I
    actually think it's worth going into print next time I publish a book of
    poems.

    I was referring to the larger spectrum, George. By admitting that you'd started a thread specifically to mock Robert Burrows with a limerick
    you'd written about him, you are tacitly admitting that it was you who'd attempted to drive him off.

    What a stupid inference on your part. I started a new thread to post a
    new poem, because that is how one posts a new poem. If I'd thought that
    mocking him in a poem would drive him away - well, TBH, I wouldn't have
    given a fuck. But it never crossed my mind that he'd run away because
    someone wrote a limerick about him.

    Now kindly admit that it was threads like this one, attacking Mr.
    Burrows, that drove him away from the group.

    No one drove him off the group, Paranoid Peabrain. He continued posting
    here for two more years, up till the final month of google support.

    Is he here now?

    No. Do we still have google support now? No. He left because google
    closed its usenet portal, as I've already stated at least once in this
    thread.

    Many of us stuck it out here until the demise of Google Groups. We then
    had a choice: switch to a free Newsreader (Novabbs was relatively simple
    to sign up to), or go over to FB.

    If you "stuck it out here" then you were not driven off. You can


    Why do you think Robert, NancyGene, Jim, ME, Ash, Corey, Karen,
    Wenceslas, Richard, and I chose to go to Facebook?

    RHETORICAL QUESTION ALERT!

    too bad. If you ask a question, especially a compound question like
    that, you can expect a reply. Three n that list were Team Monkey (you,
    JIm, and NG) three were Bandar-Log (Robert, ME, and Ash) and one was a
    wannabe (Corey). I'll let you speak for them, but I'll note that only
    Corey left before google pulled the plug. As for the other three - Karen
    (who left aapc after flaming from ME and Dink drove her out), Richard,
    and Wenceslas (whom I don't remember, period), I've got to say I don't
    know. Maybe they believed that your "Official Notice" that aapc had
    moved to facebook really was an "Official Notice". In any case since
    they're neither Team Monkey nor Bandar-Log, you do not speak for them.

    The answer, of course, is obvious. We wanted to be able to post in a non-combative, friendly atmosphere where the local children wouldn't
    call flood the group with spam posts and call us by childish names (like Bobby Burro).

    Give those last three my email: georgedance04@yahoo.ca. If I hear from
    any of them that they left aapc because of my "Bobby Burro" limerick, or because they thought I was mean to the poor Burro in general, then I'll
    believe it.

    Care to take a wild guess as to who drove Robert off of this group?

    If you seriously think that he left the group because I wrote a limerick >>>> about him, then I guess you think I "drove Robert off the group." But I >>>> doubt that even you think he's that much of a snowflake that he'd run
    away to facebook just because someone wrote a limerick about him.

    This particular limerick? No.

    What soured him on the group were your disgusting comments regarding his >>> undergoing a bone marrow transplant.

    So he "soured" on the group - Well, boo-hoo. That's no reason for you to
    pretend that he was driven off.

    When the actions of a group of people (in this case, Will Donkey,
    "Jordy," Stinky George, and yourself) cause someone to "sour" on the
    group (especially by opening attack threads about them), they have effectively driven them away.

    No, that's not true at all. If someone sours on the group, they usually
    stay here and troll. Once again, Team Monkey et al left because they
    could no longer post on google, plain and simple.

    I'm sure you pretend that you and Donkey (socks inclusive) didn't drive
    me away, but that's exactly what you did.

    Of course we didn't drive you away. You stopped posting here because you
    had no way to post; as soon as you got one, you were back under a new
    sock.

    When you make your presence as welcome as excrement, you are driving
    people away... the non-coprophiliacs, at any rate.

    Now it's my turn to ask a question: WHY are you flaming a poem I wrote >>>> and posted two years ago? How do you think your actions here are any
    different from mine in the thread where you were doing your "Jerk Store" >>>> laming?

    Why don't you ask your Donkey? He's the one who necroposted it.

    He "necroposted" the thread you were flaming me about for replying too,
    Michael Monkey Peabrain. Once again: why did you decide to do the same
    thing you were previously complaining about my doing?

    I haven't flamed your poem, George. I haven't discussed it at all --
    apart from pointing out that it was one of the many things you did here
    to drive Robert away.

    Your limerick isn't funny (which is the most important thing for a
    successful limerick to be). It isn't witty, and certainly isn't
    profound. In fact, I can't imagine any reason for writing or posting
    it, apart from the opportunity it afforded you to indulge in your
    favorite pasttime of childish name-calling.

    As noted, our senses of humor are completely different. You think that
    if you call someone a "pedophile" or a "retard" that's funny or witty.
    (Witness your comments on your "Slurp Puppet" above.

    As for 'profundity', I'll repeat that it was a very incisive portrait of
    a type that I've encountered here repeatedly: the person who tries to
    fit into a writing group, not by demonstrating any good writing of his
    own, but by adopting an attitude of superiority to put down others'
    writing. (Note that when I say "others' writing" I am not referring to
    my own writing.)

    Such remains the case.

    I'm still not clear as to where the idea that I was flaming Robert ever
    came from, but... whatever.

    As to "THE SHITHOLEVILLE MYTHOS: Ode to My Slurp-puppet," I quite proud
    to claim my part in it. It's a hilarious, witty, and inventive group
    poem (although mostly NancyGene and myself) which holds the record for

    Most poetic forms are easy, when one makes the effort to learn them. The major reason for not learning one is stupidity (willful ignorance).

    Agreed. It is easy to learn and master a form. It requires talent,

    given a fuck. But it never crossed my mind that he'd run away because
    someone wrote a limerick about him.

    Not as stupid as your claim that you never once thought your starting a
    "Bobby Burro" thread, in which you would show off your Bobby Burro
    limerick, with the intention of provoking, harassing, and/or mocking
    Robert Burrows.


    Now kindly admit that it was threads like this one, attacking Mr.
    Burrows, that drove him away from the group.

    No one drove him off the group, Paranoid Peabrain. He continued posting
    here for two more years, up till the final month of google support.

    Is he here now?

    No. Do we still have google support now? No. He left because google
    closed its usenet portal, as I've already stated at least once in this thread.

    In my MIA thread, I'd posed the following scenario:

    Imagine that you have a nine to five job in the city. Each morning you
    wake up, brush your teeth, shave, shower, apply deodorant, iron your
    clothes, dress, comb your hair, and top it off with an unobtrusive dash
    of cologne.

    Being conscientious by nature, you opt to take public transportation (in
    this particular story, a bus).

    One day a "smelly old bum... (who) hasn't showered in a year" (to borrow
    the words of a Weird Al Yankovic song) sits down beside you.

    You are both physically and emotionally repulsed by his presence, are
    afraid that his filth (and its adherent stench) is rubbing off on your
    nice fresh outfit, and you suspect that he is harboring colonies of
    fleas, lice, bedbugs, and various sorts of deadly bacteria which you are
    scared of picking up.

    However, you are also a considerate person, so you swallow your mounting nausea, hold your breath, and subject yourself to the ride.

    Unfortunately, no good deed, as they say, ever goes unpunished. Your consideration toward the pissbum, has made him desirous of having you as
    his traveling companion for all future commutes. He therefore makes a
    beeline for you whenever he sees an empty seat beside you on the bus.

    After several weeks of this, you have reached a point where you dread
    having to get on the bus. So when a co-worker from a neighboring town
    offers you the opportunity carpool, you jump at the chance.

    Now the question: Did the bum drive you off the bus, or was it merely a "choice" on your part?


    Many of us stuck it out here until the demise of Google Groups. We then
    had a choice: switch to a free Newsreader (Novabbs was relatively simple
    to sign up to), or go over to FB.

    If you "stuck it out here" then you were not driven off. You can

    .. until we no longer stuck it out here. At that point (according to
    your argument) we would, in fact, have been driven off.

    Why do you think Robert, NancyGene, Jim, ME, Ash, Corey, Karen,
    Wenceslas, Richard, and I chose to go to Facebook?

    RHETORICAL QUESTION ALERT!

    too bad. If you ask a question, especially a compound question like
    that, you can expect a reply.

    I do expect a reply, George. I'm just making it clear that my question
    comes with a preconceived *point* that I'd like you to address.


    Three n that list were Team Monkey (you,
    JIm, and NG) three were Bandar-Log (Robert, ME, and Ash) and one was a wannabe (Corey). I'll let you speak for them, but I'll note that only
    Corey left before google pulled the plug. As for the other three - Karen
    (who left aapc after flaming from ME and Dink drove her out), Richard,
    and Wenceslas (whom I don't remember, period), I've got to say I don't
    know. Maybe they believed that your "Official Notice" that aapc had
    moved to facebook really was an "Official Notice". In any case since
    they're neither Team Monkey nor Bandar-Log, you do not speak for them.

    I'm not speaking for anyone, George. I'm merely reporting the facts.

    They used to post here. Now they post on the FB Group.

    They obviously left here, to post somewhere else.

    Draw your own conclusion.


    The answer, of course, is obvious. We wanted to be able to post in a
    non-combative, friendly atmosphere where the local children wouldn't
    call flood the group with spam posts and call us by childish names (like
    Bobby Burro).

    Give those last three my email: georgedance04@yahoo.ca. If I hear from
    any of them that they left aapc because of my "Bobby Burro" limerick, or because they thought I was mean to the poor Burro in general, then I'll believe it.

    It wasn't the one limerick, George. It was the combined total of 100s
    of such attack posts that drove everyone away.

    There are no Donkeys, Monkeys, Chimps, Nazis, Dunces, Piggies, Dinks,
    etc., there.

    People come to poetry groups to post and discuss poetry.

    They have simply chosen the Official AAPC FB Group's friendly
    environment over the toxically hostile environment that has always
    existed here.

    The real question you should be asking yourself is *why has Usenet AAPC
    been unable to create/maintain a friendly atmosphere*?

    I feel the answer is obvious. But it's something that you'll need to
    figure out for yourself.

    Of course we didn't drive you away. You stopped posting here because you
    had no way to post; as soon as you got one, you were back under a new
    sock.

    As noted above: I shall be dropping by sporadically from here on in. If
    I see anything that needs correcting, I will do so at that time.

    If I don't see anything in need of correction, I shall leave without
    starting any new threads.

    This if my final post for today -- and, consequently for this visit.

    There was so much more to "Slurp-puppet" than that, George. But you'd
    actually have to read the poem to realize it.

    As for 'profundity', I'll repeat that it was a very incisive portrait of
    a type that I've encountered here repeatedly: the person who tries to
    fit into a writing group, not by demonstrating any good writing of his
    own, but by adopting an attitude of superiority to put down others'
    writing. (Note that when I say "others' writing" I am not referring to
    my own writing.)

    The proof is in the pudding, George.

    I do not put down anyone's work at the Official AAPC FB Group.

    Both there, and here, I have offered constructive criticism -- and have
    always been grateful upon receiving said in return.

    People looked forward to my critiques on the "Sampler" poems, and
    repeatedly told me as much. Some, like your Donkey, often begged me to
    review their work.

    I like to think that my comments have been helpful to them -- as their
    comments have most certainly been helpful to me.

    As to Will Donkey's poetry, you may recall that I'd avoided commenting
    on it for the first year or so that I was here (and Will's ally). It
    was only after having watched one of his videos that I was able to do
    so. I noted then, that I had refrained from commenting on Will's
    poetry, because I found it incomprehensible (read "terrible"), but that
    it works quite well as a song lyric -- particularly for a 3am, drunk off
    your ass in a barroom audience. I still hold that position today.

    If I were drunk off my ass in a bar at 3am and Will Donkey and his
    karaoke band were performing, I'd find the music perfect for both the
    moment and the milieu. His sentence fragments and often
    incomprehensible narratives work as a 3am song lyric. They don't work
    as poetry.

    IOW: Rather than assuming a lofty attitude and belittling Will's poetry,
    I waited until I had found a way in which I could appreciate it *before* commenting. And, even though we aren't speaking about your poetry, I'd
    adopted a similar approach with you.

    None of us are successful poets. We're all actively engaged in better understanding, and working to improve, our craft. Correction: those of
    us you refer to as "Team Monkey" feel that way.

    The truth is (and some very old threads that NancyGene resurrected have demonstrated this in no uncertain terms) that you and your Donkey have
    never been able to accept any form of criticism regarding your work --
    and have responded to even well-intentioned, constructive criticism with childish insults and "Tit for Tat" "revenge critiques."

    And *that* is the reason why AAPC died: in or around 2010 (and probably
    several times before), and last year.

    Not that it really matters at this point. After all, the only people
    still coming her are Will Donkey and his socks.

    He has a lot of great poems

    Why do you lie so much, Pendragon?
    Lying Michael has a reputarion to uphold.

    Robert Burrows is a terrible poet most of his poetry is actually William >>> Burroughs style cut up work, using the poetry of others.

    Good point. I remember when he got caught doing that here.

    Sometimes Bob Burrows would use an entire poem, just turn the lines backwards, same written lines but switched around.

    I've no idea whether you're just talking out of the side of your face
    again, because I wasn't there.

    I can only tell you that Bob posted several original poems to AAPC (The Official Group) this months, and they're all top-quality, original
    works. One in particular, is gut-wrenchingly powerful.

    I strongly suggest that you open up a fake FB account that allows you to
    read the AAPC Group page. You're too clueless for words.

    No, it still exists, obviously, since here we are.

    Wrong, Donkey. You and George are still here.

    Wrong, Michael Monkey. You and Will are still there. I'm still here in
    RAP, one of the groups you're crossposting to.

    I'm only dropping by for a visit, George.

    Usenet AAPC is more of a newsduo.

    There's also Jordy, Zod, Rachel with David Dalton and others dropping by
    from time to time.

    Not a large group but a solid core group.

    Yep; aapc is now the Monkey and the Donkey, just as Karen Tellefsen
    predicted two years ago:
    quote
    Monkey Shines

    Round this newsgroup's sorry remains
    the monkey mocked the donkey.
    The monkey though himself quite the wag,
    and donkey a fine target.

    A penny for a silly verse,
    A nickel for an insult.
    That's how Usenet went downhill.
    Don't troll the donkey.
    /q

    Again, it has only been Monkey-Donkey for a few days

    I'm sure Zod, Jordy and Rachel will be posting again shortly, the snow
    and fires might have distracted them.

    You've already been playing it for a month, and I expect you'll still be
    playing it a month from now. How time flies when you're having fun!

    I have already said my goodbye

    Okay, best of luck and good riddance, again.



    If only we could be sure he'd leave. That was the problem with the
    Monkey Cage (as I used to call his "Usenet version" of AYOS) - we'd stay
    out of it, but they would not stay in. I really hoped that, after they
    moved the Cage over to Facebook, they would stay there; but we can't
    trust them to do that, either.


    All Usenet conversations eventually reach a point whereat the discussion
    becomes repetitive; and I'm afraid that such has become the case with
    this one.

    Out of courtesy, I shall respond to this post, and any others you might
    have made in the interim; after which I shall be taking my leave.

    I shall be dropping by again at some future date -- but precisely when
    is anybody's guess.

    Almost perfect second hand of Peter J. Ross.





    😏

    All of the group's members got fed up with you and George and left.
    They've all relocated to the Official AAPC Group on FB.

    Wrong, Michael Monkey. Your online friends left aapc for your facebook
    group because they couldn't post to usenet after google stopped
    supporting it.

    It took a couple of attempts for my NovaBBS account to go through, but
    once it did, I have been able to post (as you can see).

    So what? We're discussing why your online friends left aapc, not whether
    they can return or not.

    That's what I've been attempting to explain

    No explanation required.

    Usenet newsgroups exist for those with an interest in using them.

    The others *could* have switched over to a Newsreader, had they chosen
    to do so.

    I doubt any of them knew how to use a Newsreader at the time, either
    (except Cujo de Sockpuppet, of course). No reason they should, of
    course.

    It's not rocket science, George.

    Yet people like Nancy Gene and Jim Senetto never seemed to understand
    that there's more than Google Groups happening here.

    In fact, it's little different than using Google Groups.

    And didn't you claim that Jim was posting here as late as November 2024
    (i.e., post-Google Groups)?

    I think Google Groups renamed in operation until February 2024.






    You're back where you were 15 years ago when I first came here: alone
    with George Dance and desperate for company.

    No, that's another lie, Lying Michael. There were plenty of people
    posting on aapc 15 years ago, and even 10 years ago when you actually
    began posting there, including more than one of your online friends.

    And I expect there will be again, now that Michael Pendragon and his
    gang of troll thugs are gone.

    As previously noted: when I first posted here in 2010, I stayed for
    several days. At that time, there was only you, your Donkey, and a ton
    of spam for Vicodin and Viagra.

    No, Laying Michael. I don't have a full list of people posting there in
    aapc, but I do remember it included at least two of your online friends
    now on your facebook page - your Chimp, and Corey Conman. So give it up.

    Yes, J. Corey Connor has posted here for over twenty years, and Jim
    Senetto was posting as far back as 2007 or so, under his Blackpool Jimmy
    alias.



    Of course as their online friend the Lime sock would know that. But as
    you say he lies and misrepresents about anything.


    As I said, I had only checked out the group for a few days. It is
    possible that Corey and Jim were elsewhere at that time.

    Both Corry and Senetto came and went frequently, but they were well
    known regulars.

    I don't recall Jim being around until several years after I'd returned
    to the group in 2014 (I'll take your word as to that date).

    Blackpool Jimmy was definitely around 2007-2009 and we were friendly
    during those years.

    Theoretically, there could have been "plenty" of others posting here who
    had all decided to take a few days off... however, the overwhelming
    number of spam posts is usually indicative of a group that has become
    stagnant.

    Every public group, on usenet or facebook attracts spam posts; IME,
    high-traffic groups attract more of it (because high traffic means more
    potential customers). The only way to eliminate it is to control who can
    post, which is not possible in an alt. group like aapc.

    That has not been my experience, George. The alt.50s group rarely
    received that sort of spam because when they did, it was immediately
    reported. The 50s group had a much larger membership than AAPC.

    Not in the heyday of a.a.p.c.



    As far as I remember, no one reported spam here; we "skipped and
    ignored" it in those days.


    OTOH, various sites that had gone out of use, had become dumping grounds
    for spam. IMHO, AAPC was well on its way to becoming one of those
    dumping grounds.


    Your lie doesn't even make sense; if there wree only two people posting
    on aapc, then who was supposedly getting "fed up" with them?

    Exactly.

    There was Gray Gamble, JRS, Karla Rogers, Tom Bishop, Cook...



    Tom died in 2007. (I just looked it up on PPP; a great asset.)


    The list of regulars of that era is long.

    Are you really that dense, George?

    Back to your childish insults already, Pendragon?



    Does he ever stop?


    When I first came here in 2010, had just driven all of the
    others away.

    That's absurd, not to mention a blatant lie.

    Will did not "drive away" either your Chimp or the Conman, as noted.
    Neither did he drive away "PJR" and his assorted trolls, who were still
    here until about 2016 or so. As I told you, you were trying to rewrite
    history; give is up.

    Why does Michael Pendragon lie and misrepresent so much?



    As I said a while back, I think it comes from being abused as a child.
    Which reminds me; that thread's been sitting without any activity for a while.


    I can only assume that they were the "regulars" PJR was
    always referring to, but who were long gone when I started posting
    regularly in 2015.

    Since Piggy Ross was referring to them, he obviously had not been
    "driven away" even by 2014 (when you actually began posting), either.

    Please stop with the childish name-calling

    Look who's talking.

    😏

    In 2014, Peter Ross only dropped by the group sporadically. When he did
    so (and only when he did so), other posters would suddenly materialize
    to take part in the conversations he'd initiate (Horatio, Gwyneth, Cujo,
    Aratzio, etc.).

    The impression I received was that the group had dwindled down to three
    regularly posting members: Will, Corey, and you; and that PJR was a
    former member who would arrive out of nowhere with an entourage -- and
    depart just as suddenly with them in tow.

    Yes, and it wouldn't surprise me to see PJR back here at any time.

    Nor was his online friend Gary Gamble (who was posting under a different
    sock), nor his flunkie Cujo de Sockpuppet, It was a pretty lively list
    in those days. There were lots of people on aapc, both in 2010 and in
    2014.

    AFAIK, Gary Gamble never posted here since I've been around.

    Gary Gamble used another name for the last years he posted here.

    George Dance might remember the moniker GG used at the end, I don't,
    right now.



    "Generic". I used to call him "The Generic Troll."

    And so it was.



    Wel put, George.
