    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, Donkey.

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


    Again, that's a lie, Pendragon.

    It all begins when you, Jim Senetto and Nancy Gene decided to try to
    drive Stephan Pickering from the newsgroup.

    You have a short memory, Donkey. It began back in the early 2000s when
    you were annoying everyone with your ongoing tales of a pizza boi,
    calling yourself "Irony Waves" and discussing how black pussy tastes
    different from its Caucasian counterpart, starting flame wars with
    Karla, PJR, Michael Cooke, Dennis Hammes, and everyone else in the group
    at that time.

    As for the late, unlamented Pickles, you brought him into the group to
    replace me as your ally -- when I finally wised up and realized who the
    real trolls were.

    I initially attempted to draw Pickles into several conversations. After
    having ignored my first few attempts, he suddenly launched into one of
    his patented, incomprehensible tirades about Christian dupes, child molestation, etc.

    Pickle's only attempts at writing poetry, turned out to have been copied
    nearly verbatim from well known writers, changing only enough words to
    thwart any attempts to pull the originals up on a Google search.

    Pickles was an unwitting shill for you. You knew that his inflammatory outbursts would draw the negative attention away from you -- which is
    precisely why you brought him here.

    You're still trying to use him right here and now as a means of
    deflecting my fire.



    From there, you and your troll thug wannabe attempted and sometimes
    succeeded in driving other poets away from Usenet.

    I don't know who was responsible for driving the illiterate, formerly
    homeless redneck known as Vinyl Cat from the group, but she brought that
    on herself. (Details provided in other threads.) As with Pickles,
    you're still using her to deflect fire from yourself.

    But then tossing friends under the bus has always been the Donkey way.


    All that ended with the demise of Google Groups apparently, and if you
    guys are happy with Facebook, go for it.

    Happy? I'm downright thrilled. Out year end issue is chock full of top
    notch poetry, color artwork, and award-winning poets. We had an amazing
    year, with contributions from Scott Thomas, Louise Webster, Bruce
    Boston, Robert Cabeen, Carlos Deleon, Jefferson Carter, Ruth Housman,
    Trinity Venter, and other established poets gracing our pages.


    Meanwhile, the Usenet newsgroup AAPC continues and will continue, and hopefully will grow during 2025.

    Right... over the past 12 months, you've grown from approximately 12
    members to 3. Kudos.


    You and George not only launched threads attacking Bobby, but created
    similar threads attacking everyone who wasn't a member of your "team."


    Actually, you, Nancy Gene and Jim Senetto were doing that as far back as 2017.

    It seems now that you're trying to misrepresent and lie about what
    happened.

    The truth is in the archives.

    And you'd been doing it as far back as 2002.



    I originally came to this group to promote my just-published poetry
    collection in 2010. At that time, AAPC was a wasteland -- much as it is
    today, only the dozens of spam posts advertising drugs have been
    replaced by dozens of spam posts of Stinky G slurping your poetry.

    I returned a few years later when the spam quotient had drastically been
    reduced, and when there seemed to be more than two members (you and
    George, of course) desperately in search of a conversation.

    I came here to post and discuss poetry.

    Same here.

    Unfortunately, the atmosphere was so toxic, that I was forced to pick a
    side in an ongoing flame war, which proved to be a colossal waste of
    time.

    Since you lost the flavor war, right.


    I'm sorry, Donkey, but I've no recollection of this "flavor war."
    Please remind me as to which flavor I supported (I'm guessing vanilla,
    pumpkin spice, or pistachio) and which flavor (or flavors) won out over
    it.


    Because I realized what Usenet AAPC *could* become, I stuck around and
    did my best to create a much more attractive atmosphere that would
    attract, rather than repel, poets.

    You did your best to drive some poets away, Pendragon.

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

    Why do you keep repeating the same old whines, Donkey?

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

    That was by your choice, Pendragon.

    It was a last ditch attempt to bring you to the table, Donkey.

    When it was just you annoying everyone, we had nothing to bargain with.

    Once you were starting to get attacked in return, we had something to
    bargain with.


    When Google Groups pulled the plug, it seemed like the perfect
    opportunity to create a group

    Sure, if you can't take Usenet then it's probably a good idea to go elsewhere, yes.

    We could take Usenet, Donkey. It's you that none of us could stand.


    You drove Robert away

    Absolutely untrue.

    The archives show this, and Robert Burrows himself can verify this essay true.

    Is Robert here? No.

    Is Jim here? No.

    Is NancyGene here? No.

    Is anyone here? No.

    Only a Donkey and his socks.

    And AAPC is once again a wasteland.

    Rather than the battleground you turned it into, Pendragon.

    It takes two to have a battle, Mr. Dum.


    It's just you here

    There's also George Dance, Zod, Jordy and Rachel, to name a few.

    Zod and Jordy are your socks. Rachel drops by occasionally. It's
    basically you and George Dance -- just like it was the last time you
    drove everyone away in 2010.


    2025 will be a year of rebuilding Usenet after you and your gang of
    troll thug wannabe tried to destroy it, Pendragon.

    And so it goes.

    Riiiiiight.


    More on this later, time to walk my dog.

    I hadn't seen any posts from Stinky George lately. Glad to hear he's
    doing okay.

    And you'd been doing it as far back as 2002.

    You did your best to drive some poets away, Pendragon.

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

    Why do you keep repeating the same old whines, Donkey?

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

    That was by your choice, Pendragon.

    It was a last ditch attempt to bring you to the table, Donkey.

    We could take Usenet, Donkey. It's you that none of us could stand. >>>>>>

    You drove Robert away

    Absolutely untrue.

    The archives show this, and Robert Burrows himself can verify this essay
    true.

    Is Robert here? No.

    Is Jim here? No.

    Is NancyGene here? No.

    Is anyone here? No.

    Only a Donkey and his socks.

    And AAPC is once again a wasteland.

    Rather than the battleground you turned it into, Pendragon.

    It takes two to have a battle, Mr. Dum.


    It's just you here

    There's also George Dance, Zod, Jordy and Rachel, to name a few.

    Zod and Jordy are your socks. Rachel drops by occasionally. It's >>>>>> basically you and George Dance -- just like it was the last time you >>>>>> drove everyone away in 2010.


    2025 will be a year of rebuilding Usenet after you and your gang of >>>>>>> troll thug wannabe tried to destroy it, Pendragon.

    And so it goes.

    Riiiiiight.


    More on this later, time to walk my dog.

    No, not really.

    Whatever. Just be sure you bring along your poop scooper and doggie doo

    Have you showed your gang the JLA Forums?

    No one wants to come back here, Donkey.

    We all prefer to post in a non-toxic, Donkey fre environment.
