Of course I'm a sad miserable troll; it's an illness, but you're the disease. So, again, why do you feel like you're fit to judge the writing of others?Toasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239283385268255066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705212129043604002.post-23696826644428878292008-08-08T00:45:00.000-07:002008-08-08T00:45:00.000-07:00Ah, yes, the "why do you comment on others' writin...Ah, yes, the "why do you comment on others' writing when your own is so poor?" ploy, also known more infamously as the "when did you stop beating your wife?" line.<BR/><BR/>Which naturally brings up a question of mine: are you a prosecution lawyer releasing pent up bile from his soulless twelve hour a day court sentence? <BR/><BR/>But then that would mean revealing a part of yourself, wouldn't it? You're much safer hurling rocks, and then cowering, unseen, behind your cybertree.<BR/><BR/>The sourness of your blog is depressing, the initial writing of it (I imagine) somewhat akin to spreading (before ingesting) dung on your toast, mistakenly thinking it was peanut butter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705212129043604002.post-11436583318997633482008-08-06T09:28:00.000-07:002008-08-06T09:28:00.000-07:00It's a genuine question, Brain: why do you feel au...It's a genuine question, Brain: why do you feel authorized to pass judgment on other writers when your own prose is so very awful? It is. It's ghastly.

Your admirable cynicism, in an ironical call to attention, is charming (though vacuous), sort of like a 5 year-old who doesn't get his way when the adults don't laugh at his antics.<BR/><BR/> Maybe in a future incarnation you'll have the courage to paste your real name for the world to see. After all, if you're going to be the "saver of literature and perspective" from those laughably inflated blogs, the least you could do is include your optative droppings-for-posterity into the mix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705212129043604002.post-78717451097904759232008-08-05T23:07:00.000-07:002008-08-05T23:07:00.000-07:00Jeeze, I really did miss that finer irony.

You missed the finer irony.
