It's never good to give in to impatience; a moment's reflection tells me that
using the expression "sit around writing poems" contemptuously is a rather
spectacularly crass thing for someone who supposedly values the activity of
writing poems to do. "Babykillers" I guess is an echo of what folklore tells
me people used to shout at returning Vietnam veterans; factually correct in
some cases there too, but not constructive. All in all, though, I'm sorry
both for what I said and how I said it.
