Aha I get it it’s you Kent Johnson!! Newland J-who else could send such a stuffy reply Good to have you back Patrick your fan devolved into resentment and cynicism From: British & Irish poets [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of nieuwland jeroen Sent: 15 April 2010 12:52 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: poetry a reality hit in middle east What a paranoid question to ask if Nieuwland Jeroen exists. Yes of course I exist and the name is Jeroen and what does it matter who I am? I just don't see the need for people to insult each other, especially on a Poetics list where other people get to read along. I too think Kent Johnson rocks, and I'm all for goof-droids, most poets would fall under that category anyway. I resent resentment is all. I think direct, harsh criticism is important, but that it can also be voiced in an affirmative way and just think it's a shame that instead a lot of energy by a lot of intelligent people often devolves into resentment and cynicism. Ciao, Jeroen _____ From: Patrick McManus <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Thu, April 15, 2010 10:56:48 AM Subject: Re: poetry a reality hit in middle east I resent this slur on goof-droids-apologise at once! and who is nieuwland jeroen?does he exist?? And now if I insult everyone we could close this thread before mighty flame wars break out reminds me weakly of the good old Glory days with dear kent Johnson bless him forever Patrick President of the league of goof-balls P love and peace it's sunny outthere! -----Original Message----- From: British & Irish poets [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Side Sent: 15 April 2010 01:46 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: poetry a reality hit in middle east It may be, but Judy started the personal abuse by repeatedly calling me a goof-droid--whatever that is--for no reason whatsoever, other than that she was having a bad day. I?m willing to let the matter rest, as I said in an earlier post. If Judy and Robin also let it rest, we can shake hands and forget it. Original Message: All this is rather disheartening.
