"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it."

Stupid Mail
There's not enough to him to make a moron, there's barely enough to make a cautionary lesson. Update: The (in)sincerest form of flattery? Just now, looking to see what Simps might be saying about me, I find he's cribbing me at Duncan's.
Hey Schmucko -- just got back from seeing Spike Lee's Klan movie, which is a masterpiece. Plus it's just about totally historically accurate, but because they invented a love interest for the protagonist, you obviously will dismiss it as a betrayal of reality and thus responsible for the election of Trump.
Stupy, I was amused, not surprised or offended. Only, it's tacky to crib someone and not give credit, especially on the same Eschaton thread where you diss the person you're plagiarizing. You copy everything, though I'm surprised you noticed the quality of what you stole from here.
You expect that to bother me but it doesn't. I can give it where it's not wanted or I can withhold it with a clear conscience. Though, let me break this to you, your not valuing my approval never mattered at all to me.
What a weird idea, that I was supposed to have a Simelsian level of ego that I'd imagine my approval was vital to someone else.
That's not so much a mixed metaphor as a stupid botched one.
Echidne paid me the compliment of asking me to write for her blog and she's one of the most impressive writers of English in the Eschaton related bloggers. Considering it's a second language for her, I'd rather have even that level of approval than gushing superlatives from La Simels.
"Echidne paid me the compliment of asking me to write for her blog "
Get me a contemporary quote from her saying she hasn't regretted the decision to let you pollute her blog. Until then, shut your anti-Semitic illiterate piehole.
First you diss me, then you plagaraize me, then you lie about me, I think you should try to install a defrager Simps, it might be able to do something about your complete lack of integrity.
Of course, if she had regretted it at any point she could have asked me to discontinue, which she never did, even as I was probably the most controversial of the people she had writing for her. Phila and Suzie and Echidne and various others she had writing for her, I don't recall any of them regretting the association with me. The absence of regrets on her part means the strongest evidence is that she didn't regret it. I notice she didn't ask you to write for her, old pro that you are.
No one else but you has ever accused me of anti-semitism. There's a reason for that, too. Two of them, you're a liar and I'm not.
And yet, some refer to him as POTUS. Present company excluded.
ReplyDeleteHim too. But I was talking about a troll.

ReplyDeleteYeah, this one.
DeleteSparky and "free" speech: Nut, blind squirrel. He was also right about that Dukas piano sonata.

DeleteOh, and Dukas's Sonata had the approval of Debussy and a line of very great pianists who played it. It hardly needs my approval.
DeleteNobody WANTS your approval, Schmucko.
Delete:-)

ReplyDeleteTo paraphrase Dr. Johnson, assuming it's not apocryphal -- nobody but an idiot ever wrote for any other reason save for the approval of somebody else.
Which is why I love you, Sparkles. Not only have you never gotten paid for writing, you've never been even complimented for writing. :-)
