Dear Ellen,

Yes, I meant to type "friend." It was a typo. Sorry about that.

To Ellen...

Looks like he meant to type "friend." I hope you didn't ascrbe the typo "fiend" to me, for goddess's sake. He's having a bad hair day, for sure. I will be sure to thank the person who sent me a heads-up to this ill-tempered piece of bile from him. He has these temper fits every now and then, I have noticed.

Three words back:

Antipasto — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 21:40:17 GMT

"You're burned out." Yeah, Z-B, anyone over there who disagrees with you is a loon, or worse. It wasn't the world's greatest poem, for sure, but it wasn't half as bad as you've made it out to be. Heck, your post got the only Checkmark, why are you stilll kvetching about it, three days later? Take care, Z-B. A-o.

Bad Hair Day, S?

Antipasto — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 21:37:47 GMT

Good grief, S. calm down. I had no idea you were so lliteral. And there is a reason that people on the PFray give a heads-up to the guest poets about who is a good sort and known to us, or not. Never fear, Mr. Bad Temper, you're on your own. Ironically, Z-B. has not felt the need to write to me in this manner, I wonder why you feel so impelled? It is good to see you posting on the Poems Fray -- if Iam permitted, Your Highness, to say that much? Wonder why, if the "Schmutzele" bothered you so all-fired much, why haven't you ever mentioned it before this. One little mention is all it would have taken, and as for those two posters you were 'warned' about, you would do well to heed that advice, as many others would tell you, if they were not afraid to. Again, take care, A-p. p.s. as for your comments about Angel, shame on you. It is one thing not to care for her poems, that is your prerogative, although I clearly disagree with it but it is quite another to diss her personallly as yo uhave here. She is a vastly talented poet.

I'm ......a......"fiend"? If I'm that bad, I'd guess I'd better stop posting on the fray, I wouldn't want my fiendishness to become an epidemic or have a bad influence on the rest of the fraysters. GEE!

the ratings system ain't so bad...

Snolly G — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 19:54:02 GMT

lots of people are complaining about "abuse", but i really wonder about people who are so sensitive as to put much stock in a meager thumbs down. really, anyone who confuses the ratings system for anything other than a potentially useful toy may want to have their head examined.

but none of this is nearly as important as: are you ever going to open up your blog again?

Three Words & a P.S., Tempo:

Zeus-Boy — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 17:25:03 GMT

You're a loon.

P.S.

E. Jennings drivel masquerading as poetry got from me exactly the critique I thought it deserved.

P.S.,

Antipasto — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 16:25:30 GMT

Agree, E. Jennings was most genteel and rather tolerant with us, or some of us, who were less than genteel to his work -- at least at first.

Sorry, but ...

Antipasto — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 16:23:37 GMT

You may perceive your posts as being written one way, but let me tell you, Z-b, people read / perceive them as another. OK? And you may not have expressed any negativity on THIS thread, but as we both know, my friend, you've been flinging lots of it around over back home on the PFray. Please don't play naive or disingenuous with me, Wafter; I Fray-know you too well. "And that's a good thing," as Martha Stewart always says. Cheers, dear ! A-p.

Re: Antipasto:

Zeus-Boy — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 21:19:33 GMT

Actually, I thought it was quite humorous, which is why I mentioned it. And, I agree, he was most genteel.

The answer to your question is a decided, NO? There's no negativity here, unless you're bringing some. Are you?

Re: Antipasto:

Antipasto — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 20:03:22 GMT

He also said a lot of NICE things about you, Z-b. Is it a habit of yours to go the negative, my friend, even when positives are being thrown around, eh? I think E. Jennings has been tremendously gracious & an incredibly good sport, as both you & I posted over there. Yeah, "little does he know, indeed." :-)

Antipasto:

Zeus-Boy — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 18:27:04 GMT

Thanks for yours. I don't recommend junking the function. I'm just not going to use it myself.

Jennings called me an impious clown. Little does he know, eh?

Antipasto — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 17:14:02 GMT

Oh, that's a technical glitch. Seems to happen every 3-4 days or so. Could be your browser, maybe?

UPRATED for your third paragraph's

Antipasto — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 17:13:25 GMT

content and for the sheer, pure fun of it. Lighten UP, Wafter, this is not the end of the world as we know it. Lighten up, please.
