typos in aggregate to suggest that they could perhaps be
found in every other sentence of mine. Nora knew what
a phony little scheme that was, because "Palmer 'Peals'
Peevish Leak A" (my original article about Nora under
that newgroup line) contained about thousand words of
mine, and one or two typos, if any at all. Going through
thousands of words by a writer, gleaning a few typos,
and reposting the typos in a cluster is just plain
dishonest. I pointed that out to Nora; hence her
angry tone here.]

That's a not-so-clever attempt to turn things
topsy-turvy, Nora. The fact was, those sentences
with the typos that Raoul posted (and you reposted)
were only "applicable to what Raoul was saying"
because he decided to go hunting for my relatively
rare (when I am fairly compared with other USENET
writers who post roughly the same amount of text
during the same general time frame) typos. Raoul
posted a few isolated phrases from various lengthy
articles of mine for the sole reason that those
word groups had typos. Those phrases had absolutley
no bearing on anything else Raoul and I had
discussed, so your remark is rejected as being
dishonest, Nora.

I have yet to hear you point out anything in the
twenty thousand words I posted last week as an
example of something that would be recognized
as "ineptness" by any reasonable person using
traditional standards of judging writing, Nora.

>I "clustered" nothing, PseudoPedantWannabe.
You obviously are clueless here, Nora; probably
intentionally so. My principle is this: When
someone repeats an insult or a stupidity about
me from an article by another poster--I hold
the "repeater" as responsible as the one who
wrote the slur in the first place--providing
the "repeater" did not repost the insult in
order to decry it. Technically, yes, Raoul--
and not you--gleaned and clustered the typos,
but since you reposted his tissue of
dissimulation in a manner that made it
clear you agreed with him--I flamed you.
In other posts, I had already indicated
Raoul's devious typo-pouncing stupidities.

Again I repeat, when you echo someone else's
imbecilic affronts to me, and you do so without
decrying the foul behavior of the original writer--
I hold you just as responsible as the heel who
wrote the original article and YOU WILL
BE FLAMED. Don't bother to give me the old,
"I was just repeating what 'X' said,". If
what 'X' said contained a slur, and you
simply repeated it, you share responsibility.
If you can't handle that, I would suggest that
you don't repost other peoples' tripe about
me, Ms. Peal. You will note (above) that
I said you "gave credence" to Xemblinosky's
post. You did so by reposting it in a manner
that suggested you approved of what he said.
Earlier I had asked Raoul an incisive

Again, you try to wriggle, Nora. You reposted
the baboon's vile buffoonery; you put yourself
in his very lowly category and you were flamed
for it. Stop trying to wriggle out with this,
"Gee, I was only repeating Raoul, " phoniness.
I know that some posters will let people get
away with that kind of thing--I won't, though.

Oh, sure Nora. I know YOU are awed with the "great
intellect" that is able to pounce on rare typos and
cluster them in one post to suggest that they were
perhaps typical of every word or two of the article
our "Venerable Bede" was "following-up". On top of
that, those typos actually came from SEVERAL posts so
his deviousness was even more pronounced. You clearly
resent being put in the same malodorous bag with
Xemblinosky, but the truth is your put yourself there
when you reposted his sleazy little jest without
roundly condemning it.

A few hundred words later, Raoul came up with
this one:

Well, you've got two charred hides there--by

Ah, yes, your phony little "challenge", Nora.
How could I ever forget that? In fact, I commented
on it in "Palmer 'Peals' Peevish Leak". What's
important is that any such contest be fair. That
means, first we agree on the poetic form. Then
I give you a subject; and you give me a subject.
None of this dusting off old shit that's been
polished 300 times by now. Further, we need a
more neutral audience, such as rec.arts.poems--
and no one who posts to the above groups will
be allowed to vote. Don't think for an instant
you can use your palsy-walsys to rig the contest.
Yes, I'll be glad to take your challenge, but if
you have noticed what has happened to the hide of
the Woofster (see "Woof Busted Stacking Deck" and
"Has 'Card-Sharp' Mutt Pulled Stakes") you have
seen that I'm not a person who sits down to play
in someone's rigged game.
