    Thanks again for catching that, NancyGene, glad that you have those
    academic credentials to catch my mistake.

    I'm also glad you finally learned who John Donne was, rather than
    thinking he was "John Dunne," NancyGene.

    Something you actually learned right here from a non-academic of all
    people.

    Heh, heh, Port of Mack a Damia. He was no more a poet (or port) than
    his dog. He was another flunky you brought to AAPC to support you.

    It was Mack A. Damia who made up the nickname "NastyGoon" for NancyGene.
    Prior to that I'd been using "NastyGene" (see my old song for that)
    while Stephen Pickering used to call them "NaziGene" because of how they targeted the Jews (him mainly, but also Rachel and Ilya.

    NastyGoon was a member of Team Monkey, which included Michael Monkey
    (now aka as "HarryLime" or HarryLiar) and Chimp Obsesso (Jim Senetto,
    under a dozen different nyms). these three claimed to be the "Majority"
    of aapc and claimed the right to run it. They believed a conspiracy
    theory that their imagined enemies (Team Donkey) were recruiting people
    to become the "Majority" - so they put every new person who showed up on
    the TD list, and tried to drive them away. To do that, they'd use the
    tactics made famous by Peter J Ross and his kooktroll army from the
    early 2010s: call them pedophiles and plagiarists. Michael Monkey would
    call them pedophiles, and NastyGoon would call them plagiarists.

    Mack wasn't a poet, just a poetry reader who was looking for help to
    track down some lines (which I did in a week, with Will's essential
    help). But by the end of Mack's first day on the group, he was fighting
    with Team Monkey, and by the end of the first week he was being called a plagiarist by NastyGoon, and being attacked by the Monkey and the Chimp
    for "attacking NancyGene". By the end of his second week, having got his answer, Mack was gone.

    And that's the story of Mack A. Damia.

    why you think they're sufficient to "back up" your opinions.

    Show us the
    progression in your writing that reflects 50 years of experience. Your
    poems and prose are all written in the same primitive style you used at
    17 in the 5th grade.

    If you were a credentialed academic, you must have run into the phrase "shifting the burden of proof" before. When a poet and a critic disagree about the poet's work, the onus is not the poet to demonstrate their
    case; it's on the critic to demon theirs.

    You also hate the writing of Manny greats including Harlan Ellison, Jack >>> Kerouac, Leonard Cohen.
    Who is Manny? BTW, those are not great writers.

    "Manny" looks like a typo for "many". As for your gratuitous attacks on Ellison, Kerouac, and Cohen, you can back those up after you've "backed
    up" your opinion of Will's work (which we can get to after you've backed
    up your opinion of your academic credentials).

    You're basically just an igneous troll, NancyGene.

    We are a Volcanic Goddess! Are we a member of MAGMA?

    MAGMA was funny, so we can forgive that spelling lame. But I do have to
    point out that repeatedly making spelling lames about usenet posts by
    someone who's written about his vision problems does nothing to back up
    your opinions of his poetry.

    One thing is probably certain, NG learned who John Donne was

    I remember Mack, yet another of the [poets] driven away from the
    newsgroup
    by thug trolls such as NancyGene.

    Heh, heh, Port of Mack a Damia. He was no more a poet (or port) than
    his dog. He was another flunky you brought to AAPC to support you.

    It was Mack A. Damia who made up the nickname "NastyGoon" for NancyGene. Prior to that I'd been using "NastyGene" (see my old song for that)
    while Stephen Pickering used to call them "NaziGene" because of how they targeted the Jews (him mainly, but also Rachel and Ilya.

    NastyGoon was a member of Team Monkey, which included Michael Monkey
    (now aka as "HarryLime" or HarryLiar) and Chimp Obsesso (Jim Senetto,
    under a dozen different nyms). these three claimed to be the "Majority"
    of aapc and claimed the right to run it. They believed a conspiracy
    theory that their imagined enemies (Team Donkey) were recruiting people
    to become the "Majority" - so they put every new person who showed up on
    the TD list, and tried to drive them away. To do that, they'd use the
    tactics made famous by Peter J Ross and his kooktroll army from the
    early 2010s: call them pedophiles and plagiarists. Michael Monkey would
    call them pedophiles, and NastyGoon would call them plagiarists.

    Mack wasn't a poet, just a poetry reader who was looking for help to
    track down some lines (which I did in a week, with Will's essential
    help). But by the end of Mack's first day on the group, he was fighting
    with Team Monkey, and by the end of the first week he was being called a plagiarist by NastyGoon, and being attacked by the Monkey and the Chimp
    for "attacking NancyGene". By the end of his second week, having got his answer, Mack was gone.

    And that's the story of Mack A. Damia.

    Meanwhile... *crickets*

    Of course I've had over fifty years experience with writing poetry and
    songs.

    Will's writing has not progressed from the 5th grade level where it
    "leveled" out. He could try for 1000 years and would still be a
