Oh, these are the idjits who called me "a tad eccentric," complained because I gave everyone good reviews (which is bullshit); and, then, when I reviewed a book by a non-poet and called it for what it wasn't, they attacked me again. This time, I had it in for some dame I've never met (and doubt I'd want to meet). Small-blinded wannabeens in the widdle CanFish Bull (and, that's a compliment :)).
But, "a tad eccentric?" Pfft! I'm wholly and fully eccentric. Just goes to show how little they know me (thank keerist!). Ughly peepsqueaks. Don't even gots the guts to use their real names. I mighta had some respect for 'em if they hadda done. Fish fish, pish pish? OMGulp, I'm embarrassed to be a Canadian when I read this dullicious dregma.
I have no recollection of anyone ever being mean to you on the Bookninja site, but even if someone had, you realize that there are several thousand people who come through every week, and I can't (nor should I even try to) possibly control the opinions they express in the comments, right? So, for the record, whomever anonymously offended you doesn't represent Bookninja or me.
I'm sure I've offended my share of people on the site, but I use my own name and I don't think any of them were you. I don't think it's fair to lump me in with the "idjits" in this case. Surely there are reasons out there to call me an idjit, but this isn't one of them.
Oh, Dear . . . By George: Of course not; and, I stand corrected on seeming to be lumping you with the fuckers who viciously demonstrated nothing but prurient projection to me; and, as an aside effect, I will NEVER review another book by Noah Leznoff as long as I live and I plan to live as wholly and fully eccentrically as I can possibly stand to be.
The comments were made by Fish Fish, Z, and The Fat Kid (who edited Leznoff's book I reviewed positively; then, the creep had the nerve to say I didn't review it properly to his fucking specs rather than submitting his superior review that proved the way it ought to have been done).
(BTW, others on that thread did tell me the names behind the cowards; but, I won't ID 'em and promo 'em [ever]; the worst press is no press; that's why I wanna be totally eccentric :).)
In fact, that's the last time I'll even type Leznoff's name <---- :). I can't afford to keep running to wash my hands . . . you know, prune-fingers, such a bitch on a keyboard . . .
I've no problem with you nor your poetry, George; in fact, I quite respect it and admire you (especially because one of my proteges, Adam Levin, once spoke very highly of you as well as your work); so, you can thank him for me seeking further for same.
Still, it saddens me I might have hurt your feelings; and, I am sorry if I did or have. I'm not mean-spirited nor do I hold grudges; too old, too little time left on this small ball; and, they only hurt their holders anyway.
if you thought I was referring to you, I am sorry; that would give me cause for pause, too; and, I thought it was clear when I wrote, "Fish Fish, pish pish," it wasn't you.
FWIW, I think you're swell as hell, K? And, I am truly sorry if I wrecked your day; that's what happens when you have total recall, a photographic memory, associationally speaking. So, sorry.

Yes, Judith, I'd be ticked too about the "tad" business.
