Say what you will. But having brav'd the drooling gaptoothed maw of Righteous Unreason too long already, I find myself stain'd beyond the cleaning pow'rs of brillo and yet no wiser. Replying to such as the following could only swell this flood of unholy-smelling cack into apocalyptic culture-killing proportions. If there is in fact a terrifying, personal Hell awaiting my sinful soul, and if there is indeed a sign at its entrance, I'm sure it reads something like this:
"Zodiac, I actually did make a change. I mistakenly placed an "a" both before and after the word "place" in the third line of the poem. It was an obvious error that I felt compelled to fix. Wow you are really paranoid about this whole little game we've been playing here. Chill-out man. You really lack self control don't you? You're delusional to boot. On three occasions here you stated that you would no longer engage me. Twice you could not resist the intentional bate I threw your way and now you've conjured up some strange conspiracy theory around a simple grammatical correction I made to this poem. Wow! I didnât realize I had rocked your world so profoundly! But your comment was revealing. From your own pen you assert, "If I rank it high, that I'm weak-willed and awestricken by your skill"....then you proceed to give me a 10!! Gee Professor I never new you felt that way. Coming from a literary genius like you, that's quite a compliment. I'm really quite happy that you've responded as you have. Your impulsiveness and lack of control are what this poem is all about. You can knock my writing abilities all you want but you can't deny that I've captured a salient aspect of your personality. None of us is perfect. That's why I thought your Joe-Joe work was so good. Yes, it does describe an unflattering aspect of my personality. Darky says I'm "thick"...very perceptive of him... I often can be although I refer to it as being "head strong". My colleagues here at the collegeâ¦who are profoundly liberalâ¦freely attest to my unyielding personality and, at times, myopic way of looking at things. Not a big deal, weâre all works in process. By the way, where did the "Father Figure" crap come from? I know I said that your ideas are similar to those of an 18 year old kid..but I really have no idea how old you are....for all I know you might be old enough to be my grandfather. At any rate, please relax a bit and donât take things so seriouslyâ¦life is too short. Peace Joe-Joe"
