[…] on spec usually sucks, but publishers who threaten freelancers with lawsuits for spurious reasons suck even more. This comment thread WOULD NOT DIE, and it is valuable for info as well as major snarkity snark […]

No problem, Ms. Doran. You can see where they come from (work, cell). The cell, I think, keeps recycling the IP address. Or maybe the Internet has become sentient, and knows too much about me. (Whoa… a computer becomes bored, so decides to initiate Turing tests with random users. Black comedy, no? Title it: “God Is Laughing”)

@Colleen, he posted to YOUR blog because he thought it was safe and he could use it for free publicity/spin doctoring. He couldn’t or wouldn’t stand up on the blog that accused him for fear of getting his ass handed to him so he came here instead. More fool he.

That is one of the suck, suckity, suckiest movies in cinematic history. No wonder I love it so!

Oh, John, you barbarian!

And BTW, I have no idea why your posts keep getting eaten by the moderation filter. Sorry about the post delays.

I tend to quote classic Warner Brothers cartoons.

I also hope I am never on the wrong side, especially with female bloggers. They can access that mystical power known as “Mommy Voice”, and having a German mother, I know too well its power.

Thanks for linking back to this, otherwise I would have missed this delightful exchange!

What I want to know is why MM approached my blog about this and not yours. Your blog is the one with all the info and direct quotes from the letters. I just linked to it and made some general commentary.

Damn, it’s good to see I’m not the only one who loves Tombstone. I’ve been quoting that line, and the other classic, “You’re a daisy if you do,” for years now. Great stuff.

Just so MM know – it’s no use going after Al. I broke the story and drew people’s attention to it in the first instance, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Al is a class act Mr Mohawk, you’d do well to learn from the way he comports himself.

Colleen – your spotting of my huckleberry quote only enhances your image in my eyes!

Cheers

Danny
