Good god.

Still, I wonder how Hawksmoor’s sex and murder fantasy would go down on Planet Care Bleeurrgghhh. Better than here you think, or worse?

I think my favorite part of this thread is the title and the implication that Hawksmoor is doing us a favor by posting it here for us to read. That and the fact that the first reply is him bumping it by saying how good he thinks it is. And everything else, really.

He is right though, innee. I’ve read it about 5 times now, and it felt well worth the time and the energy every time. And I’m not even that into reading!

hey, my last comment was a joke btw. I may not post in this forum a lot, but I read it extensively. I don't really think Barb is mean (well not all of you, anyway, heh), I was extracting the urine. Again, it's sad when people can't understand when ou're joking in text. I may have to start using [joke] tags...

its savage, sharp-toothed critics slagging off everything they can set their eyes on

Ooh ooh where? Can I see the slavering savages slating and slandering stuff?

Dang, I've been at work too long. My typing is awful, and this in a thread where people are arguing about spelling. Shame on me. Shame on me.

Oh wait, it ain't so.

might be fun if it was, at least sometimes. maybe a thread for the savaging of cultural products would be good? like, one in which the getting one's panties all in a bunch is strictly verboten, and the only other restriction is 'nae hate speech'?
possibly in the conversation?

i'd buy popcorn for that.

FINALLY, Tango Mango, man! Finally, someone else besides me who has the balls to stand up to these nick picky, overly sensitive bastards. Dude, you have no idea how much fun I had in debating this thing, but in the end, I have a life, you know? I have a girl who loves me and business to attend to. I have Real People to talk to instead of having to stay online all night, debating bullshit. I have other outlets for my mind and personality. And my time.

It seems that some of these people don't have that at all. No lives at all, it seems. I saw the comment that some random asshole made about the poem that was put there as the subject or whatever, and you know, I don't even have the energy to go back and post that I didn't write it at all. It doesn't matter to me. Not at all. As long as these snotty, nerdy white people stay on me, I’m gonna go right back on them. Fun to me, you see. Claiming to know so much when they really know shit, you know? I still don't see anyone else's shit up here…does anyone here with such “nice comments” to give have balls enough to take the chance I’ve taken? Comments, but nothing to support them, in other words.

It's pathetic. Thanks, Mango. We can talk anytime. LOL.

Toksik, you mean to tell me that you searched the entire web for my name? Are you serious? I'm touched, lol. See, I haven't got the time to track people down online, psychotically trying to prove whether I’m right or not. See, I’ve got this little thing called A Life. I’ve got a little habit of not being crazy and compulsive enough to go looking for people I’ve had discussions with online. You must be a stalker in actual life, eh? Anyone else see this sort of behavior as unbalanced and sick? C’mon, be brave, speak up. God. LOL. I'll leave that to you , bro . And as far as the comment on King's novel and my ratings on Amazon, well, it's obvious you have no taste for what's good and what isn't. I doubt if you even read much at all. Do yourself a favor, and stick to whatever it is you do every day, you know, besides staying on the comp and trying (TRYING) to tear people down all night long. Get a life, dude. Seriously. And do me a favor and don’t mail me anymore, man. You’re a scary dude. Maybe you should seek psychiatric help. .Later.

Having just read it I didn't care for it. It's only a few steps up from the sort of story where men get anally raped to show how uncompromising and gritty the writer is. The three characters are cyphers for this, what little any of them do is unbeliavable. So Hawkman, what was the point?

I was trying to stay out of this thread as it serves no real purpose anymore, but Hawksmoor, you are such a jackass it drove me to post. You asked for criticism and you got some well thought out, considered criticism from people and then went apeshit at them for having the temerity to criticise your "Great Work". Seriously what are you doing here? You obviously have no idea of how to behave in normal society, it's just painful.
 
 
Hawksmoor
20:33 / 10.01.06
And smoothly weaving, i don't think i'm gonna comment on anything you said...besdies this i mean. Way to join in on the dog pile, eh, bro? How's it feel? To matter? I get the feeling that you're a pathetic follower in real life, too. Or is this your ral life, the only place you've got any friends at all? Hehhe. How's the old self esteem holding up, man? You must be about ready to kill yourself, with what all the smelling of your leader's nuts must be doing to you. Grow up, you nerd.

LOL.

Ha-ha-ha-hawksmoor, I think you're confusing me with someone else. I posted once, early on last night, to call you on being a joke suit, and later today to dispute a particular perception of Barbelith. Oh, no, I also said that your opening post was worth the time and energy to read! Relatively speaking, I'm on your side, bro.
 
 
Quantum
21:03 / 10.01.06
Oh, and I was criticising the content, it was a bad rhyming summary, almost as bad as your appalling-drivel-I-mean-story. Really, really bad writing, get another hobby. I'm sure you're a lovely person though.

Dude, you have no idea how much fun I had in debating this thing
i'm glad you had fun, bro. next time you might make it less uncool, maybe swapping the gay shit and the fat shit for something less ignorant?


but in the end, I have a life, you know?

show dont tell.

I saw the comment that some random asshole made about the poem that was put there as the subject or whatever, and you know, I don't even have the energy to go back and post that I didn't write it at all.

no one thinks you did, dude.
you are misreading, i believe.


It doesn't matter to me. Not at all.

show dont tell.


As long as these snotty, nerdy white people stay on me, I’m gonna go right back on them. Fun to me, you see.
if that is the cae, you might want to take a different tack when accusing me of not leting things go and being immature.

Claiming to know so much when they really know shit, you know?

are you for real?
did you read haus' excerpt?
its way better than your's, and it has an internal logic that yours sorely lacks.

I still don't see anyone else's shit up here

see above.


Toksik, you mean to tell me that you searched the entire web for my name?

yes.
google is my homepage, and i was curious to see whether you are in fact a 'real' person, or if you are just a troll doing this for effect.
one search found your reviews, two clicks and i had seen all 19.
doesnt everyone search the whole internet?
who searches half the internet?

See, I haven't got the time to track people down online, psychotically trying to prove whether I’m right or not.

you havent got thirty seconds to spare? is that why you use LOL instead of laughing out loud?
oh, and i wasnt trying to prove myself right. i was trying to assess the accusations that others have made that you are a hoax suit. this, it could be argued, is for your benefit, as hoax suits are not really accepted round here these days.


See, I’ve got this little thing called A Life.

show dont tell.


Anyone else see this sort of behavior as unbalanced and sick?

i doubt it. as i said, i was trying to understand where ou are coming from, and stop people from having you booted for flaunting the TOC you agreed when joining.


I doubt if you even read much at all.

oh, right.
ting is...

stick to whatever it is you do every day

currently all i do is read.
i'm off sheduled work til february, and i spend most of my time improving my skills and catching up on that stack of books by my desk.



And do me a favor and don’t mail me anymore, man. You’re a scary dude.

send me a PM and i will reply. need i remind you that i have yet to send you any unsolicited messages?

Maybe you should seek psychiatric help. .Later.

how much later? i only ask becaue i have an apointment with my shrink to discuss my 'obssesive assistance of the terminally self obsessed' problem tomorrow, and i'm not sure if that's late enough...

Crimes of Fashion had a beautiful girlfriend in his identical rant. He also got to see a real, live tiger, though. So who wins, ultimately?

The tiger wins. Or maybe we *all* win by participating, it's a reward in itself. "worth your time and energy" hmmm.

I'm going to read CoF's rant again, it was much better.

Hey, who's digging? I really liked the poem, y'know? I don't read much poetry though these days, nor write it, so maybe I'm easily impressed. But I did do a year or so of English poetry in London at the Polytechnic Of North London, and that's shown me that rhyme and metre aren't the only way to judge someone's art. I mean, forget all this death of the author stuff, right?

I must say this is some of the best comedy I've seen in months. Are we going to go back to debating Haus' use of the English language? Because that stuff was priceless.

I love that Hawksmoor "doesn't care", and this aint important to me at all, and yet he posts a rant about having a life.
Hey, Hawksmoor, I have a life. Today I went to school, hung out with some friends, went to the dentist, shopped at the grocer's, went to a bookstore, and yet I posted on Barbelith. Gasp. Can it be that 'lithers can also have this mythical life, this life that you seem to have so much of? That the Internet can co-exist with the real world? Say it ain't so.

And just to reiterate, this is teh bestest thread evah.
 
 
Hawksmoor
23:39 / 10.01.06
Oh, I understood what MangoMan said...it was joke, see, and not to my benefit at all. I chose to comment on what he was saying and run with it, instead of being an ass and responding to what you people were saying. I do that sometimes. See, it’s called a joke. Sheesh. LOL.
 
 
Hawksmoor
23:40 / 10.01.06
Matt, somehow, your rantings sound a bit off key..false, in other words. If you do indeed have a life, (which i doubt) you sure went a long way on proving it. Why would you do that? Priceless.
 
 
Hawksmoor
23:42 / 10.01.06
Now, friends, how about i post another story for you all to tear apart? What say you?

Matt, somehow, your rantings sound a bit off key..false

Rantings? Merely a paragraph, mon ami. More of a list, actually. It wasn't supposed to be a rant. I was merely pointing out that the Internet and the "real" world are not so separate. That we can peacefully coexist in binary and in carbon. But oh well.

And, Hawksmoor, I meant what I said in our PMs. Don't think my participation in this thread's debacle means I won't respectfully critique your work. That is, until the hate-speech arrives, and let's all hope that never happens because we're all adults.
 
 
Hawksmoor
00:15 / 11.01.06
Amen on that, brother. Say, i'm still awaiting a post, a story from you...i really would be very interested in reading some of your work. You sound pretty intelligent, at least.
 
 
Life Critic
00:21 / 11.01.06
remeber when i told you in a PM that it was up to you how this ended? y'know, the comment about taking it like a man, sucking it up and rolling with the comedy?

stop trying to salvage wounded pride and accept that you have fucked up, several times, and will continue to do so as long as you cling to that ego of yours with your talons of solid mince.

you say you arre making jokes.
well, i for one am not getting them.
you say people are going to inordinate lengths to prove themselves.
do you have a mirror?
 
 
Life Critic
00:45 / 11.01.06
remember the rules, matt.
unambivalent praise only, unless you happen to be a writer whom hawksmoor admires.
and if you dare...if you DARE to tell him that one of his charcters doesnt ring true, dont expect that hate speech to be far away.

bear in mind that he is a really quite angry man, and that he is confident that None of [us] could ever face [him] in real life, [as we'd] be too afraid of [him],(and [he] know this is a solid FACT)

that he told me this over the internet, lives in north carolina and seems to think i am from england doesnt make this any less scary.
i am shitting not only my pants, but my brother's pants and the pants of my unborn children.


hawksmoo:
i respectfully direct you to this thread here. it concerns harrasing people anonymoously.

your real name, please mr h.
