Have you noted a pattern in how these interactions go?
Not sure exactly what you mean by 'these interactions', old boy. If you mean my interactions with Mordant / Live Things / Aunt Beast, I think the pattern they make is that of a Viking, but a nice sort of Viking - the kind that pitches up in their longboat not with an axe but with a well-thumbed copy of 'Jonathan Livingstone Seagull'.
Do you understand the meaning of the term "without prejudice"
Well, lawyer friends tell me that it is used (esp. in correspondence) to indicate that no legal rights or privileges have been determined, lost or waived. Myself, I prefer George Michael's use of the term in the title of his album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1. Partly because the singer (then involved in a lawsuit with his record company) seemed to think that throwing a dimly understood bit of legalise into the pot would make him sound clever, but mostly 'cause he shares his initials with me and - not that I need to remind you, but still - the earth's second mightiest magician, and second best comics writer. While Wham! GM sung that "All we have to do now / Is take these lies and make them true somehow" in his groundbreaking single 'Freedom '90', the other GM asked, only a few years later in Barbelith's favourite comic, The Invisibles, the searching question: 'What if it were all true?'. The influence of the Greek on the Scot recalls, to my mind at least, that of Socrates on Plato.
Do you find it significant that nobody else is seeing the massive power issues you see afflicting Mordant?
I'm not sure that nobody else has noticed this, but if you mean that none of the small number of Barbelith members who commented on my post agreed with me, you would of course be factually correct. I can't infer from this, of course, that there is a silent majority who nodded in agreement with my post, but did not leap textually to my side (for fear, mayhap, of terrible persecution by a small number of high profile posters?), but then again it cannot be ruled out as a possibility. However, the large number of PMs I have received (the contents of which, of course, I could not in good conscience reproduce here) seems to indicate considerable support for my position. These individuals must remain Invisible.
(The though has repeatedly crossed my mind that you have got to be a jokesuit.)
Mine too, Aunt Beast, mine too. |
