Let's not forget that Robert Burrows came back with poetry of his own.

So it can be noted that Burrows didn't just go away crying.

Again, you intentionally created a toxic atmosphere here, which ended up
driving *everyone* away.

Again, that's a lie, Pendragon.
It all begins when you, Jim Senetto and Nancy Gene decided to try to
drive Stephan Pickering from the newsgroup.
From there, you and your troll thug wannabe attempted and sometimes
succeeded in driving other poets away from Usenet.
All that ended with the demise of Google Groups apparently, and if you
guys are happy with Facebook, go for it.
Meanwhile, the Usenet newsgroup AAPC continues and will continue, and
hopefully will grow during 2025.

You and George not only launched threads attacking Bobby, but created
similar threads attacking everyone who wasn't a member of your "team."

Actually, you, Nancy Gene and Jim Senetto were doing that as far back as
2017.
It seems now that you're trying to misrepresent and lie about what
happened.
The truth is in the archives.

I originally came to this group to promote my just-published poetry
collection in 2010.  At that time, AAPC was a wasteland -- much as it is
today, only the dozens of spam posts advertising drugs have been
replaced by dozens of spam posts of Stinky G slurping your poetry.

I came here to post and discuss poetry.

Same here.

Unfortunately, the atmosphere was so toxic, that I was forced to pick a
side in an ongoing flame war, which proved to be a colossal waste of
time.

Since you lost the flavor war, right.

Because I realized what Usenet AAPC *could* become, I stuck around and
did my best to create a much more attractive atmosphere that would
attract, rather than repel, poets.

You did your best to drive some poets away, Pendragon.
Why do you lie and misrepresent so much, Michael Pendragon?

Unfortunately, the toxicity here only worsened, to the point at which it
sank into an all-out state of no-hold-barred warfare.

That was by your choice, Pendragon.

When Google Groups pulled the plug, it seemed like the perfect
opportunity to create a group

Sure, if you can't take Usenet then it's probably a good idea to go
elsewhere, yes.

You drove Robert away

Absolutely untrue.
The archives show this, and Robert Burrows himself can verify this essay
true.

And AAPC is once again a wasteland.

Rather than the battleground you turned it into, Pendragon.

It's just you here

There's also George Dance, Zod, Jordy and Rachel, to name a few.
2025 will be a year of rebuilding Usenet after you and your gang of
troll thug wannabe tried to destroy it, Pendragon.
And so it goes.
More on this later, time to walk my dog.
