LOL! Remember what happened the last time you your act solo
rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1950s. You tried there to pose as the genius
with the encyplopedic knowledge of 1950s music, but (even though your
knowledge of 1950s music is more extensive than your knowledge of
poetry)
you failed miserably, got your ass kicked and had to come here to start
over.
Even if you had the brains of a chimp, you'd be smart enough to realize
you
needed a team this time.

I left the 50s group for numerous reasons, the most significant being
that it had become a thoroughly unproductive time sap.  I had learned
all that I could from it, and the arguments were becoming repetitive
rehashes that served no valuable purpose for me to pursue.  Since
leaving, I have completed and published numerous books (including a 50s
music book), and a monthly poetry magazine.

You made the right decision; it is better to put your efforts into
something more permanent. Please do the same for aapc.

And, if I felt that I needed a team to participate in this group, I
would have sided with PJR, Horatio, and Gwyneth, who were infinitely
more knowledgeable,  and better educated than those of "Team Dunce"
(which at the time consisted of you and your Donkey).

Like Corey, you did; but PJR, the elitist snob that he was, wanted
nothing to do with either of you; so it was either leave or join the
opposition. So you joined the opposition, and helped get rid of him,
then tried to replace him.
Unfortunately, you misunderstood and thought the opposition wanted to
run aapc themselves. I can't speak for the other two, but I don't want
anyone to run it.

You nailed it again, George.

Thanks. PJR's team was quite happy to take in both Corey and Michael as
allies, but PJR wanted nothing to do with them. So he decided to play
elitist snob. Of course, he didn't reject them because they weren't
"good" or "amsart" enough to be on his team - if he only wanted good
writers and smart thinkers, he wouldn't have had nonentities like Cujo
de Sockpuppet on it. He wanted meat puppets, yes men who'd be willing to
stay in subordinate role, not independent thinkers. Independent thinker
wouls sooner or later disagree with him and challenge his opinions, with
the result that the fighting would move into his team, and it would
cease to act as a team.

It's the same reason that, for all his trying, Corey never made it onto
Team Mokey, either.

An update, Corry is alive and apparently well and posting on Facebook
again.
I'm not sure if he understands how to get here and post from here,
though.
