This is the first time I've noticed Keith posting in this group.
He usually hangs out in r.a.sf.fandom, but that group makes this
one look busy, and its recently been taken over by Dr Who fans and
AI generated posts.

 

If it's been taken over, I haven't noticed.  I've set up filters to
block anything Dr. Who related, which may be overkill but works.

 I've been posting to rasfw intermittently for decades.  But in this
thread I've been posting to rasff, and failed to notice that the
thread was being crossposted to rasfw.  Peter is still in my killfile,
so I only see his posts when someone quotes them.  As I've said
before, I'm willing to remove him from my killfile if he he emails
me an apology.  (He's never been blocked from my email.)
 The Who-related posts in rasff have mostly died down.  Peter is right
about some of the Who-related posts being generated by ChatGPT, but
that was pretty universally condemned even by the Whovians.

This is one of those petty fannish feuds that go on long beyond
reason. In this case, each of us feels that the other has wronged
them, and wants an apology from the other.
It simply isn't going to happen, and matters very little.
I'd rather people NOT respond this this post. There's no
reason to incite Keith to keep going on about it.
