<LOL> Krygowski asked about my books. I showed him, so now all he can
do is pretend that I didn't write them, or insult the quality.

:-) I've linked to narrations of some of my tours. Mr. Tricycle said he
didn't believe them. I or others have linked to newspaper articles about
my bicycling and my bike advocacy work. Mr. Tricycle said those
documentations were bragging. I think he mistakenly thinks others must
behave as dishonestly as he does.

<CHUCKLE> Krygowski apparently believes that getting something
published proves that it's truthful. All one has to do to disprove
that is to check out the garbage publications that line the aisle on
the way to the checkout counters at grocery stores.

As for judging bad poetry: It shouldn't matter to Mr. Tricycle. He
regularly proclaims he doesn't care what anyone thinks, so he shouldn't
feel insulted.

Like I said, given that you lie, your judgment really doesn't matter
at all.
 

As to the quality of poetry, there's a fairly simple test: Submit it for
publication. If its printed by a well-respected publication, it's
arguably good.

 
Nonsense, none of the so called well-respected publications accept
anything except from an agent, which costs money.

Absolutely, absolutely false. I have dear friends who are honored poets
and who work in the poetry publication field. I can give very detailed
descriptions of how poems are chosen for publication ... down to
narrations of disputes between co-editors and how they were resolved.

I was referring to publishing entire books. I know that individual
poetry can be accepted in journals and magazines.

I never have and never will do that.

I am repulsed by the thought of "submitting" anything for someone
else's acceptance and approval. My books are simply take it or leave
it. The stuff I've posted here is nothing more than verifying that I
do write, something that Krygowski asked for.

Of course, Mr. Tricycle will call that a lie. He believes nothing that
differs from his tiny world view.

That's from a guy who spent most of his life doing the same boring
activities over and over;  ... riding a bicycle and standing in front
of a classroom.

When a person pathologically isolates himself from others, he learns
little about life.

<LOL> Krygowski apparently believes group thinking, small talk, and
gossip sessions is learning about life. I usually know everything I
want to know about a person by the first two or three dozen words I
encounter from them. After that, I've generally lost interest, unless
their rhetoric serves as entertainment.

I believe one can only learn about life by doing things, and most
importantly, doing new things that require new knowledge and skills.

 In my opinion, a life without challenges is not much of a life.
