I've got to give credit where credit is due: one of my most avid non-fans does come up with some marvelously creative (and alliterative) insulting comments.
Often these go into a Typepad spam filter, where I just discovered some heretofore unnoticed gems.
Usually I ignore hate mail, but these communications struck me as possessing an admirable "Howl" style (Allen Ginsberg's classic poem) and deserved to be shared with a wider audience.
why you such a two bit second grade hypocritical coward you miserable little runt eyed prat, what you so goddamn chicken about you pitiful little two faced rat? You a typical two faced insincere coward who is too cowardly to face any facts.. Lemme tell you how its gonna cut you cowardly little pitiful prat... reality gonna dawn on you so hard you gonna bust apart and cry big tears like the little chicken arsed two faced unscrupulous insincere back biting coward you are.
about time this pseudo psycho asshole derelict dimwit dumb ass Hines got down from his self made defunct cocoon of ignorant denial driven disillusionment and opened up his defunct derailed brain and let a little bit of open minded light into his dark cavernous debauched brainwashed bullshit baffled bewilderment.
you churchless chump morons think you clever, the entire gamut bang shoot of you churchless anti RSSB champing clowns are decidedly and absolutely stupid... and it shows...
The author of these messages, of course, considers that he/she is not decidedly and absolutely stupid. I'll leave it to the reader to determine where the balance of stupidity falls most heavily.
The allegedly historic Jesus of Nazareth is quoted as saying something to the effect of "it is not what a man puts into his mouth, but what comes out of his mouth that defiles him."
Inasmuch as written words are adequate stand-ins for oral pronunciations, I would have to extend that truism. Does your detractor identify him/herself in any way?
Alan Ginsberg was not my cup of tea, but the person who typed the text you quote has nowhere near the talent that Ginsberg had.

Willie R, I know who my non-fan is. I respect his passion for what he believes is right and wrong. I just would like it if he directed that passion in a more productive direction -- such as by critiquing what I write about on this blog in a way that would allow thoughtful discussion.

I know who the non-fan is and so does/would erstwhile commenter here, tAo. The writer's style is unmistakable. It is amazing he has kept this up for several years. How's the weather in South Africa?

To get that kind of rant, Brian, you must be doing something right!
Keep up the good work....
