    GJD: IOW, /AYoS/ was set up as a copy of /April/ magazine. But it never published "each and every one of AAPC's members" as you began banning
    people right from the beginning. And it sure doesn't do that now, when
    only 3 of you contribute anything (and nothing of value) to AAPC.



    MMP: And your recent false claims that "AYoS" steals poetry ensure that
    you're going to stay banned from that publication for the remainder
    of your miserable little life.



    GJD: So you "banned" me after I asked you to remove my poems: Whoop-d0-doo! Yet you're still hanging on to them, and advertising them. I'll probably spend the rest of my "miserable little life" trying to get them back
    from you.



    MMP: Similarly, the Donkey and his Stink were not banned for anything they >> said about me, but because they continually interrupted "The Sunday
    Sampler" whenever Jim would "X" one of their poems.



    GJD: Now, that's a good point: even before you and drivel-boy were banning poets, you were censoring out their poems in the Sampler. That's how
    you lost, notjust Will and Zod, but Ilya and Horatio as well. And of
    you were the first to censor those; then you convinced drivel-boy to
    do it, and that was the end of the Sampler as a "showcase [for] the
    poetry of *each and every one* of AAPC's members". Don't blame others
    for the ruin of something you ruined yourself.



    MMP: In short, when you make false accusations of unfair practices and
    literary theft, you're going to be banned from participating in it.



    GJD: We've already covered "unfair practices" - as for "literary theft" -
    you used to take poetry from the Sampler, without asking, and you
    admit you do the same thing with poems posted to your facebook
    group. You're a thief, thief.



    MMP: I doubt that *any* publication would accept submissions from someone >> who made such charges against them. And disrupting a magazine to the
    point that its editor closes it down, would get you banned from just
    about any magazine as well.



    GJD: If any publisher took poems of mine without asking, lied about how
    long he intended to keep them in publication, or refused to take
    them out of his magazine when challenged on the above points - and
    you're guilty of all three - I wouldn't hesitate to speak up about
    his "practices" - nor would I worry about it refusing to pring any
    more poems that I wouldn't be submitting.



    MMP: I don't hold personal grudges over name-calling. And even if I did, >> I wouldn't allow my personal grudges to carry over into my
    publication.



    GJD: Perhaps not; but you would allow your trolling (the reason you get called names back) to carry over into your "publication" - that's
    the only reason for your "publication" in the first place.



    MMP: I would have considered allowing him to participate in
    "AYoS" had several of the other contributors not objected (although
    his recent attempts to label "AYoS" as a vanity press have
    permanently closed the door on him.



    GJD: You claim AYoS is not a vanity anthology, by industry jargon,
    because it doesn't charge upfront fees. Neither for example, does
    the /American Library of Poetry/ - that group accepts anything, for free,
    so they can sell copies to their poets. https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1m4xt5a/us_the_america_library_of_poetry_publication_scam/

    That's exactly what /AYoS/ does as well; the only difference is that
    they do it for the money, while you do it for the sake of pretending
    to be a "publisher" - like the poets you publish, you're motivated
    by your own vanity.




    GJD, good idea, moving this to a new thread rather than letting it get buried by the mass tizzy of the trolls.

    MMP: To take but one example:

    465 views Nov 29, 2022, 5:30:59rC>PM

    Michael Pendragon explains his editorial philosophy

    (or, how Jim got into AYoS)

    "You divide everyone into two categories: potential allies and potential adversaries. You slurp the writings of your potential allies and attack
    those of your potential adversaries."

    "When Jim is seen as a potential ally, you request his poetry. When he
    is seen as an adversary, you assign a childish name to him and claim he
    can't write."

    [END QUOTE]

    Not that it matters, Dunce. Your recent claims that I stole your poetry are ample reason for banning you for life.





    MMP: "AYoS" was started as a continuation of "The Sunday Sampler," which >> was created to showcase the poetry of *each and every one* of AAPC's
    members who contributed; and we continue that practice today.



    GJD: IOW, /AYoS/ was set up as a copy of /April/ magazine.

    MMP: I never read your "April" magazine, you full of yourself p.o.s.

    AYoS was a continuation of The Sunday Sampler. That is why Jim is listed on our masthead as "Founding Editor."

    If anything, your "April" thing was most likely a copy of The Sunday Sampler -- which you'd unsuccessfully attempted to take over after your Donkey and his Stink drove Jim away from AAPC.

    DUNCE: But it never
    published "each and every one of AAPC's members" as you began banning
    people right from the beginning. And it sure doesn't do that now, when
    only 3 of you contribute anything (and nothing of value) to AAPC.

    MMP: Earth to Dunce: AYoS publishes poets from The Official AAPC Facebook Poetry Group. It has nothing to do with this dead usenet group.

    AAPC publishes the best poetry from the AAPC *FACEBOOK* contributors.

    We all know that you're well aware of this fact, so why do you insist on playing the Dunce?





    MMP: And your recent false claims that "AYoS" steals poetry ensure that
    you're going to stay banned from that publication for the remainder
    of your miserable little life.



    GJD: So you "banned" me after I asked you to remove my poems: Whoop-d0-doo! Yet you're still hanging on to them, and advertising them. I'll probably spend the rest of my "miserable little life" trying to get them back
    from you.

    MMP: Another Dunce lie.

    I banned you when you attacked my editorial policy.

    I banned you for life (with no hope of reprieve) when you accused me of stealing your crap poetry.



    MMP: Similarly, the Donkey and his Stink were not banned for anything they >> said about me, but because they continually interrupted "The Sunday
    Sampler" whenever Jim would "X" one of their poems.



    GJD: Now, that's a good point: even before you and drivel-boy were banning poets, you were censoring out their poems in the Sampler. That's how
    you lost, notjust Will and Zod, but Ilya and Horatio as well.

    MMP: If you've ever submitted poetry ot any publication, you know that they have guidelines. Submissions that do not adhere to the guidelines are automatically rejected.

    The Sampler guidelines as well. Submissions that were not in compliance with the guidelines were rejected.

    That's not censorship, whiny Dunce. That's just standard procedure.

    As to Ilya and Horatio, I don't recall either poet ever having submitted poetry to the Sampler. Ilya's poetry was usually laughably bad, so that would have been no big loss. Horatio would have been a welcome contributor, and IMHO, he was experienced enough to accept the fact that publications have guidelines that contributors must follow.

    As to your Donkey and his Stink, their lack of familiarity with actual publications is obvious. They chose to treat The Sampler as if it were simply another usenet thread, and quickly found out that such was not the case.

    DUNCE: you were the first to censor those; then you convinced drivel-boy to do it, and that was the end of the Sampler as a "showcase [for] the
    poetry of *each and every one* of AAPC's members". Don't blame others
    for the ruin of something you ruined yourself.

    MMP: How could I have been the first to censor them, when Jim was publishing the magazine? You're really quite the Dunce today, Dunce.



    MMP: In short, when you make false accusations of unfair practices and
    literary theft, you're going to be banned from participating in it.



    GJD: We've already covered "unfair practices" - as for "literary theft" -
    you used to take poetry from the Sampler, without asking, and you
    admit you do the same thing with poems posted to your facebook
    group. You're a thief, thief.

    MMP: The FaceBook Group has Guidelines. Contributors are expected to read the Guidelines before applying for acceptance into the Group. I operate on the assumption that they have read them prior to posting.

    Our online magazine can be edited *after* publication. And, has been, several times, when a typo had been pointed out. Should any contributor wish to have their poetry removed, it can easily be done.

    And, as I've pointed out, no one has yet to complain. Here are some of the responses our recent issues have received from contributors:

    Louise Charlton Webster:
    Am so enjoying the eclectic nature of SeptemberrCOs issue of A Year of Sundays. ItrCOs a gift to have the opportunity to read so many different authors . Thank you all for the work that went into this publication and thank you for including my poems inside such a treasure.

    Joseph Danoski:
    Stupendous Autumn issue! The very heart of September, and soul of October.




    MMP: I doubt that *any* publication would accept submissions from someone >> who made such charges against them. And disrupting a magazine to the
    point that its editor closes it down, would get you banned from just
    about any magazine as well.

    you're guilty of all three - I wouldn't hesitate to speak up about
    his "practices" - nor would I worry about it refusing to pring any
    more poems that I wouldn't be submitting.

    MMP: We've been over this at least a dozen times, Dunce. I sent you page proofs prior publication. You had the options of approving them, correcting them, or denying us the right to publish them. You chose to publish them.

    As to your claim that I'd lied about the length of publication: as explained earlier, several of the contributors expressed their desire that the anthology remain in publication indefinitely. No one (your miserable self included) expressed any wish to the contrary. I compromised by agreeing to keep the anthology in print for three years.

    The issues with your poems in them have been out of print for a while now, and you've no call to keep whining about it.



    MMP: I don't hold personal grudges over name-calling. And even if I did, >> I wouldn't allow my personal grudges to carry over into my
    publication.



    GJD: Perhaps not; but you would allow your trolling (the reason you get called names back) to carry over into your "publication" - that's
    the only reason for your "publication" in the first place.

    MMP: WTF are you yammering on about now, lying Dunce?

    Very few of my contributors know who you and your Donkey are. And neither of you are mentioned in any of the poems that we publish.

    The reason for my *publication* was to create a community of small press poets who would read and comment on one another's work. The publication is an enticement to poets who are looking to gain readers, publication credits, or simply to have something they've written in a printed volume.

    It is also a "thank you" from NancyGene and I for they're having participated in our literary community.




    MMP: I would have considered allowing him to participate in
    "AYoS" had several of the other contributors not objected (although
    his recent attempts to label "AYoS" as a vanity press have
    permanently closed the door on him.

    they do it for the money, while you do it for the sake of pretending
    to be a "publisher" - like the poets you publish, you're motivated
    by your own vanity.



    MMP: "the only difference is that they do it for the money." That's right, Dunce -- they do it for the money. They are technically not a "vanity" publication, but they are a well known scam.

    As I've already explained to you numerous times, the publishing industry breaks publications down into the following categories:

    1 ) Vanity: A publication that charges contributors fees to have their work included.
    2 ) Non-paying: A publication that does not pay contributors for their work.
    3 ) Copy: A publication that pays contributors with a free copy of their magazine.
    4 ) Semi-Pro: A publication that pays a flat token rate of usually just a few dollars for contributions.
    5 ) Pro: A publication that pays the going rate for literary works.

    Most small press publications fall under the 2nd and 3rd headings. The Horror Zine, which you've had poetry in, is a non-paying publication as well.

    In fact, any professionally printed small press publication is going to be non-paying, as the costs of supplying and mailing out print are greater than if they paid at semi-pro rates.

    And, no. I do not publish AYoS to satisfy my personal vanity. I have been publishing literary magazines and book anthologies since 1988 when I took over my college's Art & Literary magazine, Excalibur. I worked in a NYC based publishing house, editing medical textbooks, and published the Penny Dreadful and Songs of Innocence and Experience (both of which had poems appearing in The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror), as well as anthologies like There Is Something in the Autumn and The Bible of Hell. I don't need AYoS to pretend that I'm a publisher. AYoS is just another small press publishing project.

    And many of the poets that we publish have long lists of publication credits as well. You recognized Bruce Boston from last year's anthology. He's one of many AYoS contributors who I was publishing back in the 1990s. Other contributors were invited to join AAPC because I am a fan of their work (published elsewhere). Yes, we have the usual amateurs as well, but we also have a lot of seasoned small press pros.

    Horatio and Ilya are both good poets, too bad they were both driven away.

    And so it goes.



    Horatio was good. Ilya was ESL and the English translations of his poems were often laughably horrible. There were elements to his poetry that I liked, but they were often overwhelmed by the campy, unintentional humor in the translation.

    Neither was driven away from AYoS, as neither has ever appeared in AYoS. I'm also pretty sure that neither appeared in The Sunday Sampler (Ilya might have once or twice. Horatio never did).

    But like I said: must of the AAPC members who were driven away from AAPC Usenet over the past 10 years have ended up in AYoS: Myself, NancyGene, Jim, Ash, Robert, Richard, Karen, Corey, Cujo, ME, Mabool (Rachel's uncle, IIRC), and Barry (Dental River).

    So if anyone drove members away, it certainly wasn't me or NancyGene.

    MMP: You're such a whiny, lying little shitbird, Dunce.
    You were banned from "AYoS" because you attacked the magazine, not
    because of anything you said about me.
    You falsely claimed that "AYoS" only published people that the
    editors were friends with -- which was blatantly untrue --
    especially since your poetry was still in our current print issue
    at that time.



    GJD: As usual, HarryLiar, you do *not* give a quote to back that up.
    And, as usual, you're lying and misrepresenting. I pointed out that
    you'd set up /AYoS/ as a vehicle for Team Monkey (you, NastyGoon,
    and drivel-boy [Jim]) and your assorted allied -- including, now,
    Mr. Fries -- so you could posture as "published poets." You
    called that a "personal attack" on you and "banned" me; but hung on
    to my poetry.



    MMP: "AYoS" was started as a continuation of "The Sunday
    Sampler," which
    was created to showcase the poetry of *each and every one* of
    AAPC's members who contributed; and we continue that practice
    today.



    GJD: IOW, /AYoS/ was set up as a copy of /April/ magazine. But it
    never published "each and every one of AAPC's members" as you began
    banning people right from the beginning. And it sure doesn't do that
    now, when only 3 of you contribute anything (and nothing of value)
    to AAPC.



    MMP: And your recent false claims that "AYoS" steals poetry
    ensure that
    you're going to stay banned from that publication for the remainder
    of your miserable little life.



    GJD: So you "banned" me after I asked you to remove my poems:
    Whoop-d0-doo! Yet you're still hanging on to them, and advertising
    them. I'll probably spend the rest of my "miserable little life"
    trying to get them back from you.



    MMP: Similarly, the Donkey and his Stink were not banned for
    anything they
    said about me, but because they continually interrupted "The Sunday
    Sampler" whenever Jim would "X" one of their poems.



    GJD: Now, that's a good point: even before you and drivel-boy were
    banning poets, you were censoring out their poems in the Sampler.
    That's how you lost, notjust Will and Zod, but Ilya and Horatio as
    well. And of you were the first to censor those; then you convinced
    drivel-boy to do it, and that was the end of the Sampler as a
    "showcase [for] the poetry of *each and every one* of AAPC's
    members". Don't blame others for the ruin of something you ruined
    yourself.



    MMP: In short, when you make false accusations of unfair
    practices and
    literary theft, you're going to be banned from participating in it.



    GJD: We've already covered "unfair practices" - as for "literary
    theft" - you used to take poetry from the Sampler, without asking,
    and you admit you do the same thing with poems posted to your
    facebook group. You're a thief, thief.



    MMP: I doubt that *any* publication would accept submissions from
    someone
    who made such charges against them. And disrupting a magazine to
    the point that its editor closes it down, would get you banned from
    just about any magazine as well.



    GJD: If any publisher took poems of mine without asking, lied about
    how long he intended to keep them in publication, or refused to take
    them out of his magazine when challenged on the above points - and
    you're guilty of all three - I wouldn't hesitate to speak up about
    his "practices" - nor would I worry about it refusing to pring any
    more poems that I wouldn't be submitting.



    MMP: I don't hold personal grudges over name-calling. And even if
    I did,
    I wouldn't allow my personal grudges to carry over into my
    publication.



    GJD: Perhaps not; but you would allow your trolling (the reason you

    Horatio was good. Ilya was ESL and the English translations of his poems were often laughably horrible. There were elements to his poetry that I liked, but they were often overwhelmed by the campy, unintentional humor in the translation.

    Neither was driven away from AYoS, as neither has ever appeared in AYoS. I'm also pretty sure that neither appeared in The Sunday Sampler (Ilya might have once or twice. Horatio never did).

    But like I said: must of the AAPC members who were driven away from AAPC Usenet over the past 10 years have ended up in AYoS: Myself, NancyGene, Jim, Ash, Robert, Richard, Karen, Corey, Cujo, ME, Mabool (Rachel's uncle, IIRC), and Barry (Dental River).

    So if anyone drove members away, it certainly wasn't me or NancyGene.

    Horatio and Ilya are both good poets, too bad they were both driven away.

    And so it goes.


    Horatio was good. Ilya was ESL and the English translations of his poems were often laughably horrible. There were elements to his poetry that I liked, but they were often overwhelmed by the campy, unintentional humor in the translation.

    Neither was driven away from AYoS, as neither has ever appeared in AYoS. I'm also pretty sure that neither appeared in The Sunday Sampler (Ilya might have once or twice. Horatio never did).

    But like I said: must of the AAPC members who were driven away from AAPC Usenet over the past 10 years have ended up in AYoS: Myself, NancyGene, Jim, Ash, Robert, Richard, Karen, Corey, Cujo, ME, Mabool (Rachel's uncle, IIRC), and Barry (Dental River).

    So if anyone drove members away, it certainly wasn't me or NancyGene. >>>>

    Suddenly you forget that you and your troll friends ran off members of this poetry newsgroup such as Antti Loude, Vinyl Cat, and others?

    You were very clear about your intentions at the time, Pendragon.


    Vinyl c*nt said she was tough and could take it. Not exactly a brick house, that one. Antti wasn't a poet. Vinyl c*nt wasn't a poet.


    Both Vinyl c*nt and Antti Loude wrote and posted poetry on this newsgroup.


    They posted things that they wrote, which weren't poems. How many poems have they written since they left AAPC? Zero to none.



    Vinyl Cunt was an active member of the "poetry scene" in Columbus while slinging hash at the Waffle House. All hours. No rhyme or reason.

    GJD: So you "banned" me after I asked you to remove my poems: Whoop-d0-doo!

    MMP: Similarly, the Donkey and his Stink were not banned for anything they

    GJD: Now, that's a good point: even before you and drivel-boy were banning

    MMP: In short, when you make false accusations of unfair practices and
