The Portrait of "The Lady."
Will's long-time friend, Stinky George, fancies himself an artist...
but his portraits almost invariably appear to have "monkey-faces."
When Stinky G. posted a portrait of a woman with a human face,
several members accused him of having photographed the image out of
a library book.
"The Lady" appeared to have been "painted" with magic markers on the
inside of a brown paper shopping bag, and was basically a poorly
drawn cartoon.
However, the accusations continued.
In order to settle the dispute, one of the members challenged Stinky
to post another photo of the image, where it could be clearly seen
that it wasn't just a page in book.
Stinky George's inability to comply was considered as evidence that
the image was stolen.
The identity of "The Lady Without a Monkey-Face" remains unknown.

La Belle Dame Sans Monkey-Face.
But as laughably inept an artist as Stinky is, everyone who's compared
their works is forced to admit that his a notch or two above Will
Donkey.
Poetrywise, it's much more difficult to make a call. Will has written
one good poem, however, his literary catalogue is crammed with what
appear to be thousands of pieces of unspeakable shit. Stinky, otoh,
never comes close to the Donkey at his best, but his catalogue is so
small that the amount of unspeakable shit he's excreted upon the world
is drastically less than the mountain of shit let out by Will Donkey.
Dreckery thinks my poetry is bad.
So I'm supposed to be on suicide watch.

"I've known for over a year that this guy is the assassin of the Usenet
poetry community. When I first arrived, I thought he was keeping the
lights on in a dead group by reposting from archives. I soon realized
that he was just endlessly reposting his own stuff, that he had killed
the group by flooding it, and that most of the people he called
"trolls" were actually the members of the group.
I've joined the crowd. I'm done trying to work with him and speak reason
to him. It's exhausting and pointless." - Little Willie Douchebag gets
