- <sigh> Because of my principles, I seem to have gotten myself into the
- position of flaming anybody who makes snide comments about Piers Anthony
- on rec.arts.sf.written.
-
- All it really does it make me realize how poor a flamer I am--I keep actually
- trying to make points instead of resorting to as many ad hominem arguments as
- I probably should.
-
- No, I don't consider myself Piers Anthony's greatest fan, but I'm goddamn tired
- of the way Anthony fans are considered second-class citizens merely my
- profession of a single author preference. I'm hoping that good old negative
- reinforcement will work--maybe, for that purpose, it's better to have bad
- flames, so people will just want me to stop...
-
- I suppose I could extend my flaming franchise to talk.bizarre, if anyone really
- wants to give me some more practice...Curtis?
