Our fearful visitor is really running around the world trying to find something discreditable to use. Not coming up with much, though...the citations he is dragging up from the hoary past are 30 years old, except for the quotes from some essays a friend posted for me on the Internet in...lemme think...1994. I guess it's a good thing I don't have anything really ugly to hide in my sordid past, except for that one night with Annabelle Lee...I had almost forgotten about that, too. Damn...

But it's an interesting effort. I don't think I have seen so vehement a personal attack on Mudcat since Gargoyle took a bead on a certain laughing Mudcatter. Anything to smear, discredit or nullify the messenger.

Maybe it would help if I pointed out again that I don't write these articles, and the world at large gets them from the authors I cite in each one.

But I doubt it. Seems to me we're up against something really rabid and frothing at the mouth here.
