Interestingly, the ones who toss out such statements tend to fall into those
categories themselves.

Unfortunately for him, I nailed one of his poems and recordings for the
mushmouthed whistle-lisping burble of a mundane piece of chopped-up-prose it
was last year and he was so hurt he's still following behind me with his
obsessed whining.
If Mushmouth would spend a bit more of his time on trying to improve his
dreary poetry rather than spending /all/ of his time begging me to slap him
down, he might manage more than on repost of an old poem a year... doesn't
look likely, though.

Shhh... if he sees his name he might return... then again, GB's pretty much
the same silly spew.

At least these three did try to write poetry at one time... much to
ggamble's embarrassment. His "Regrets of the Nam" shows him to be at best on
the level of those he tries to persecute, which is unfortunate for him.

And as I note, sometimes they put out some interesting stuff. And, of
course, they also churn out their fair share of garbage, as well.

Their mutual backpatting comes off looking pretty silly sometimes, yes.

Heh... well I know the value of my work, and I know they know... their
agenda won't allow them to even try to get what I do.
They're afraid of falling from favor with the thugs.

George is a serious poet who doesn't have to tear others down, he's
confident in his work and yeah, he's here to build the knowledge base.
Did you ever check out his bio?
http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/George_Dance_%28politician%29
'''George Dance''' is a [[politician]] and political activist in
[[Ontario]], [[Canada]]. He has been a member of the [[Libertarian Party of
Canada]] and the [[Ontario Libertarian Party]] since the mid-1970s, and has
served as interim leader of both parties.
Dance listed his occupation as stock clerk, layout artist, freelance
typesetter and office manager on various occasions between 1979 and 1993.
He has long published ''The Bulletin'', the Ontario Libertarian Party's
newsletter.
Like many others in his party, Dance has called for increased privatization
and is an opponent of unionization. He is an opponent of [[anarchism]], and
describes himself as a "proper-government libertarian" (i.e., supporting a
government and recognizes and respects individual liberties). Dance is also
an opponent of restrictions on public smoking.
Dance became leader of the Libertarian Party in 1991, after former leader
[[Stanislaw Tyminski]] left Canada to form [[Party X]] in [[Poland]]. He
held this position until May 1993, when [[Hilliard Cox]] was chosen to
replace him. Dance also served as interim leader of the federal party from
1995 to 1996. Note. [[Liberatarian]]s are different from [[Liberal]]s though
the name is similar.
Dance has served on the executive of the Ontario Libertarian Party since
1985, and is currently its chairman. He became the party's leader following
the resignation of [[John Shadbolt]] on [[June 9]], [[1995]], and held the
position until [[Sam Apelbaum]] was selected at a delegated convention in
late 1996. As party leader, Dance contested a 1996 by-election in [[York
South]].
In 1992, Dance indicated that his party might seek an electoral alliance
with the [[Freedom Party of Ontario]]. The Freedom Party soon rejected this
suggestion.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of the attacks on Dance come from jealousy,
especially from nobody Canadians like Gary Gamble, who probably reads about
GD in the newspapers and on television, since he's a national public figure
up there... while GG is... well, the author of "Pete The Dog".

Hell, yeah... interesting that /they/ are the "asskissers", or as Hammes

Yeah, Outlook here rejects some groups I wouldn't expect, sometimes, as
well.
