wow. you wrote 'heavens to betsy'...enough said there, i think
wish i was
how do you say, "the stone is the only sane person on this website" in German?
oh please stop gerard! you're killing me with your cleverness! oh please have mercy!
i'm saying that average writers with average personalities don't have websites dedicated to them

No, don't stop him. He's probably someone we already know who has some issue with the camaraderie that exists in this forum. It may be his way of lashing out. Besides if he crosses too many lines or steps on too many toes someone will cut off his wings and toy with him as he crawls around.
Then again he'll become bored and go away. In the mean time our forum demographic needs at least a small percentage of asshats to qualify for federal funding for the arts.

lashing out? deep. thanks for the analysis dr phil. i'll go sit under a tree and contemplate that right after i write this. no, i'm all for comeraderie. like i said, i'm a buk fan, and actually, i think this site is pretty cool despite that smug cunt moderator and the rest of you sycophantic ass kissers(i have a little hope for you though b dante) i take issue w/the lack of objectivity. and how many lines do i have to cross before someone "cuts off my wings" gerald? i'm gonna keep crossing lines until someone earns my respect. like nervas said: SOMEBODY STOP ME BABY!
Really? Why? Do you enjoy his novels?
Not terribly good?
Oh, that bad? Okay. Okay, so you don't like him for his novels.
Maybe you like poetry?
You can't? I bet you could if you tried? No bon't try.
Here's the thing about the 'sycophantic ass kissers' here: We like Bukowski's novels. We like his poetry. We like his short stories, journals, letters and interviews. So we hang out here.
Your idea that Bukowski is some shocking wild man is I believe in incorrect assumption, based on a couple of video clips you've seen on youtube. The boring novels that you didn't like are about the regular guy that you don't see when you watch those clips.
Now, I can be objective too. Not all of Bukowski's writing is wonderful. Not all of his poems are genius. But so what? Where does it say that they are? Not on this site. But much of his writing is great. At least in my opinion. Guess that's more subjective though huh?
So the problem here is you don't really like Bukowski as much as many of us here.
That's not likely to change is it?
Take it easy.

Your problem is obvious, but you sure are paying an awful lot of attention to a forum about a poet and writer you don't like. I have a feeling you will simple be put in a jar with no holes in the lid. No one likes a complainer but you already knew that, Oprah.
