   >>> DUNCE: Harry, Liar, according to your email that you attached, you did not   
   ask for permission: you simply told me you had "selected" some of my poems for   
   your AYoS, and needed me to correct your proofs so you could meet your   
   publishing deadline.   
   >>>   
   >>> According to mine, I did not give you permission in writing (since you   
   hadn't bothered to ask for it), but merely made the corrections you told me   
   you needed.   
   >>   
   >>   
   >> MMP:  Dunce, Dunce, Dunce... you don't send corrections if you don't want   
   your poems included.  You say "You don't have my permission to use them."   
   >> I know you're a Dunce, but no one (the Donkey excepted) is stupid enough to   
   think you sent me corrections to poems you weren't giving me permission to   
   publish.

   > DUNCE: HarryLiar, even if you could get a judge to rule that those emails   
   were "permission in writing" (so that you wouldn't call him  "stupid"), even   
   though you never even asked for permission,   
   >   
   > MMP: How stupid are you, Dunce?  Must one spell everything out to the letter   
   for you to understand it?   
   >   
   > If you didn't want your poems included, the email was your opportunity to   
   say so.  You could have saved me a whole lot of trouble in having to break the   
   bad news (that you were included) to the other contributors.   
   >   
   > And even if you were too stupid to figure that out, you certainly would not   
   have allowed me to publish more of your poetry the following year.   
   >   
   > DUNCE: that doesn't absolve you of the charge of stealing the poems you took   
   without asking. Remember, you told me in your email that you planned to keep   
   them in publication only until the next issue appeared. I asked you to remove   
   my poems from your    
   chapbook only that turned out a year later to be a lie; and began calling you   
   a thief only after you refused to remove them.   
      
      
      
   MMP: You're playing your little nit-picky word game again, Dunce.   
      
   When you asked to have your poems removed, I *immediately* closed down the   
   issues they were in.   
      
   You weren't happy with that and demanded that I somehow remove them from the   
   actual publication as well.   
      
   Did you expect me to try to track down everyone who'd purchased a copy, and   
   asked them to return it to me so that I could black your poems out with magic   
   marker?   
      
   So, yes, I refused to remove you poetry from a publication that has gone out   
   of print.   
      
   Seriously, WTF is wrong with you, Dunce?
