   largely abstained from the majority of your flame wars with other   
   members.   
      
   I have, however, always suspected that it stems from jealously on your   
   part, as her posts are better written than yours, and reveal her to be   
   better educated and more intelligent than yourself (in spite of your   
   claims of having been a member of MENSA).   
      
   I think that this latest attack was provoked by my having paid a   
   well-deserved compliment to one of her poems -- as you have always been   
   jealous of any poet whose work I have praised (Jim Senetto, for   
   example).   
      
   In conclusion, I would like to stress the fact that NancyGene's poem is   
   entirely an original work, and that her opening line is one of the best   
   that I have ever come across.  I prefer it to Mr. Creeley's because it   
   strikes me as being universally applicable, whereas Mr. Creeley's   
   (assuming I am reading correctly in its out-of-context form) deals with   
   cases of isolation and clinical depression which fewer individuals have   
   experienced.
