   [continued from previous message]   
      
   a discussion of this new one on a different thread. Let me know.

   I remember NastyGoon and you accusing me of plagiarism for posting a   
   cento, and giving the source information on the thread in another post   
   rather than on the poem itself. I also remember NastyGoon accusing a lot   
   of other people of plagiarism - as I say, that was their schtick.   
      
   > Are either of these incidents what you are referring to?   
      
   No, I'm referring to your accusation, in this thread, that I wrote   
   something and tried to pass it off as Robert Creeley's work.

   You concluded that I forged it based on 10 years of seeing me forging   
   poems? Oh, do please give me one example.   
      
   > At best, you have admitted that you only know about the poem from   
   > hearsay   
      
   I did not, Lying Michael.   
      
   , yet have quoted it from someone else's memory,   
      
   Nor did I say that I quoted it from another person's memory, Lying   
   Michael.   
      
   > and accused   
   > NancyGene of having copied it.   
      
   Nor did I accuse NastyGoon of having "copied" it (since it was not   
   copied, but changed), Lying Michael.   
      
   That's three lies in a row from you, Lying Michael, all of them attempts   
   by you to change the meaning of something I did tell you. Isn't that   
   what you were pre-emptively accusing me of doing in this thread just   
   today? Why, yes, it is. So go ahead and accuse me of playing "IKYABWAI"   
   again.   
      
   > Do you really think that's any better than if you had actually forged   
   > it?   
      
   I think the worst thing one can accuse another writer of s forgery. So   
   you go on  milking that charge; you still have over a week till the book   
   arrives.
