That's a distortion of what I've actually written in
this forum. It's the brain-dead character
assassination -- Malign and NeedaLife suggesting that
Pynchon fraudulently presented his essay on Watts as a
first-person report, for example -- that I object to.
Obviously, some people don't enjoy Pynchon's works. I
think it's funny to see some of them spending so much
time in this forum, slinging mud without providing any
sort of credible argumentation to support the insults
-- like your claim that Pynchon writes "shitty"
essays, a provocative statement (you admit as much,
that you're saying it just to get a rise out of Otto)
offered without any critique. If you'd like to talk
more about why you think his essays are "shitty" and
illustrate that with examples, then you'd have
something worth discussing. Otherwise, it's just a
scatological pot-shot. That misses the pot.
