pynchon-l-digest V2 #6673

You post to the list, I post to the list.  I rarely post people 
personally.

And I suppose it is ad hominem but, objectively speaking, you are a 
pompous gas bag.


Since you are (a) launching yet another of your trademark personal 
attacks, (b)
basing your 'argument' on the straw-man claim that I think I know what 
P thinks
of another author, and (c) an irritating but ultimately pathetic wee 
scrote, I'm
not going to bother reading any more of the email you sent to the 
p-list but
mysteriously omitted to cc directly to me. So you'll have to work 
*that* out.

Ahhhhh, MalignD. Like that feeling of chemically induced nausea you get 
after
eating at McDonalds, the familiarity helps to take the edge off the
unpleasantness...

You rather20idiotically assume that I assume that my opinion of McEwan 
is also
Pynchon's? Where did I say anything which even vaguely suggested that I 
think
any such thing? I did not say "Pynchon pitched in to defend McEwan, 
despite the
fact that Pynchon regards McEwan's work as mediocre."
