Your message to Pynchon-l awaits moderator approval

[David Morris]

Hey Mark,

Robin is Facebook friends with me. Through DM.  I told him that some
asshole on the P-list was saying that I drove him away from the list.

He said, *no, it wasn’t me. But it was “someone with an obsession with a
Pynchon  obsession in a tradition that included Hawthorne, and who thought
my [Robin] cross-connections  of modern anachronisms in TRPs writings were
a waste of time and pointless.”*  You know, in other words, your average,
annoying P-list participant.  Just not me.

Did Joe commit Ad Hom against me?  He’s probably to slick to have made a
direct accusation.  But Joe did specifically conflate the cause of Robin’s
being annoyed to the point of his publicly wiping the dust from his feet
when he left P-list with what Joe has been painting as my dark and
bullying presence
here.  Robin has now publicly denied that bullshit.

Joe has since repeatedly railed against my sins of aggression, and at least
twice declared to one and all that my posts were now (trashbin) dead to him
(like I give a fuck).  I just call em as I see em, and that often means
telling Joe he’s, once again, throwing a histrionic fit for ridiculous
reasons.  And, honestly, Joe’s Che-clown act makes him a very easy target.
