Screw This, Ban Me

[rach2jlc]

Sorry, I just found your reading recommendation rather patronising. As though those who have defended baby in the past ought to have known all along that behind that unconventional prose, a boot bandit was lurking. My point is not that he is just like Genet, but that one thing really has nothing to do with the other. If you find his writing annoying, fine; but there's no need to condescend to those of us who don't.

Anyway, I'd assume he's gone for good now, so i guess there's not much more to discuss...I do hope for the sake of the buyers that he hasn't really pulled a scam.

Fair enough... and very true. :)

Cheers!

Punk gets too much play here.

More importantly, Laika has a new signature!

Actually, it's Andre Breton, but I guess you don't like him either.

I was joking... which was why I deleted my post.

Anyway, Breton-schmeton. Genet-schmenet. Really, those guys make me want to swallow my own tongue; they took faux-intellectual circle-jerking to new heights. ;)

I give credit where I think credit is due and I'll go against the current when I feel like it's necessary... and I felt that way in regards to the aforementioned poster. I generally try to be really supportive to members and I rarely... if ever... make waves; but something just didn't sit right with me there. Anyway, as you said earlier, though, it's all moot... he's gone now, so it doesn't matter.

Anyway, cheers and Happy Holidays!

As for "baby," I think a bit of reading on his sales thread might be in order for his chief defenders; the great "poet" and conceptual artist du jour seems to have sold the same shoes and jacket multiple times. VERY poetic... maybe that's just his brilliant way to contribute to "anarchy." Then again, some of us might have another name for it... stealing?

On his defense for sales practices he could have taken my money from an Ann D. coat sale but he did return the funds to me promptly when he could have fucked me over. I believe many people have bought from him in the past and received items...a lot of members post on multiple sites with the same item(s) for sale. So for now, I believe it's unfair to claim he is stealing money, unless he has personally done this to you...

Sigh... the discussion/argument was over, I thought.

Others can read the threads and make up their own minds; I'm not forcing them to believe anything. I was simply posting that in case others hadn't seen the info in question on the other thread as regardless the situation there seems suspicious.

Anyway, this is the last post I'm making on this topic, on that poster, and in this thread. I leave my comments as written for others to make up their own minds; my opinion and such are pretty clear in the matter.

As Faust said, the guy is getting too much traffic/attention as it is. I say let's just put it to rest.

Cheers!

they said you were hot stuff
and that's what baby's been reduced to

[rach2jlc]

^Geesh, cry me a river you guyzzz. Here, I've made something for you all. In the spirit of Virgil, I give you....


Baby: An Elegy

I sing of shoes and the man
Who as first (amongst the Zeitgeits)
Came under the Banhammer's Wrath
And now in flight is driven by fate.

Alas, dear baby, where have you gone?
You who, with no caps and not a hint of punctuation
Did make SZ into a frenzied landscape
of ruined fragments, dropping hints of anarchy
like snowflakes that become dirtied
by the black ashes of the Moderator's Hand.

You, Baby! We seek you,
You who told us of "bitches" and "niggaz"
Who dared not hide the awful truth
behind that dowdy black sofa
In front of which you showed us so much "ars povera."

You, Baby! We mean you,
You who showed us Ann D and MMM and Rick,
And who loved her jackets so much
That you sold the same one, thus, thrice.

Gone are you now... banished... hidden... removed.
Can we recover? Can we come back?
Though we may not know that answer, dear one,
We know only that your Holy Grail Poop, being sold again,
Will come and perhaps give your paypal account
Fresh blessings for the new year.

nah faust i don't think he was referring to a particular 'everyone', just the arbitrary invisible/nonexistent force holdin him down (ie. "The Man")

i think it's kinda like when Pete Doherty sang "fuck forever" obviously you can't fuck time lolwut
