I don't want anyone entertain the notion that I haven't been on this board for a while because of a few sophomoric (yes, it's probably spelled wrong) slights and silly asides. The board was down, and I didn't look at it for a while.
I certainly do seem to detect a high level of cattiness out there. Some people alleged that I was oblivious to the fact that film studios hire people to read manuscripts to hunt for material. Other people alleged that I had the temerity to allege that some people in the publishing world may have at some time stolen material.
We live in a world rife with crime and corruption and malfeasance. (Take a look at the shnook occupying the White house). Lawyers have been liars (John Mitchell, Roy Cohen), doctors have been killers (Mengele), and priests have been perverts. (Witness the plethora of priests playing with young boys.) Are we to assume that men in the publishing industry are virginal and bereft of all sin.
Also, I didn't allude to Marxism to be edgy. I have been attracted to it, with some reservations, for years. And this attraction is not some pseudo radical, parlor-pink, 60's ish, affectation. I have represented socialist organizations in federal court. (Hell, my family came to this country because they were afraid the Tzar would send Uncle Morris to Siberia for his revolutionary proclivities.)
I never intended, and do not intend, harm.
