I have to say, I don't require to be viewed as blameless-- at various points along the line, I've overreacted, taken unnecessary jabs, sometimes accepted blame and and famously done the bad bad heresay-repeating thing. And I also really don't require Eb to leave the list. I do think that his reign as the bitter queen has gone on long enough and he might want to try to be a little less of a provocateur, but whatever. He demands nothing more than mass moral outrage against me and is increasingly spazzing because he's not getting it. I'm kinda sticking with my general view that he's a jerk, always has been and probably always will be, but the more he explodes, the more I see that as its own punishment. So no, total victory doesn't really enter my mind here, and I don't want anyone else to have take sides or anything. Most of the folks who chime in seem to be fine with both Eb and myself, just not the two of us in combo. I'm pretty okay with that. - -SER ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 12:37:21 -0500 From: The Great Quail Subject: Magic Broomes For my two cents....

I was wondering for a moment whether this was still the place to discuss Robyn Hitchcock or if it had given way to being the Eb v Rex list... Anyhow, I see lots of familiar names still here, so hi to everyone from the good ole days - James, Quail, of course Woj, and everyone else I might have conversed with in the past. Are the Susans still here? I was at the Sunday night Syd tribute gig a few weeks ago - thoroughly great gig as the Three Kings ones always are (I was also at the "Naff Hits from the 70s" and White Album gigs). I was briefly introduced to someone called Charlotte, before two friends I brought with me were enthusiastically vying for her attention - if you're on the list do drop me a mail to say hello. My friend Peter mentioned about a Sgt. Pepper's Three Kings gig in the summer... can't wait if that's the case! I enjoyed reading the review of the Zodiac gig - the Zodiac's a great little venue. I spent a few years in Oxford (when I was first on this list), just at the time that local boys Radiohead and Supergrass followed Ride's brief success. It was a good time to be in Oxford - I remember regularly seeing Thom Yorke, Gaz Coombes and the rest around Oxford, particularly propping up bars up the Cowley Road. At the end of my time in Oxford Radiohead had become massive with The Bends, and put on a "secret" homecoming gig at the Zodiac... posters only went up the night before, advertising a band "R * D * O * E * D" were playing the Zodiac the next night, and to get tickets you had to come to the venue at midday. There was a huge line and it obviously sold out... and some of my friends who thought it was a wind-up were kicking themselves. One of the show's highlights was a solo acoustic set from Thom during which he forgot the words to one of the songs. I'm hoping the rest of REM will again be joining Robyn & V3 at the Islington gig tomorrow night... has anyone heard anything? Even if not, I'm expecting a great gig - it seems like the band are really hitting their stride at the moment... I saw them as the Minus 3 at the Scala last year, and it sounds like they've gone from strength to strength since. Finally, a shameless plug... the band I've been in for the past few years is The Poppy Seeds, and we're kicking off this year's gigs by playing at The Betsey Trotwood in Farringdon (London) next Friday (19th)... would be great to see some of you there! Details and a flyer are on our website www.thepoppyseeds.com, and we've also got the obligatory MySpace page at www.myspace.com/thepoppyseedsuk (do add us as a friend if you're on MySpace too!).

Rather than bothering to defend myself agains the constant name calling, I started giving his putdowns ratings. Eb conceives of himself as an artiste in shitting on people, so that seemed like a service as much as anything else. Honestly, Ebby is the one seeming to be succumbing to "hysteria" this time out. I'm making jokes, Erica is shouting "You no longer deserve to be on this list" and such overwrought drama. Quail, I know you feel that my personal odiousness makes Eb's slashing at me justified, but you must realize that others see it as unprovoked needling, and have said so. Having said that, I am joining Chris in a public call for Eb to stop > responding to Rex's provocations. Dude, you got the names reversed there. Historically Eb has jabbed at me just for being who I am, and I've only gotten pissed when attacked. Lately I've taken some potshots, but if you read 'em as intended, they're all softballs, not lowballs. It's no secret what I think of Rex, and I > know that it's really hard to stay quiet when you are under attack.

He still wants to put me before a tribunal for crimes against humanity or some shit. I'm still nonplussed by why he's offended when the snake he's been poking for ten years occasionally bites him-- and for God's sake, I mostly just dealt with it until a few years back when he just started going after me for not liking my face or internet personality or whatever. It was pretty heated for a while on my part, admittedly. That kind of ended when he humiliated himself by posting an offlist comment of mine to the list. Then it became briefly funny to me. Now it's just sad and I wish he could cool off and work out his issues in some healthier venue. Therapy has value, but I don't think others need to be hurt in order for someone to feel better about themselves.

Really is getting tiresome, Rex/Eb. There is nothing new being said between you two. It's been said before: Rex, you are ruining your rep as a nice guy. I like you and all but, come on. Eb, I would hate to see you leave the list, please don't, but please ignore and don't poke Rex. Same goes if you reverse your names in the preceeding sentence. Michael Wells: I'm really not upset with you. But if you enjoyed the Monochrome Set's "fin" live album (one I'm actually not a huge fan of) you would love Space Shower a bootleg I have from 1992.

Would it help if I reframe it as a "retraction"? I honestly think that the reason that you're the one fuming and exploding this time around, while I've been kind of jovially smirking my way through with my tongue firmly in cheek, is that I'm uncomfortably close to the sad reality of your life. Once again, I am sorry for passing on inappropriate heresay. I owe you nothing more, particularly seeing as you've never copped to setting off the whole thing with your widely-observed and commented-on constant needling of me.

Horseshit. I've poked you-- and rather gently of late-- when you act out and get all high, mighty, and nasty. I don't need a whipping boy. I don't enjoy conflict. I'd rather it all go away. And your armchair analysis of my mental state is way off base, in terms of both psychology and reality. I don't want to dignify it by responding, really, but it's a massively flawed thesis: you think I was *more* stable when enduring a deteriorating, abusive marriage than I am three years after having gotten out of it, started a new family, established a new career and left a whole lot of destructive nonsense behind? I'm happier and more comfortable and less stressed-out than I've ever been. That just goes to further demonstrate how limited your understanding of normal human relationships and growth work. Too much Neal LaBute, I guess. >One inch.

Check the two responses to Brian. The difference between "succinct, even-keel and good-humored" and "rambling, shrill and sniveling" is illustrated once again. As well as the unlikelihood of Rex/Cathy being able to ever close his emotional floodgates and stop bawling about me. The funny thing is that for all Rex's whining about me not inserting enough "Hitch content," I have in recent days... 1) posted my thoughts on Ole! Tarantula (which went totally unanswered), 2) posted a link to a large 2006 critics poll, noting Hitchcock's rank (which went totally unanswered) and 3) inquired about recent Hitchcock songs showcasing piano. During the same period, Rex was mostly preoccupied with flailing at me, my penis and the Dresden Dolls (the latter with self-conscious intensity, in the hopes of upsetting me and/or my penis). So...all hail Rex, model Hitchcock fan. I still wonder: How long does he have to go on irrationally squalling before people start acknowledging just how badly "broken" he is? (But whatever you do, be sure not to call him immature, because to that's the same as threatening to stalk his children.) Is anyone really buying his intermittent pose about me being the one with the "exploding head" who's escalating all the fights? Let's just remember that this is the same twit who even tried to pick a fight simply because I observed that people were agreeing with my points about the last Sonic Youth album. Anyone who saw the death throes of Rex's shredded MySpace page knows the REAL reason why he's locked in perpetual PMS. The most pivotal exchange of this whole fight was him saying "Dude, you are not one of my problems" and me answering "Perhaps not, but clearly I am the one whom you take your problems OUT on."

On the first front, other than reacting to you being a jerk to me, what have I written that indicates the slightest amount of dissatisfaction with life in general? Nothing I can think of.

Bottom line: nobody, and I mean nobody at all, not even your pal Quail, buys the argument that I am unstable, much less completely, dangerously insane, and the truth is that even you don't believe it for a second. Again, time to move on. You can stop embarrassing yourself any time now, Stalk-O. - -SER ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V16 #6 ******************************
