Anyway, if you read closely you'll see a few pro-slag comments scattered amongst the various responses herein as well so I assume that <STRONG><EM>some</EM></STRONG> readers enjoy the current albeit at-times "negative" tone of this blog. Besides, it's not as if I've been <STRONG><EM>constantly</EM></STRONG> pounding on Hinman, Lang (or even Shimamoto) even though all three certainly deservce a lot more than what they have received at my hands, and believe me I've really had to restrain myself a times with regards to going overboard in expressing my hatred of all three. I guess it's all open as to the reader's own views regarding this ever-continuing rampage, though frankly I would compare what I've been doing to what people like Steve Hesske have done to Fred Mills, and personally I think I come off rather mellow next to the personal attacks that Fred had been receiving thanks to Hesske nigh on two decades back.Christopher Stiglianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107248034597839482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910067.post-1129745193568180462005-10-19T14:06:00.000-04:002005-10-19T14:06:00.000-04:00I actually do like Agony Shorthand and Jay Hinman ...I actually do like Agony Shorthand and Jay Hinman a great deal, but I do notice that in his reviews of Please Kill Me and We Got The Neutron Bomb/Lexicon Devil he rags on early NY and LA punks in a moralistic fashion for being drug addicts and screwups. He obviously doesn't understand what the whole scene was about in the early days -that was a big part of it. I don't know personally about early SF but that seemed to be quite similar. <BR/><BR/>BTW, Chris, you realize that your slagging off Hinman is probably the least interesting part of your blog, and really turns off the readers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910067.post-1129425690136118522005-10-15T21:21:00.000-04:002005-10-15T21:21:00.000-04:00The thought of a phantom Dave Lang is especially t...The thought of a <EM>phantom</EM> Dave Lang is especially troublesome.Christopher Stiglianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107248034597839482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910067.post-1129421181496048302005-10-15T20:06:00.000-04:002005-10-15T20:06:00.000-04:00That above comment was NOT posted by me - the real...That above comment was NOT posted by me - the real Dave LangAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910067.post-1129395833302068562005-10-15T13:03:00.000-04:002005-10-15T13:03:00.000-04:00DOn't you tire of demeaning mine and Jay Hinman's ...DOn't you tire of demeaning mine and Jay Hinman's Blog? OK, so we're not as cool and cutting edge as you. BIG DEAL.
