But clearly, not <I>everyone</I> knows he's harmless. You might consider that your own suggests that his behavior, when taken out of whatever context has approved it, is not generally okay.<BR/><BR/>And as a side note -- I'm assuming good faith, but it's not an assumption justified by your comment, which suggests irrationality if not actual trollness. Throwing out terms like "illegally harass" and "misdemeanor", for example, work to escalate rhetoric, not engage in good faith. <BR/><BR/>Laura QuilterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-1164853308210825112006-11-29T18:21:00.000-08:002006-11-29T18:21:00.000-08:00I'm sorry. You can leave your twisted bigoted cra...I'm sorry. You can leave your twisted bigoted crap in San Fran. EVERYONE knows Big Mike. EVERYONE knows he is harmless. <BR/><BR/>You looked through his collection of polaroids. Then you called HIM a "sexual harasser." Not a perv, like yourself. You, my dear, have issues. I have only heard a wee bit about your "poem" from that evening.<BR/><BR/>Please run home to San Fran, the grand locale of self-inflated, four-syllable-word-using dim-wits (albeit with "cool" tatoos and an attitude to prove it.) <BR/><BR/>Mike thinks he suffered a terrible lapse in judgement, considering your interest in his photo collection. I think you must have been drunk. Why else did you say, "Oooh, let me look" and the next, "He's a misogynist.. blah blah blah...."<BR/><BR/>Do you know what misogyny means? Google it, genius. He's a perv, not a woman-hater. In fact, his best friends are women. <BR/><BR/>I CAN NOT believe* anyone took your nasty posting ALL OVER THE INTERNETS as fact. <BR/><BR/>Think about it. You are defaming someone with inflammatory LIES. That is harassment. That is ABUSE. This post is harassment (a misdemeanor.) The things you said at the Slam were abusive. You continue to ABUSE/illegally harass another human being by spreading this crap across the internets. I am pissed as hell. <BR/><BR/>I resisted the temptation to name the names of numerous "slam" misogynists who, frankly, dear, do NOT bother you or harass you, perhaps, because they do not think they have a chance to FUCK YOU. Perhaps, you have not been called a stupid white cunt for an hour by the local Bowery veteran-poet-drunkard. Run home to San Fran, princess. <BR/><BR/>You are clueless if you think that Mike's interest in you as a subject for his photography is in any way connected to the REAL AND PRESENT problem of misogyny in the poetry scene and the cabaret arts, in general.<BR/><BR/>*Unfortunately, i DO believe it. Misogyny wins another one. Go Team Misogyny! Bring on the San Fran poetess who wouldn't know her clit from a misogynist. (yeah, I can rhyme too. i lay down my sword.) i am fed up with young women who pitch for the man's team.<BR/><BR/>ikon pic by Big MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-1164192784369016552006-11-22T02:53:00.000-08:002006-11-22T02:53:00.000-08:00Ew...skeevy and ick.That's just so wrong.Ew...skeevy and ick.<BR/><BR/>That's just so wrong.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01075991716846708838noreply@blogger.com
