Like I said, it's not just the fact that there appears to be a
personal agenda, but also factual inaccuracies and a basic aesthetic
position that is at odds with most of the Dickman poems I have seen.
So my dismissal, if there is one, is more than just a few isolated
parts. More important to note, I'm not trying to end the discussion,
but adding to it with my mostly contrary opinion-- is the only way the
discussion can continue is by everyone voicing agreement?
