1) Okay, I’ve hyperbolized. But certain renegade poet comedians seem to get a kick out of butchering the language to impress the incrowd. Call it making fun, but it’s just silly. And in case you wish to say that I am silly in other ways – admitted.

2) Colloquialisms and apostrophes go together sometimes, sometimes not. I don’t see how that’s related to anything.

3) Apparently you have concluded that “stuffy bastions of conservative poetry” are the same people as “renegade poet comedians” in my estimation. I hadn’t thought of it that way, but maybe they are so inconsistent as to be so. Thank you for that inspiration.

4) Have I use a passé word, “dim”? It just shows how out-of-touch I am with incrowd norms.

5) Many people on this site besides you say I am uncool, dim, dimtard or whatever the “in” terminology may be at the time. If there is no incrowd, how do you explain your comments at http://poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp;jsessionid=aweLoUJ7fS59?id=121987

6) But they use it.
7) They still use it.

8) I affect many atrocities. This is only one.

9) I should take credit when you admit a fault after I point it out. That’s the slanderous, incroud way to act. But I was not thinking of you when I wrote that.

10) No, I don’t think you are out to get me. Heck, if I leave, you’d have only CLS to pick on. So show me just enough respect that I don’t leave.
