[AGL] Fw: re promoting the RagBlog Web site on AGL

[Michael Eisenstadt]

mean spirited? not compared to what you said about me on
the Ragstaff maillist.

puffing your RagBlog which is sectarian and excludes voices
other than your own is not appropriate here.

now you are more a ghettoista than moi. what next?

-------------------------

Feel free to die or to migrate?
Mike, this is all rather mean-spirited.
A minute ago you were giving me a history lesson and saying I should go off
the list because I was ignorant of the ghetto and it's legacy. Now, as it
turns out I have just as much connection to the Ghetto as you have, maybe
more, the reason changes: The Rag Blog is sectarian.
I'm confused.

many of the folks named below have died or migrated to Fontaine's
converstation pit. please feel free to do so as well.

if you have something of your own that you have composed yourself
rather than endless lists of www.www.net references to articles other
people have written, please feel free to post them here.

promotion of your RagBlog Web site which is edited in a narrow
sectarian way and which excludes opinions other than yours is not
appropriate here.

Mike,
I know what the Ghetto was. I was there many times. I had good friends who
lived there -- Clark Santos, Mike Hanks, Roger Baker. I went to Ghetto
parties. Tary Owens was a dear friend and associate. Over the years friends
and colleagues have included Jack Jackson, Billy Lee Brammer, Jim Baldauf,
(Billy) Jim Strong, Bob Simmons, Byron Black, David McQueen, Stephanie
Chernikowsi, Wayne and Honor Johnson, Ed Guinn, Houston White, Vickie Lynn
Devereaux. Those come to mind. I believe at least some of them lived in the
Ghetto complex. I knew Fontaine and Kathy Doyle and Pepi Plowman and others
then, though I know them better now.
