Apology Requested.

Mr. Colin Hamilton

I have always hesitated to respond to your Daily Detritus fearing it might burnish even more your over-active ego. 

And there was the observation of G.K. Chesterton nagging at my mind, “If you argue with a madman, it is extremely probable that you will get the worst of it; for in many ways his mind moves all the quicker for not being delayed by the things that go with good judgment.”

My sympathy is extended to anybody who happens to read your blog (as opposing to deleting or blocking it) as they receive endless outpourings which are factually incorrect, insulting, very often downright stupid and even contradictory. 

I and a few others have read your despicable and sometimes obscene postings with patience, aware as we are of your delicate condition. 

Nearly every one of your references to us has been untrue as well as being libelous. The only deterrent so far to sueing you on this count is your lack of courage to defend yourself in court, your preference being to scuttle away to hide rather than settling the damages awarded. 

On to the "rattling the donation box in your face". You must know this is completely without foundation.   Having consumed more than your fair share of doughnuts and coffee it seemed perfectly reasonable to offer you the box prior to your departure. 

It was 25 pesos. (about two dollars) 

Don't go to the theatre if you haven't the price of a ticket.  (Alternatively a Quiet word about your plight beforehand would have evoked sympathy. We don't have ESP.

There was NO rattling of the contribution box. Indeed there was no opportunity for making any utterance. Merely seeing the box sent you into orbit bellowing that I was attempting to humiliate you; that you would have ÿour friends in the Police "hammering at my door at 3 in the morning" plus various other threats.

I said NOTHING.   

I and others remember the incident vividly. How could we not - witnessing this giant of a man behaving like some demented child? 

Contrary to  your nature though it might be you really should try aiming for accuracy.  

Only a couple of weeks  ago you lamented Don Gallery's death since he would have told the truth about the occasion. (Today TWO occasions, apparently) . The truth is that Don asked you to leave and not return. 

NOW you suddenly claim to my astonishment Don wasn't even THERE! You point a finger at Doug Danielson who wasn't present at that particular meeting.  

You really must get your facts together before reaching for your poisonous pen.  

Furthermore your story is embroidered with each telling. First it was a matter of rattling, then rattling plus remarks, now rattling with ugly bullshit"  

I know of only one person who dispenses THAT. 

Now to your other foolishness.

FOR  weeks you have accused myself and at least two other members of the Writers Group of being criminals.  If we are, our felonies exist only in your sadly corrupted mind. 

A regular theme has been your claims that the CIA had been at work, intimidating me over my possibly including any work of yours in print. It's a rich seam of invention. You then changed your mind to state other ridiculous reasons for your work being excluded. 

And the facts?

Your piece was accepted by the judges and actually appears in the volume although it only just made the list  How many copies would you like to buy? I need to repeat your need to check facts before throwing mud!  How ridiculous it makes you appear - posting those scathing puerile comments and fanciful reasons for your work being rejected - - - when the opposite was the truth.

Hardly the accomplishment of a reliable reporter, I would say. 

Consequently I look forward to receiving an apology addressed to myself, the other libeled members of the Group and the Group itself - which you choose to refer to as "Ä Ship of Fools".  Were that the case you would be over-qualified to take the helm.

And I Replied:

Oh Pish-Posh.

I dare say you've been drinking -- or does your "return" key just stick a lot???
