Bans and Edicts

As per an edict from Pete Gleeson, Lorenzo is banned from being mentioned on this web log. Pete, who is generally horrified and disgusted that I started this here thing in the first place, reminds that old men who blog about their cats should be taken out back and pumped full of salt-shot. I’m not an old man, I told him, but I take his point. He says that I actually don't know what a "blog" should contain, even though I write one, or what a "blog" is, even. He might be right. He also points out that I should give up calling it a “web log” already, it’s a BLOG. Call it what it is, he says. Don’t be pretentious, he says. For someone who is opposed to WEB LOGS, Pete is awfully full of opinions about them.

Derek Weiss swears Pete writes a secret one somewhere under a fake name. Derek spends time looking for it. I for one would not be shocked. It would explain why Pete hasn’t written a decent story or line of poetry in about a year. Now that I wrote that: we’ll have lots of things to talk about at the next Poetics Council meeting.
