That is not true, Susan. Edg has disliked *me* for many years now. He lit into me years ago over an "offense" that was purely and completely imaginary, happening only inside his own head, as a result of (as far as I can tell) some traumas that had happened to him earlier in life that he's still never dealt with his role in. During that imaginary episode, Edg felt no hesitation about describing me as a "sexual predator," for no other reason than me writing about meeting some nice Canadian people in a bar in Sitges. As I remember it, pretty much everyone on the forum called Edg on his idiocy in this regard, even the Judester. I pretty much wrote him off as irrelevant to anything resembling sanity at that point. My issue with what he wrote more recently is *not* over the question of whether what he wrote back in 2010 was original or not. It's with 1) the bit about feeling it was important enough to "copyright" back then and 2) still feeling slighted today because people didn't stroke him for writing it the way he obviously felt they should. That's just narcissistic thinking in my book. First, there is no need to copyright that which no one would ever *want* to rip off or steal. Second, no one owed him anything for writing it. To believe otherwise about something written to a forum that almost no one on earth reads or knows about is really moving into RWC NPD territory. 1,464 members of FFL. 6,973,738,433 people on Earth. You do the math.
