Vulgar narcissist Daniels
-------------------------
Checking the Equinox Publishing site for my amusement to see what the
six hairless British birds are up to, I've found more hilarious stuff
about PeteY's eventually published *doomed* book.

The first point of amusement is the shifting number of pages.

When I mentioned that PeteY's *doomed* book is *224* pages, as listed on
their site, he "corrected" me by claiming it's *xvi + 236* pages.

Checking their site a couple of days ago, I see that the birds changed
End Matter
Maps 189-196
Peter T. Daniels <=================== !!!
References 197-218 { 22 pp.! }
Peter T. Daniels <=================== !!!
Indexes 219-236 { 18 pp.! }
Peter T. Daniels <=================== !!!
The students and "general readers," at whom PeteY's *doomed* book is
aimed, will be thrilled when consulting the *40* pages of References and Indexes.

But now to the second point of amusement: PeteY's *vulgar narcissism*.

Books, scholarly and otherwise, show the name of a single author *3*
(three) times: on the front cover of the book, on the spine of the book,
and on the title page; occasionally also on the copyright page.

Vulgar narcissist PeteY, however, insists that his name,
"Peter T. Daniels", is shown *19* (nineteen) times!

Has *anyone* ever seen a single-author book boasting such
attention-whoring, shameless, vulgar narcissism by insisting that the
author's name be exhibited ostentatiously *19* times???

Scholars, who by chance may see PeteY's *doomed* book, will be aghast
seeing that ostentatious vulgarian's name *19* times and put it back
unread in the library's stacks.

And those poor British birds at Equinox, who apparently don't have
enough sense to delete the *16* extraneous namings of "Peter T. Daniels"
and who apparently can't afford a competent editor who would have
deleted PeteY's superfluous names, will regret to their dying days for
having their outfit ridiculed and besmirched by publishing that vulgar
and financially devastating *doomed* compilation.

Turns out that sociopaths have never in their life looked at a publisher's page
for a book.

Authors have no say in web page design or content, beyond supplying summaries
of chapters that were not intended to be published in such a way.

Cut the bullshit, bullshitting PeteY. I don't know what sociopaths
do, but I have been in the publishing business for 43 years and do
know what's going on. I also had books published in Germany, the USA,
and England and thus am familiar with other publishers' pages.

Bullshit! I also can't imagine that scholarly authors like
Athel and Laura had no say in the *content* of their works.

Bullshit! Irrational and irrelevant. "Victim" PeteY lets six
British birds boss him around. What a wimpy loser!

Funny you should say that. I was thinking only today that snidely
thinks that grown ups don't try to correct PTD's misstatements, but he
apparently does think that grown ups hide their names. I don't think
it's his case, but there are many anonymous cowards on Twitter etc. who
write things about others -- especially women -- that they wouldn't

Is 'battle-nym' the same as 'nom de guerre'? I am not clear about the
difference between 'nom de guerre' and 'nom de plume' in French. The
former is not much used in English whereas the latter is more common.

In French, a "nom de guerre" applies to all fields and may have not
been self-attributed by the person who receives it, whereas "nom de
plume" is limited to writing and refers to the name a writer deliberately
uses in their activity.

The same seems to hold true in English.

So, the modern internet term 'nym' would be 'nom de plume' (or maybe
even 'nom de clavier' ;-)?

Dang! That was this week's Sunday Puzzle on NPR. Think of a familiar French
phrase, three words, 3-2-5 letters. The first word, and the first word of the
English translation, sound like a world capital.

Send in the answer before 3:00 on Thursday and maybe you'll be selected to play
Puzzle on the air with Will Shortz.

Tune in to your local NPR station at 8:40 EST Sunday to find out how many
correct answers they received. I imagine this was one of the easiest, so
they'll have above 2000 correct answers.

Curiously, only "More than 1400" correct answers were submitted. The fellow who was picked at
random explained that he knew "nom de plume" from a song from *Aladdin*, and when he was saying
out loud, "nom, pen," his partner observed "I think that's a place in Asia somewhere." He then
"looked it up" and discovered Phnom Penh (though how he did that without knowing the spelling
isn't clear). The host then pointed out to Will Shortz that the official NPR pronunciation does
include the P, but she'd allow him poetic license this time.

You're just another lowly scumbag, Daniels.

You read what I posted last night. I did not see the earlier
conversation that mentioned Nom de Plume. I thought of the phrase
because I remembered a 1956 TV program by the same name.

God, fella, you lie so much you think everybody else does. You are
one sad son of a bitch.

In French, a "nom de guerre" applies to all fields and may have not
been self-attributed by the person who receives it, whereas "nom de
plume" is limited to writing and refers to the name a writer deliberately
uses in their activity.
The same seems to hold true in English.
Dang! That was this week's Sunday Puzzle on NPR. Think of a familiar French
phrase, three words, 3-2-5 letters. The first word, and the first word of the
English translation, sound like a world capital.
Phnom Penh.
Did you figure that out all by yourself?
Of course. Nom de Plume - Pen name
Easy-Peasy.
Especially when the answer is given three lines above where the riddle started.
You're just another lowly scumbag, Daniels.
You read what I posted last night.
I didn't read anything last night. I actually fell asleep during a "City
Cinematheque" presentation of *Little Lord Fauntleroy* (I can't imagine what
the 1930s audience saw in Freddie Bartholomew -- especially when he was cast
opposite the dynamic Mickey Rooney) and turned out the light without coming
back to the computer.

I did not see the earlier
conversation that mentioned Nom de Plume. I thought of the phrase
because I remembered a 1956 TV program by the same name.
God, fella, you lie so much you think everybody else does. You are
one sad son of a bitch.
You managed to read the riddle without reading the paragraph quoted immediately
above it. Someone's credibility is strained, and it ain't mine.

It was easy - but harder because I did not read that the previous
discussion mentioned "nom de plume".

I thought of phrase because there used to be a TV program by that name
(1956 series) and it's one of the few French phrases I know.

Yes, in the sense that the aspiration of the 'P' produces a puff of air.
Still, I must admit that I don't pronounce the 'h' in 'Penh".

I arrived at the answer myself, although I wasn't really sure of
it. I didn't think anyone would think the initial P should be
dropped, even if they did so themselves, but that the answer was
just "close enough" - as many riddles are when looked at from
other dialects of English. I have complained several times about
how finding rhyming words is more difficult when they don't rhyme
in your dialect (did I mention the choco taco?)

Yes, in the sense that the aspiration of the 'P' produces a puff of air.
Then, to make it significant, you shouldn't do the same in "Penh".
That's actually what the spelling p/ph means in this case.
Post by Peter Moylan
Still, I must admit that I don't pronounce the 'h' in 'Penh".
Apparently it stands for a palatalization, similar to the sounds
in digne/gnocchi/niño. Now if you also read the o in Phnom as [u],
you get quite close to the local pronunciation.

Fuck off, you anonymous coward.
Funny you should say that. I was thinking only today that snidely
thinks that grown ups don't try to correct PTD's misstatements, but he
apparently does think that grown ups hide their names. I don't think
it's his case, but there are many anonymous cowards on Twitter etc. who
write things about others -- especially women -- that they wouldn't
dare to say openly.
I believe recent studies show no such difference between users of
real names and pseudonyms.

Reinhold, you are showing distinct tendencies of pathological stalking.
I wonder what the equivalent of a restraining order within a newsgroup
would be, if enforceable?
"You shall not post within 5 posts of Mr. Daniels, when in 'threaded
view'. Furthermore, you shall adhere to the golden rule of Usenet by not
including a person's name in the 'Subject' of a post."
Back in 1999 a disagreement in the newsgroup rec.alpine.skiing
escalated to the point of death threats. A judge in Seattle banned
one of the participants, Scott Abraham, from posting in the newsgroup
for a year. It was the first (and so far as I know, only) case of
such a legal ruling being issued. It caused a bit of a controversy
at the time and was reported in a number of media outlets. Here are
links to a _Seattle Times_ story and a _Wired_ article about it:

http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19991117&slug=2995869
https://www.wired.com/1999/11/usenet-ban-a-slippery-slope/

I never visited that newsgroup myself, but I was participating in the
newsgroup creation process in news.groups back around that time and
some of the r.a.s. regulars were trying to get a moderated version
of the newsgroup called rec.alpine.skiing.moderated created, mostly to
keep "Scotty" out. He showed up in the discussions and was, from what
I remember, quite unpleasant and seemed to me to be rather "eccentric"
(to put it mildly).

Correction: The newsgroup is rec.skiing.alpine (I had the last two

twenty years since this happened and I was writing from memory until

Arschitect Harvey Van Fuckle has been stalking me for more than 15
years, sniping at me from behind his safe killfile.

According to that cowardly asshole, stalking/harassment is a
"particularly sensitive personal issue" for me. What a crazy bastard!

Say, Shaky, IIRC, is your child-molestation conviction in Canada and
then fleeing from justice to England decades ago a particularly
sensitive personal issue for you?
