Jonathan Mayhew deleted a few Bemsha swinging posts for being attacks of spleen. I don't mind spleen, especially really well done spleen (Baudelaire's Bad Glazier and Beat Up The Poor come to mind, on the literature front). pettiness and irritability are part of our humanness, ok not the best part, but still. a little flintiness is cool. that's why I propose going after Jack Kimball. I'll need reasons why I should go after Jack, you know, to make the whole thing credible if not creditable. I hope I haven't read too many books on buddhism and lost my edge...
