Are Eye Pee

It's inevitable I suppose
on a blog that does decry
those features of the Double You Em Ay
to comment upon Ess Eff Eye.

It's been around for many years
A battle ground were many do aim
to fight for wider credability
to fight for their own 'name'.

Puffed up self important twats
slap dicks upon the table
and argue about the finer points of utterly utterly tedious passages in manuscripts that the rest of us are uninterested in or find of little use when sparring or simply know already because it's soooo blooody obvious
but we follow as best we're able.

Hah! I bet you didn't think
that last verse would actually scan
But sometimes it is good to get
as much into a line as one can.

For comic effect.
So there.
Aaaanyway...

Despite the tiresome back and forth
that grace these academic travails
it's not the content that entertains
the Devil's not in the Details.

It's the argument itself that's fun.

The academic shuffling
I find a tedious read
but in all honesty most seem to think
that it's fun to watch 'names' breed

contempt for one another,
and contempt for that foul forum
regardless of the content
the arguments do seldom bore 'em.

It's not a place for reasoned talk
or collaboration
it's a place to strut and puff and huff
and strut and stride before the congregation
shouting
'I am best!',
'I know better!',
'You're a petty prole!'
'I've studied this stuff longer than you,
so shut your yapping hole!'
'Don't argue with me you little man!'
'With your trolling don't you bait!'
'I've studied this topic since time began!'
'And, the moderator's my best mate!'

No more reasoned talk
It's all a waste of breath
For it's now a circus full of clowns
It's a cage fight to the death.

And it's day 5 million of the Silver debate in the big brother household.

So settle down, enjoy the show
and perhaps you might take a look
in the advert breaks of this Hemazon
and purchase my new book.
