What evidence do you have, Plod, that my doctors haven't given me six
weeks to live?

If I had only six weeks to live, I might spend the time smacking morons
on Usenet, because it's good fun and requires little effort.

Why do you smackable morons constantly speculate about your betters'
lives?

Many of us had already suspected you'd passed away.

So I am pleased, and welcome back to the poetry newsgroup, Peter.

oh, i finally get it...you want him to die in some kind of imagined terminal cellular combustion explosion divined from watching and reading too much science fiction entertainment, and perhaps some experimental ventures into foreign substances, as well.

do you think it's even remotely possible that you really aren't such a hateful and bitter man, with the emotional age of 2, , but rather that you are perpetually projecting your genetically spawned survivor's guilt onto others?

Yes, a "death fantasy."

May I ask, do you know what someone fantasizes about-- in their head? Also, the person's post you were adding your affirmation to, was about projection, not fantasy >.<
FANTASY: the faculty or activity of imagining things, especially things that are impossible or improbable.
What's so wrong about it? This is supposedly a poetry/(writing) "group". You do it all the time with Shadowville.
And what wrong with a death fantasy- a fantasy about death in general?
O life with the sad seared face,
I weary of seeing thee,
And thy draggled cloak, and thy hobbling pace,
And thy too-forced pleasantry!

I know what thou would'st tell
Of Death, Time, Destiny -
I have known it long, and know, too, well
What it all means for me.

But canst thou not array
Thyself in rare disguise,
And feign like truth, for one mad day,
That Earth is Paradise?

I'll tune me to the mood,
And mumm with thee till eve;
And maybe what as interlude
I feign, I shall believe!
--"To Life" ~~Thomas Hardy

No, it was definitely a death fantasy.

Which is what Dink is doing, imagining about my death.

HTH and HAND.

> And what wrong with a death fantasy

Oh yeah, I really enjoy some obsesso having fantasies about my death, wouldn't you?
