Quincy,
I would wager that it's also generally considered bad form (and looked upon as "sour grapes"
) to publicly attack an editor's choice as Philip has done. And after all Alex does to keep
Able Muse and Eratosphere a thriving artistic community . . .
I'm sure Alex had a tough time deciding on which poems, stories and essays to nominate for these prizes, considering the pool of talent he had to choose from.
How would
you feel if someone publicly panned you and/or Anna for
TRR's nominations in such terms? You'd probably want to tell them to f*** off. At least Alex is being quite restrained in his responses.
