This was an essay about NOT ALLOWING abuse of power through political correctness, and <em>WHAT DID SHE GO AND DO!?</em> She viciously attacked Dorothea Lasky mere days after Dorothea's first book <a href="http://wavepoetry.com/catalog/55">AWE</a> was published, and when I attempted to write about Amy's attack, siting Amy's words with links to the public list she posted them on, she used all her muscle to get me shut down, censoring the editors of DIM SUM, and censoring me on the Buffalo Poetics List when I attempted to let readers know what she had done to us! The IRONY of ironies of course is that Amy's original attack against Dorothea Lasky was ON THE BUFFALO LIST! Not only does Amy wield her Politically Correct weapons, but also her seat as moderator of the Buffalo List, doing what she wants, attacking who she wants, and NEVER allowing anyone to challenge her abuses!<br /><br />It BLOWS! MY! MIND!<br />CAConrad<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4610820322525074786-4447198078028024855?l=unexpurgatedtext.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>poet CAConradnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610820322525074786.post-53581440692336310992008-02-09T14:27:00.001-08:002008-02-22T06:30:13.223-08:00<span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>"Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in<br />itself.
