How do you know the "moderator" on the blog is an atheist?

It is true that I once had a great deal of sympathy for her.

You completely missed my point. Announcements of threats against
'family members' in an attempt to gain sympathy have a long tradition
on RGCP. I'm not impressed by people who use such alleged threats for
PR purposes.

If you want to do something constructive (for a change of pace), write
to and tell him to reissue the 1976 Papp /
NY Shakespeare production of Threepenny.

The irony of Bill Brock telling anyone else to "be constructive" is
mind-boggling.

Because I'm an atheist, I'll turn the other cheek.

Hey, I was quoting from memory.

Reprieved!

Mannheim must've tweaked the translation for the 1976 Papp production.

As I own the vinyl, I claim a moral right to the mp3's. :-)

means we shouldn't persecute wrongdoing too much."

Tracking this recording down is worth the effort!

Re the 6:05 CDT post:

obvious man said...

"Goichberg is so hated on this forum. Did he have anything to do
with the controversial move to Crossville? Did he hire friends and
family to USCF positions? Was he responsible for holding a national
tournament in Oklahoma? What, exactly, did he do to earn him vitriol?"

Goichberg decided on a personal crusade to destroy Susan Polgar
through his actions against her and her chldren as President of USCF.
As a result of this, Goichberg has earned the scorn and curses of
thousands of Susan Polgar fans from around the world.

There will be parties of celebration when Goichberg is out of
power. He has no right to soil the reputation of GM Polgar!

Pass it on!

"[A]nd her children"? Not a credible claim.

If you were in the habit of signing your name, Obvious Man, you
would not be experiencing your current problems.

Again, you mistake me for someone else. On the Internet, everyone
is a dog. As we all know, dogs have a good sense of smell and I smell
a dirty rat-like Laugherty attack.

You guys work together with Goich-nerd and Sloani to attack
innocent people. Just read Sloanis reply to the judge. It mentions not
only personal information leak to Sloani, but it attacks Susan's
children! Laugherty, you and Sloani are evil human beings! How can you
stand yourselves?

I believe my attitude towards Sloan may be on record somewhere,
most obvious man.

The opinion that Sloan has in the past advanced Goichberg's
interests is not exactly an uncommon one: I have expressed it myself.

Assuming arguendo that all you say is correct, to ascribe a
*particular vile act* by Sloan to Goichberg would seem unjustified.

THE EVOLUTION OF CRAYFISHES OF THE
GENUS ORCONECTES SECTION LIMOSUS

"The section of the limosus stock inhabitating the Pliocene
Cincinnati River and the Cincinnati Uplands was forced westward
through sluiceways nicked into the Knobstone scarp by the Muscatatuck
River. After surviving in the unglaciated re-entrant of southern
Indiana, the population spread eastward in post-Kansan times to
occupy the gently sloping west-facing flank of the Niagaran scarp in
southeastern Indiana. The species probably did not occupy a very wide
area for the Muscatatuck drainage was bounded on the east and south by
the unbeveled lip of the Niagaran limestones. Had the species reached
Laugherty Creek or the
Ohio River, O. sloani would be represented today in the crayfish fauna
of Kentucky."

Seriously for once:

A bit more than 1 1/2 years ago, I noted veiled threats to said
children (identifying their school) posted to the P forum in the
context of a discussion of S. The poster identified himself as one
A----- M-----, who at that time (as can be confirmed via readily-
available sources independent of yours truly), was a correspondent of
S-----.

(My comments allude to material deleted on both the blog and
Wikipedia.)

I say this simply to note that IMO, the threats were not imaginary.

Thanks for the context Bill.

However, linkage to Bill Goichberg seems ludicrous on its face.

It caused me to question. Does libel mean anything anymore?

I would appreciate it if *all* parties would omit the children from
the discussion going forward.

This is wise. Yet the moderator left it in on Susan's blog...

Not surprising. Gotta build up sympathy for Susie.


In my haste (something about 4/15?), I merely scanned instead of
reading & misunderstood the implied subject of "gotta."

My apologies (again!) to The Historian.

Why? The translation is painfully bad - not quite as bad as
the Blitzstein translation but still unbearable.

There is, however, a superb recording, namely the 1958 Lotte Lenya
production with several excellent Cabaret singers, in particular
Trude Hesterberg.

Traddutore, traditore....

Painfully bad? There are some infelicities in the text linked
upthread, but the Manheim/Willett translation was substantially
reworked for B'way (as I discovered between returns last night)

Don't get hung up on words or music or Raul Julia's inadequacies, but
go with the experience.

Lenya is Lenya. I've listened to the Lenya/Thurn Mahagonny (1958?) a
couple times this tax season--in fact, it's sitting on my desk.
