That is a good explanation, Pollster1.

Mr. John Semmens has it tough for this niche (as I have often told him) because any kind of satire is now nearly impossible to do, unless you throw in some kind of reference to zombies, vampires or the eating of human babies.

And even then.

I hope people don’t skewer Mr. Semmens on this, since we need his kind of satire on this site, if not to illustrate amply to us that, in these times, there is often not much distance between satire and reality.

Thanks for posting your explanation as well, AW...I will check out the links.

Petulance has made Semmens’ artful perspective unwelcome here.

Given all the other aggregated, stressful news crap, it’s ridiculous he’s been singled out. And I say this as a casual reader of his satire.

I recall a FReeper openly mocking him a while back... made no sense unless there was some personal vendetta.

I’m thankful John posted this piece or I would not have known about Mr. Dupree’s oppression.
