Bradbury's Awesome Legacy
I say this to protect Ray's legacy from himself. He's getting very old and grumpy and his mind is slipping. Ray, you did great. We love you for what you wrote. Thank you. This flap about Michael Moore taking your title is not your best moment, but it's insignifigant compared to your contributions to society.

You're probably tired of hearing this, but Moore's title is his own, copyrighted, he made it up. It's a reference to your title. It's protected speech and it's his own copyrighted title of his own excellent intellectual work. It's not yours and you can't have it back because he took nothing from you.

Gee what would Ray do without you carefully protecting his legacy from himself?

"insignifigant?"
What's that about "mind slipping" ?

"mind slipping"?

That's what happens when you spell it... 'mulitifarious'.

Gee, I hope white_pyth0n isn't related to Bruno Richard Hauptmann!

Kind of a random comment that misses the scores of posts that have already made that point.

First of all, the title is not Michael Moore's and he did not make it up. I have backed my statements many times in other threads and I invite you to view my comments.

This is a general statement to all Michael Moore fans on this board.

We are here to discuss Mr. Bradbury's work. Discussion concearning the dispute between MM and Bradbury is welcomed, but I find it very unneccasary for every MM fan who comes here to start a new thread telling Mr. Bradbury that he is old and senile... First of all, I think that he is well aware of his age. Secondly, I think that if he were diagnosed as senile he would know of it by now, but he has not been so I don't think it is appropriate or neccasary in either case to tell him that he is senile. Please leave these comments out of the conversations because they are irrelevant statements.
