I think I've inadvertantly screwed up and I apologize. As a
regular reader and sometime participant on Harlan Ellison's
board, a place where people regularly mention places they've
come across Harlan's name or his work, I mentioned that he
was being mentioned over here. I think that since he is
occasionally attacked on other websites, concern was
expressed.
As I said, I put myself in the middle by conveying the news,
and Harlan himself made this request:
-------------------------------------------- Would you kindly
go to "rara avis" -- a Latin phrase that goes way way back
before Hammett used it -- and tell Richard Moore thank you
for the kind words, and advise him that no matter what he
THINKS he saw in the video...
I DID NOT... I HAVE NEVER... EVER... GROPED CONNIE WILLIS'S
TIT.
I need no foregiveness, because it didn't happen.
Similarly, despite how many times it's repeated, or how
widely believed, I never threw a fan down an elevator shaft,
I never dropped a chandelier on a ballroom full of
meet-&-greets, no "big blonde" in an elevator ever called
me "little fuck," and
I DID NOT EVER TOUCH CONNIE WILLIS'S TIT.
And I'm pretty fuckin' tired of hearing it over and
over.
Please pass that along, verbatim, if you will be so
kind.
Oh, and by the way, if anyone--Mr. Moore included--would like
to read an accurate refutation of the sillyass Willis-tit
canard, they can find it in a recent edition of THE FREE
PAPER, published in Cleveland. With photo.
Yr. Pal, Harlan
------------------------------------------------------ For my
part, I am very sorry I communicated anything to anyone and
would dearly like to pass away lonely and forgotten.
