not plagiarizing Lewis Hines, she's trying to make celebrities look
deeper than a kiddie pool using all sorts of contrived poses.
Most glue-sniffers in here who saw that photo checked ebay every day
to see if they could bid on the saddle in that photo.

Lewis Hine (note correct spelling)? Avedon maybe, but Hine, no way. You
don't know [censored] about cycling and you know less about photography.

Oh I see, if you spell a word wrong in an email it means you know
nothing about the entire subject. You'd think a guy like yourself who
gives trite lectures about spelling to Jesus would know that proper
nouns such as first names are always capitalized, "dave."
This isn't bad. Our silverbacked friend tries to deflect the discussion
to his least disastrous (though perhaps, ironically, most telling)
error, and then makes an assertion about first names that might surprise
bell hooks.
But it feels a little phoned in. I think the volume of posts these days
is wearing our hirsute friend down. Quality, Magilla, not quantity.

backs up my allegation that Leibobitch plagiarized Lewis Hiney, and not
[censored] Avedon:

Hm. This fascinatingly says that she shot some playful homages to Hine,
but doesn't mention the Armstrong shot.
I'm pretty sure you have no idea what you're talking about, and probably
only skimmed that article and hoped nobody would notice it wouldn't back
up your half-baked claims. But hey, you can't google them all.

Thinking of you, ya dumb ape:

workplace).

Verdict: Magilla doesn't know what he's talking about. He grabbed a few
half-remembered critiques of Leibowitz using a search engine, and failed
to even deploy them successfully in his argument. Sentence: 78 months in
supervillain prison, and six months without mentioning velodromes.
