old boys & girls club

EXHIBIT A

This post is an example of my fair use "copies" of documentary evidence, especially as employed here: Gabi Greve: Piracy Concern.

Now, why, when it was actually all about the girl, why would one want to delete all one's prior comments on a self-publicising initiative, posted under the cover of this coy title: "Susuma Takiguchi discussing haiku"?

I shall leave that question for readers to form their own opinion.

All I will remark is that my daily haikai diary on Facebook ( Haiku Crossroads - a family orientated site ) was spammed incessantly by Greve. Then, after several days of harassment around the clock, as documented on one of my "goggle pages" ( the piracy site ), all evidence of her usury disappeared (along with many other posts of overt and persistent attack by Greve and her old boys and girls haiku club amigos -- aka: the haiku loony brigade ). Poof, all gone. Every trace of their mob-mania expunged. Having covered their tracks they headed for the hills (with their tails between their legs). This taught me to keep proper records of some things.

So, ipso facto, disappearing evidence is not new. Frankly, I believe that Greve deleted her responses because they were embarrassingly absurd in the light of negative public reaction to Takiguchi's nutty editorial. Critiques by Haiku Foundation Forums' members on Greve's self-deluded vanity post confirm my own pithy summery regarding this eulogised (as in over-the-top) "haiku" which plagiarises the Issa classic:

"A poem maybe. Otherwise we have been given permission to write a sentence and call it a library. To say haiku/hokku is anything it wants to be is, clearly, utter nonsense. If a short story morphs into a novelette it is no longer a short story. It is a novelette. If a haiku becomes a sonnet then it is not a limerick either." - jp (see pic above)

As for "stalking". Well, that's an often used smear tactic, to the point of weasel-worded cliché. (Incidentally, I have better things to do with my time.) Of course, the subtext here is that Greve is worth the attention - they call this political spin. Whatever, since when does one comment constitute "stalking"? If this post had been by anyone else I would have still commented as I did. Why? Because the 3-liner, penned by Greve and virtually sanctified by this Takiguchi character (chief honcho at the so called World Haiku Club) has been spuriously elevated to a status way beyond its actual copycat reality; and this for reasons, pontificated by Susuma Takiguchi, which are so utterly absurd as to be laughable. Definitely a case in need of whistle blowing. Like that clear-eyed child in The Emperor's New Clothes parable.

Thank you very much for this explanation.

For the record: We did a Google Search for "one line Japanese haiku". The item Greve has now deleted came up. This is when I realised that there was a backstory to the absurd editorial by Susuma Takiguchi we have been discussing here. Another example of deceitful removal of source material to cover one's tracks. You see, as mentioned above, "stalking" is something we have no time, nor inclination, to do. In any case, Gabi Greve is not that important (other than in her own mind) to waste time "stalking" (researching). The phrase for her word usage is, clearly, "smear tactic". This being her typical modus operandi when attempting to extend her spurious influence.

NOTE: Susumu Takiguchi is "acting editor-in-chief" of World Haiku Review. In his Editors Choice, December 2011 a piece by Gabi Greve was featured. Gabi Greve is a proven plagiarist and copyright infringer who has built a large body of information on her internet sites by copy/pasting myriad slabs of other people's hard work. She comments and invites comments on the material she has plundered and, like the librarian who wrote all the library books, basks in the reflected glory of vain compensatory delusion. She's been at it for years. In other words, Gabi Greve is a pretentious magpie; not an artist, poet, scholar, or original thinker. Gabi Greve should recognise that she is an amateur haiku enthusiast who centralises other people's data. Only this and nothing more. It would do her soul a lot of good to wake up to these simple truths of real makoto humility (not the westernised fake variety); in preparation for when the last leaf falls as light fades to black. (Just like everyone else.)
