He was spoofing Barry and his buddies and their crazed attacks on me, and also,
yes, partly his own writing style. He did the latter quite a bit, actually.
Most people knew what he was doing, and it only enhanced his credibility. He
was a master at ironic self-deprecation. Too bad you missed it; it was very
entertaining and appealing.
<< I have it right from the horse's mouth (Robin's) that this was a parody. Go
figure. I even have it documented in a private email So, you are saying that
Robin "spoofed" himself? Because a parody, strictly speaking, is a work that
caricatures another work. Robin's post bears no resemblance to Judy's or
Barry's works on FFL.
There is something fishy going on here with you two. Why would Robin spoof
himself and bring into question everything he has written on FFL by posting a
spoof of his own writing style? If he did that, nobody would ever believe
anything he ever wrote here again.
parody:
"A parody (also called spoof, send-up or lampoon), in current use, is an
imitative work created to mock, comment on or trivialize an original work, its
subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of satiric or ironic
imitation."
