That too is a personal attack. Here are positive reviews of filmmakers
other than Brakhage that have been available free, on my site or linked
to from my site, for years. Some of them may even be young people who
"pick up a cam." But not everyone who simply "picks up a cam" should
show their work publicly either...

Stop posting blatant lies (and worse, lies in the form of personal
attacks complete with sexual innuendoes) about other members of this
listserv, please.

Oh, and by the way, even in his mature period Brakhage made, and
released, a few films that I think are simply bad. I told him that once
or twice too, and he did not even get angry.
