Persona non grata

I'm persona non grata at testycopyeditors.org. Probably half of my posts there are deleted by the management. True, what I write is often a digression; I can't help that, can I? But some of my best stuff has been canned.

My reference, for example, to a book review that almost made it to the AA-S:

The new hystericism: Whole lotta shaking going on (joke headline, of course)
---------
Rachel Maines, _THE TECHNOLOGY OF ORGASM: "Hysteria," the Vibrator, and Women's Sexual Satisfaction_, Johns Hopkins (1999)
--------
The job of sex, indeed. Too few men have ever wanted to do it right, historian Rachel Maines writes, so physicians have been forced to step in since at least the time of Hippocrates.

And what about my reference to bad behavior inspired by newspaper jargon? Yes, after reading a job posting on the Web, I responded to the phrase "send tears to ..." with the reprehensible e-mail "Would you like them in small vials or in Mason jars?" Things got uglier after that, alas.

Still, I myself kill quite a few of my testycopyeditors posts right after I've put them in.
