oddly, this is true. I mentioned Momus once on a rival internet forum, and next thing there he was.

The geezer, Momus, has almost never acknowledged my posts; I have not always acknowledged his. But on one occasion he did: on the T.S. Eliot thread, I think, when engagingly he was defending TSE - and he typed, out of the blue, a parody of TSE addressed to me, a marvellous squib about, I think, fire engines. (Or am I projecting that image on to him?) It demonstrated wit, erudition, intelligence and charm. I should be sure not to forget that post, when I think about the geezer Momus.

sorry if I was intellectually dishonest, I just find people's willingness to gloss over this kind of irritating and symptomatic of the weird free pass people seem to give this guy just for being a bit interesting
my feeling is that Momus' own account of the above is probably uh a little self-serving but I probably shouldn't prolong this argument

― EMPIRE STATE HYMEN (MPx4A), Thursday, 28 May 2009 11:30 (fourteen years ago) link
I think he at least attempted - and often failed spectacularly - to be intellectually honest in his discussions
Like in Big Brother when someone's a complete cunt but still somehow gets kudos for at least being themselves and keeping it real
― Dante ... Bruno . Vico .. Passantino (Tom D.), Thursday, 28 May 2009 11:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Can I just posit a theory that the hitting never happened?
That he had some sort of urge to do it, thinking about it and what the reaction of both people might be?
― Mark G, Thursday, 28 May 2009 11:34 (fourteen years ago) link

― FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Thursday, 28 May 2009 11:35 (fourteen years ago) link
I never took much notice of the geezer (Momus that is, not Sutcliffe), maybe he was just on different threads than me and maybe he'd done all his most irritating work before I showed up

I'll at least give Momus that it takes a very peculiar sort of asshat to be this controversial this long after leaving the board.

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 28 May 2009 11:50 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah tbh a large part of this is to do with me having heard the other party's account of the above; probably not really fair for me to get into arguments with people who are just going by the guy's annoying internet posts

If you go to the ICA in London, you notice that Japanese girls sometimes seem to be the only people there. I am, in human form, the ICA. I am sustained, like that venerable London arts institution, by the patronage and kindness of these hyper- cultuivated people. I also enjoy fucking them.
