The Truth About Dave From PoopReport

Posted 09.21.2003 by Dr. James (20)
Editor's note: It seems a few PoopReporters are being spammed with some anti-PoopReport vitriol. Incredible. All I want to do is make people laugh, and now I have an arch-enemy.

Well it appears that here I actually owe Dr. James an apology. As many of you know, I edit for diction, grammer and flow -- not every story comes in written as well as one from Mastercrapper or The Big Wiper. In Dr. James' case, as anyone familiar with his previous writing knows, grammer isn't exactly his strong point. He sent me a funny story; but I couldn't put it up as he sent it because it was, well, unreadable. I thought I'd be doing the kid a favor by helping him out with his writing.

From his original:

After I was done, I walked back towards the bathroom to clean up the disgusting mess in the bath. On my way back in, just wearing a towel, Wilson, the man who Bordered in our house had just unexpectedly come home early from work, and had been in the house for god knows how long?

You can see how I'd think Wilson was wearing a towel. Subject/verb/predicate and that whole thing. Sorry about that, Doc.

I have to admit, I edited this story pretty heavily; perhaps too much. Like I said, he had a funny story... I wanted it to read well. I guess I shouldn't have been so zealous.

For the record, I banned Dr. James because everyone asked me to -- he was a jerk on the forums.

Additionally, in interest of full disclosure, you should know that I also club baby seals. Man, I'm deplorable.

The Big Wiper (2244) -- 09.20.2003

Dr. James, my goal in life is to be a full-time writer (novelist), and I have been fortunate enough to have two of my novels published to date. A three-book proposal of mine is now in the hands of a New York agent, and I am hoping to have even more success in the near future.

I can, therefore, speak to the question of the role a good and competent editor plays in the publishing equation. My experiences to date with the editors of the two small presses who published my novels have been very gratifying and instructional. These men showed me where cuts were needed and made suggestions for worthy additions to my manuscripts. They did nothing but improve my work and make it read better. That is all they were trying to do, BTW. They were not out to butcher my work. They only wanted to make it more readable and marketable, and in that they succeeded.

I began working with Dave a couple of months before I joined PR in early March. I began my contributions to this site with many movie poop scenes for the archives, and once Dave had put up a few of them and I saw what alterations he had made, I was able to do that much beter a job on future contributions because I now saw clearly the style and length he preferred. I'm a quick study and enjoy communicating clearly with others.

Similarly, when I started sending in my stories to Dave, I noticed that he placed a special emphasis on strong opening hooks and strong finishes. Ten of these stories have been put up on the Front Page so far with a few more in the pipeline. Dave has always informed me of the changes he has made to my material and given me reasons for the changes. I have NEVER disagreed with his judgment. He has always made my stories that much better with his editorial skills. So what I am saying is that Dave is every bit as professional in his role on PR as the editors of the small presses who have published my novels have been.

He once asked me to rewrite an entire article because he didn't feel it had the right focus for the site. I took his advice, re-wrote it from a different angle, and both of us were pleased with the result.

I take constructive criticism well and have basically given Dave carte blanche with my submissions because I trust him and admire his handiwork. Pettiness and ego problems have never entered the equation, and I think the reason this is so is because I am a secure writer and Dave is a secure editor. It makes for a good partnership.

I know that Dave gets many e-mails, blurbs and stories that simply are not publishable or require so much work that it is not a good use of his time to bother with them. It appears Dave tried to go the extra mile with your material, but given the fact that you have adopted a very single-minded and paranoid nuisance agenda with him and other posters like myself to whom you have sent your unsoliticited e-mails, it was clearly a mistake on his part to make the effort.

When you attack Dave as unprofessional, you also attack me and the many other dedicated poop reporters who participate fully in and enjoy this site according to his rules.

Find something else to occupy your time and let this go. You are not missed or appreciated here.

Dr. James,

u r dum.

Tydirium (516) -- 09.20.2003

So, Dr. James, Dave... edits. Well, duh. That's because he's the editor. That's what editor's do. If he posted stories without editing them, I probably wouldn't come to this site.

Evan Moore, Ph.D (not verified) -- 09.21.2003

Good God Almighty. How the living hell do these people graduate highschool with grammar skills so pitifully inadequate?

Point #2: Thank goodness for some creative editing by Dave, without which that story would've been a boring anecdote about a pitiful soul with a dominatrix for a mother, and a fool for a dad. Who the hell has ever heard of telling you kid to stick a garden hose up his arse? I guess it takes all kinds to make the world such a globe full of demented neurotics. Does anyone else see the making of a mini-Hitler here? Domineering mom swaggering about, enema tube in hand, washing the kid's mouth out with the same soap with which she lubed his little bumb. Nitwit dad, half comatose on the couch, "just poke a fire hose up your arse, Junior."

Stand aside, Saddam, here comes little James.

Ass Phlegm (314) -- 09.22.2003

I also recieved 2 emails from Dr. James. I admit I had a good laugh after reading the emails. Thanks Dr. James!

As far as Daves position, bottom line...IT'S HIS SITE. I feel he runs the site without prejudice and is very fair with dealing with issues at hand. When you submit a story to be posted, it is posted for everyone's enjoyment, and as editor/site manager, Daves job is to provide us with the best possible content. You have no contract with him when you submit a post and it is basically up to his discretion on what to do with all of the submissions he gets. Not exactly a fun job I would imagine.

Anyways, I agree with the responces above and you were lucky that your story was even considered. I, for one appreciate what Dave does with this site and I would not be an active member here if it wasn't such a well rounded, impressive place to come for my entertainment and much more.

In closing, Dr. James, shut the fuck up. You are a turd from a maggot inbedded within another turd as far as I'm concerned. Daves editing is not up for questioning as far as I see it. Go back to school.

MommyPoo (23) -- 09.22.2003

Shit, I wish he'd made my story funnier :D

Snapper (170) -- 09.22.2003

With the way he writes, I find it quite amazing that Dr. James has actually made it to the college level. Maybe he hasn't, actually. I mean at my school there's always weird people using our facilities (audio/visual lab, computers, and even toilets) that I know don't go to school there. This could be the case with Dr. James, too, I s'pose.

If this scandal is true, David, and if you need somewhere to run to and/or hide, your friendly Canadian neighbour will still marry you.

doniker (1535) -- 09.22.2003

I feel left out, Dr. James never e-mails me.

I have always encouraged Dave to edit my stories to make them more readable. He always does a great job.

The only time he fucked up was my story about walking home from school to take a dump; he said alot of shit that I never would have said...but I forgave him.

Kung Poo (91) -- 09.22.2003

I laughed when doctor james e-mailed me this. Its hard to believe people this stupid exist.

AssBlaster2000 (1117) -- 09.22.2003

Well Dave, if it makes you feel better, I'm the Antichrist. And Dr. James sucks anyway. Stupid bastard.

Ral (not verified) -- 09.22.2003

This Dr. James guy needs to get a life and find something better to do with his activist impulses. Like feed starving kids in the Sudan or something. I mean really. Who friggin' cares? Thumbs up, Dave. The site entertains me (and occasionally educates me) and that's all I ask for.

Thomas (not verified) -- 09.23.2003

I seriously doubt that Dr. James is even human. You guys know what they say about if you set a chimp down with a typewriter, he will eventually type out a series of letters that actually spell something in English? Well, I think someone in Australia has finally found that chimp.

Sniper Wiper (not verified) -- 09.23.2003

If he was a doctor he would'v known damn well what an enema was. I didn't know what an enema was until I was about 12. That's either about his age or maturity level. He also would've gone out and bought an enema, and wouldn't have stuck a hose in his ass. This guy is a real moron, and the story was fake.

Sniper Wiper (not verified) -- 09.23.2003

His e-mail is also DR_SJA@hotmail.com, If you would like to harass him or anything.

Disappointed Dumper (not verified) -- 09.24.2003

Doniker says he "always encouraged Dave to edit his stories ..."

DAMN! Think what we have missed here folks. When are we gonna get to see a totally raw Doniker submittal. Think of it ... a drunken, on-the-road, lost in mid-America, Hunter Thompsonesque, Black Crowes' hotel illness, shit-stained, masturbatory, declasse litany of demented male behavior ... UNCUT!!! Come on, Dave. Okay, Doniker, batter up!

Carlos (69) -- 09.24.2003

I've never objected to any of Dave's changes to my stories. He has corrected grammar and spelling mistakes that I overlooked before submitting them. His editing is done with the best of intentions. People, you can always post to the forums if you don't like your stuff to be edited.

Thunderturds Are Go! (25) -- 09.28.2003

Same here. Although I have only had one story posted on this website, I did notice some edits to it. But I liked it! It made the story much easier to read, and made more sense. None of the major details were changed, not even the little ones, just a few little things here and there.

Dr.James, from the look of things, you have got to learn to lighten up. It was a funny story before, and is even funnier now. And I probably would have mistaken the fact that Wilson was wearing the towel, not yourself.

poopmagick (not verified) -- 09.28.2003

Dr. James emailed me as well. He's an idiot! Doctor my ass.

I know a few people on this site care deeply about the truth, if not the plausability of the stories...but I frankly don't. All I'm looking for is a good, hearty poop story to make my dreary bank job a bit more bearable.

And Dave...my condolences. I recently had a death in my family as well, and I know nothing anyone can say can make it better...except I empathize. *hugs*

Snapper (170) -- 09.29.2003

I think we should vote David for prez.

David for Prez!

David for Prez!

I'll be the first lady. No one needs to know I'm an evil Canuck.
