[D-G] What is the difference between a schizo and a bad poet?

Maybe I am being too harsh, but people seem to confuse using deleuze's 
thought as a synthesising stepping stone to think in creative ways with 
the expression of some alleged creativity in 'creative' and non-
sensical modes of discourse. I have never read something from Deleuze 
or D&G that was more nonsense than sense, that is, more absurdity than 
it is truth, so I am not sure why such people decide that it is an 
appropriate mode and forum for _discussing_ deleuze's work.

Surely there are other places to experiment with expression where it 
would be appreciated. (Like on a blog!!! Where if people are interested 
then they can come to you, rather than forcing people to be part of 
experiments like the worst kind of fascist.) When the chimp entered the 
scene, I thought, great, another monkey schizo-poet.

How is the philosopher to suppose to make the move from literature to 
philosophy? I ask this with this in mind: HAven't philosophers done 
quite poorly when dealing with literature of the work of the artist.  
Foucault seems to introduce things into his book on Roussel that he 
actively avoids in his other works (i.e. personal biography); Heidegger 
and his Holderlin fixation,etc.
