Okay, so there's no new info on big foot, and no recipes! 
Where do I begin? Well, first thing first. Tigerjen. Love her, hate her, put her in your will... whatever! She's part of this community, and she has the right to her opinion. She has the right to show common sense or no sense! She has rights.
Turning off the voting on some of her many poems is a decision only she can make. I'm sure she's thought it out, and perhaps, she saw negative consequences for her poetry. At this point in time, she chooses not to volunteer. She's made her decision, and she's told us. So there's no reason to attack her because she doesn't go along. (not saying anyone is! lol)
The reason for our tj's actions and everyone else's is because this is a real community. A little city full of real (and very different)personalities. Ever notice that no matter where you work that there's most likely a gossip there? And the guy that hits on anything and everything or the girl that dresses and acts like a slut? (Or maybe it's the other way around!) The person everyone wants to throw out the window, or the one everyone likes and respects? It's the same here. And like in "real life" you cannot throw tj out a cyber window! lol
I believe in positive reinforcement. Praise those who contribute to our little world. Ignore the stupid or insensitive things others do-- when possible. Don't just complain about our problems-- find solutions like some of us are doing now! When you're angry, think before you type.
To the pissed-off poets (I know there are a few): put your feelings in a poem. That'll make for some interesting reading. lol No need to name names. Most of us are creative enough to let everyone know who and what we're talking about. I'm serious! Write! Post your creation on this thread if you'd like. It's a constructive way to let off some steam.
That's it for now!
