Jack ass slander

Really tired of your crap, tired of the Mods that delete anytime I RESPOND to your scurrilous attacks.
Got that Mr. So-Called Compassion, YOU KNOW I leave my number, you've deleted enough of them, even when you friends agree.

Now I have no way of knowing as to the comment MET was refering to here as KR deleted it. I see two things, one a need for spell checker , although I think "anonamouse" was deleberate, and another a lack of a comment of any substance regarding the poetry.
Are you running for something Art? Pretty damn easy to run run around leaving "<grin... nice write." one every other poem out there, except on those that have made your enemies list, eh? Like just about anyone that has corrected you, eh. Oh. I'm sorry, I did see a few that you left preaching " compassion" to those that don't see the "light" of your wisdom.

no, no, no fellows, let's address the issues of misrepresentation and false accusations
"some anonamouse comes along and bruises it while telling you they are toughening your thin skin while disecting your words unable to see your heart"
did I do this? I'm saying I did not. Now lets do a little truth seeking, eh? I want proof, or an apology.

But no one wins, because the child doesn't care whether he's right or wrong, the child just wants the attention.

We don't delete. We move threads far, far away. I left yours. You should be dealing with this privately and not publicly. But since you are discussing your own public feedback, then do so. I just hate to see this cause another battle on the board. Things have been nice lately.

Mornin 1201.

For the record, I've never deleted any of your posts. I know why you're pissed, but the reality of this forum is that pandering goes on with or without references to specific posters (like anonamouse). I've seen veiled threats, too, to various poets here who don't blindly praise other poets'. I've seen my poems one-bombed into oblivion.

Uh, I don't care.

However, it does suck. No one here is well served by being "soothed" when someone gives them critique (as opposed to praise). Is it pandering? Well, quite a coincidence that such controversy heats up in the midst of the annual contest, isn't it? I agree with Tath though that your venting (which is certainly your right) isn't gonna change anything. If individuals want to polarize the forum, for whatever reason, they will.

I've said it before (many times) and I'll say it again. If you select the public comment option when you submit a poem, you tacitly accept that some people are going to say your poem is less than perfect--nicely or otherwise. If you select the voting option, you tacitly accept that your poem may receive a low score.

Critique ain't personal folks. If you take it that way, you shouldn't opt for votes or comments. If you're that thin-skinned, you shouldn't submit your poems here.

And believe it or not, this is one of the kindest poetry forums I've encountered in terms of critique. If you can't deal with it here, you definitely won't be able to handle it elsewhere.

Anyone can feel free to rip into any of my poems with comments or votes. If I don't agree I won't hate you, I won't lose sleep over it, and I'll definitely keep writing poetry.

My love, you've already answered the most critical question for me this morning: where's the coffee?

As for pandering, I'd do anything for an omlet baby.

The coffee is high octane aint it?

And I dreamed in Omelet last night, so there's hope sweets.

Very suspicious.

Very suspicious.

I think the authorities should be contacted.
Good sign: he left some shampoo and all the soap
and an empty beer bottle on the kitchen counter.

Very mysterious.

1201 I think when MET left that comment, he was talking about the collective conspiracy circle he has imagined of people who have an interest to help others improve their writing, not anonomouse your alt, as he used the pronoun "they."

and if so, I hope to be among the collective "they" of which he speaks.

I thought it was an oval. I think we should switch to a trapazoid.

no corners please

The corners are for the one-bombers. They have to sit in the corner and read Rod McKuen.

I don't think we can reshape our oval into a trapezoid. Maybe a softer version of the octagon.

He guzzled the beer before he left, washed his mouth out with shampoo and then soaped the bubbles off his chin. He was late after all that and forgot to pack the soaps and toss the brewsky bottle.

How's that for forensics?
