Lisa, I've seen many poets, some of them very, very good, leave this forum. I miss most of them for their work.
But, I ask myself each time one leaves: "Why would you post before a virtual audience of millions, if you are so thin-skinned that you cannot tolerate opposing points of view?"
Here's a relevant quote: “When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken, giving views to passion without that proper deliberation which alone can secure them from the grossest absurdities” ---David Hume

Another GOOD quote LES!! GOLLY GEE WHIZ---Maybe you should learn it along with getting your handicap down below 120 and getting those short putts in.
I would have reported this VERY un-gentleman to the MODERATOR but then that would be YOU!!
Pseudo-apologies for the skepticism---and he joins the ranks.
I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTING TO TAKE A VOTE HERE TO SEE HOW
MANY WOMEN ENJOY BEING MENTALLY ABUSED AND / OR RAPED? ANY HANDS?
All best,
Lisa

I don't know what is going on here, but there is several moderators, so you can always address one of us if there is a problem and we will pass it on to the admin. There is no need to report anyone in public. A private message or email will do. Of course, we can't keep people from sending messages from another log-in, but don't judge the majority here on one person's spamming. And truth to tell, I had no idea either you were referring to private messages, until you mentioned it in a reply to Les.
In short, if you wish the issue to be looked into, feel free to email me or to send a mssg.
Unfortunately the issue is so complicated that it would require a dissertation to explain it and in the past 2 years, between doctors for Calvin and writing issues, I have little faith in mankind actually being good and hardly trustworthy.
My beef here is what everyone can see in the reactions on this thread far up.
Would it hurt for people to say, "Sorry to see you leave, but if you ever find the desire to return, we welcome you back open-armed."
HURT causes anger.
ARE WE POETS or the most insecure group of people on earth
to the extent that we destroy each other?
Look at Fink's poems and how many even bothered to respond.
I saw his work as sad cries from the human heart. He is sweet and in pain.
Yet barely no one said dick to him.
It sucks---every poet I know writes out of pain
so shouldn't we all be cognisant of that fact?
If we aren't---I GIVE UP.
xoxo Desi---I sense that you are good and do care,
Lisa

I think you need to ask youself why you thought it necessary to announce to the whole world that some single annoyance in your entire life was worth the tantrum. Like folks on Usenet, who are obliged to loudly proclaim PLONK when they killfile a particular poster. Childish whining, my view, and boring to the point of tears.
If you now again find it necessary to announce your immediate departure, so be it. Personally, I feel you could be a bit more mature about the whole thing. Get over yourself, that is.
Hmmmmmmm---three old men jeering at someone's sadness
behind her back----
I'd call that pretty immature.
Maybe ya outa take a peek at Johnny's page of the gospel according to Thomas.
And "boring to the point of tears"----from the man who enjoys studying

I'm was just talking about human courtesy HUGH-boy.
I feel sorry for men like you with tiny penises.
(and on a side note---did it ever occur to you that I was saying bye to the kind people here who I've enjoyed, which are too many to Private Message---the kind of folks who walk their guest to the door and shake their hand and give a hug?
not people like you---I've seen your rudeness before with Ebon---you're not a good person BABY-HUGHEY---didn't your momma cradle you enough?)

You see the sliver in your friend's eye, but you don't see the timber in your own eye. When you take the timber out of your own eye, then you will see well enough to remove the sliver from your friend's eye."
Thomas 1:23
then again there are people like yourselves who actually have REDWOOD TREE LOGS in their eyes that need CHAINSAWS TO REMOVE.....
