Max-Rom, it looks like you were trying too hard ;-) You seem to know more HTML than usual but the system is supposed to be friendlier than that...<BR>
<BR>
Yeah, spellcheck is new as well.  I'm kind of borrowing a free service, I hope it works out.  <BR>
<BR>
And as Deevaa discovered, the link to the edit account information sits on the account info page you get to by clicking on a User's name, like here in the board, or on an individual poem.

I don't know what St. Chrissy will do next. Maybe change his/her user name and submit more poems he/she didn't write. Ntozake Shange is one of my favorite poets and *For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Was Enough* is one of the most kick ass, brilliant poetry collections ever published. So when some idiot tries to pass one of Ms. Shange's poems off as their own, it kinda pisses me off.<BR>
BTW, you get much respect from me for the work you do. I tried it once for about two weeks and couldn't take it! And it was only a pre-parole release facility!:)

I guess I have added a Peyton Place touch to the blender today.....<BR>
When Dark Angel / Unchained/ started forwarding to me, other women's very personal correspondence, ..... I just could not hold in anymore....<BR>
There are ladies out here, on the blender, who have written to him via his e-mail, recently in the past few days, and in the very recent past, who he is betraying, by forwarding your love letters that you sent to him onward to me..... I do not know what is intent is.... or his motivation....<BR>
I am just kind of tired of his games.....<BR>
So ladies, please be careful in the future what things you write, share, or send to him......<BR>
because he is sending them to me..... and who knows, who else he is sending them to....<BR>

TJ, Gala, Misti, and Kirk - <BR>
If some "writers" (I use the term loosely for this breed) are caught with their hands in the cookie jar blatently stealing from another writer - what can this site to discourage it?  I know that inspiration is drwn from MANY places - but line for line quotations without credit is illegal and just plain shitty.  Is there an action that can be taken to remove the posting or send him/her a nasty email alerting them to the issue at hand?  Just wondering if this has happened before.<BR>
<BR>
On to more pleasant topics...<BR>

<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.10.15.20.42.19102">Since When</a>  is (pardon my excitement) kick-ass!!  If I could explain how cool you sound right now - Wow.  There is a line in a Tori Amos song: just because you can make me cum / does that make you Jesus?  You are very well apt to express your emotions!  Bravo, Bravo.<BR>

Inversion, I am wondering where you get your inspiration – have you a velvety muse?  Stephen – well, you romance the sordid details that I am too weak to speak.  Laurel, I am new here so I haven’t seen your work – but all of your pieces today are amazing.  I love your style.<BR>

Hey Rhet....<BR>
<BR>
          My own form is to ignore their work from that point on. NEVER comment---because after all, you don't know if you're complimenting the wrong person!<BR>

P.S.---Think it will make them nuts---one chick posted FROST---as in "the woods are lovely, dark and deep..." as her own. Claimed it as original because she changed a single word in each line....PITIFUL!

Rhetoric:<BR>
I dunno. It's a tough situation in general.  If given a specific directed complaint (with URLs of original and blender version) I can usually be persuaded to take action.  I guess the trouble is knowing for certain that the original version preceded the blender version, I've seen some people rip off blender poets as well.

I've had a guy do a direct copy of one of my paintings and then post it to a painting forum I had also posted my painting to...  <BR>
<BR>
His explaination was that he thought that the artist was a famous artist  and therefore  it wasn't a problem... he actually said "if I'd have known you where a person and not a 'real' artist I'd never have used your painting"<BR>
<BR>
go figure.
