MIEN KAMPF!<BR>
<BR>
I’m a whore.  No wait YOU’RE THE WHORE.<BR>
<BR>
Come to think of it, Mary Magdalene was a whore, too.<BR>
<BR>
WHAT WAS MY POINT?<BR>
<BR>
Oh yes, Cose Fan tutte.<BR>
<BR>
What I’m saying to you dear hearts, YOU smashing young poet and poetesses (ah, if only I could remember which one I was,) is that I’m totally OUTTA MY FREAKIN’ GOURD.<BR>
<BR>
I like really, really – quite overly, actually – tight cut-off denim shorts…<BR>
<BR>
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME!  How about Hegel, huh?<BR>
<BR>
Speaking of which, I’m very mysterious in my madness, aren’t I?<BR>
<BR>
I do so Love this Site.  <BR>

I find it sad that the board can so quickly become about one person and their "agenda", and when the same person posts multiple poems regarding this agenda, it becomes very boring.  I do try to skip over "his" rants and poems, but he does monopolize the board, and detract us from what this is supposed to be about.  He obviously is an attention seeker, and I think the greatest thing we could do would be to ignore him, and focus on the works.  <BR>
<BR>
Happy Monday, everyone!

To Derelect Daisy, One Nut Jim, Etc. -  <BR>
As a spectator to your pain, I have read your torments.<BR>
Assuming that you are one person using various names, but all sharing the same agony - I wrote this poem as a form of comfort and understanding for what you are going through and what others have and will go through in the future, when they lose someone that they loved.  I understand. I have been there.  Although I did not react like you - inside I felt almost crazy at times.  The burning pain of rejection and loss and reality and foolishness, was almost more than I could endure.  I know what it is like to not be able to eat or sleep, and to feel that you were going to die.  I know the ache and burning feeling in your skin....<BR>
I hope this poem will offer you some comfort.  Sometimes there is nothing that anyone can do or say to help you....<BR>
but just to listen.   Healing is often slow.... and painful.<BR>
Please read, if you will.... <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.10.09.48.16544">The Torments of Rejected Love</a> <BR>

All~<BR>
<BR>
I usually sit these flame wars out, but our unwelcome visitor has displayed such a keen memory (or uncanny ability to cut and paste) that I thought I would chime in.<BR>
<BR>
Our dark, brooding and ever-boorish guest asks -- by way of the title of its latest contribution to this site -- “ <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.10.00.47.14202">What's In a Name Anyway? </a> ”<BR>
<BR>
Plenty, if you’re discussing German composer Richard Wagner, and even more if you’re referring to fascist despot Adolf Hitler.<BR>
<BR>
Our mysterious contributor has submitted “Name” as a poem, without any indication that the thoughts expressed within are other than its own.  Actually what has been submitted is, not surprisingly, an assortment of quotes from two other writers.<BR>
<BR>
Wagner and, more alarmingly, Hitler, from “Mien Kampf.”<BR>
<BR>
I wonder if it would be erroneous to believe that our resident demented jester is not only a hermaphroditic sociopath, but also a plain, old-fashioned white supremacist?<BR>
<BR>
It just gets more and more freaky.<BR>
<BR>
I submit, then, my opinion to the community… our gnomic visitor is just a couple of kittens away from being a serial killer.  Enough said.<BR>
<BR>
And, for what it’s worth, the Tanqueray Cowboy strongly believes that Hart Crane was a no-talent hack.<BR>
<BR>
Apologies for the rant.  I now return you to the regularly scheduled theatre of the absurd, now in progress. <BR>

Tanq, my guess is that it's someone who's better at yanking chains than a died-in-the-wool hatemonger.  <BR>
<BR>
Stephen, perusing some logs, it looks like simplistic IP banning won't work. The multiple personalities are posting from different IPs, so either it's a group of merry little pranksters, or just a very few individuals who are good at spoofing.  <BR>
<BR>
As a very rough rule of thumb, put your mouse over the link on the From: line, the status bar will show you of the type <a href="http://loveblender.com/blend/av.cgi?id=###">http://loveblender.com/blend/av.cgi?id=###</a> -- that # is the person's id, and ids are assigned numerically (this acct is #1, some regulars who jumped on the system early have two digit numbers, etc).  Now I'm a little reluctant to say this, because some people think the Board et al is elitest enough as it is, and I do NOT want people to start becoming kneejerk suspicous of newcomers, but for the time being, be a little distrustful of idiot posters with ids in the 500s, which correspond to these new ids that are being created left and right.

Again, here is my take on the Big Blender Bang Theory!  People who wreak mayhem only have the power that is given to them by their targets.  IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY.  There is obviously a great deal of pain and bitterness in the words of One Nut Jim, but the Blender is hardly the place for psychotherapy.  And even the best therapists can only do good if the person who needs it wants it!  We can't fix Jim.  Jim can fix Jim when he is good and darn ready, no matter what the story is (and believe you me, I don't even have a clue).  Things had calmed down and it was looking like the board was about business again...lets get back to it, shall we?

t'was night on an evening eve<BR>
snow fell as stars burning bits so bright<BR>
music of memories small touched the soul<BR>
while cinnamon spices catch the heart<BR>
as i was carried to hallways vast<BR>
of time held in abeyance of eternity's thrall<BR>
snow drifted floors piled in corner chance<BR>
age felt far more than sight can hold<BR>
and windows...<BR>
from across the age<BR>
trees with candles<BR>
vie with those of electric make<BR>
trains runnin on tracks of every shape<BR>
canes of colors, swirls, sweetness and light<BR>
and the rosy faced children all sharing this night<BR>
carried was i on memories for this little stroll<BR>
and i find myself a wonder<BR>
how can memories skip, smile and laugh<BR>
as mine are doing now?<BR>

merry Xmass one and all<BR>

Ultra-muy-fantastico scqueen, y tu?  We were merely seconds (seriously) ago *burning your ears*  Hope it was pleasant? ha.  Last night, my sister and I were in Romeo's on Barton Springs.  I remembered you'd asked about the club/cantina's locale where I'd pulled visuals from for andalusian dancing?  I looked up and there they were: grapes, lattice, and I KNEW scqueen had been here! Are you coming to Tx for (T)Xmas?
