Dear Blue and Assorted Fishes,<BR>
<BR>
How about some poetry now, huh?  When it gets to the point that ALL of us Blenderheads have to band together under one common identity to speak out against your Blundering, then you'd better clean up your acts.  Yes, from now on, I will be the SOLE arbiter of good taste here on the Blender.  No one else every wants to do it, and those who DO usually don't really have the time or interest anymore.  So now BK, TJ, Kirk, Misti, Rennie and everyone else can just leave the asswhippins up to me.  This is what leadership is all about...only a small number of us can do so, if not us THEN WHO?<BR>
<BR>
Speaking For The Rest Of Us, how about a little poetry?<BR>

Just a minute there - those others are not necessarily speaking for ALL of us here on the Blender.  Four of us really kinda think the whole Blue thing was funny and avant gard, but twelve were more ambivalent, and we haven't heard from all the Aussie Blenderheads.  But I digress...we too wish there would just be more POETRY here, but we wanted to point out that Speaking For The Rest Of The Group was not actually speaking for ALL of the group.<BR>

Thanks.

Thanks! I've been here too long. I feel ridiculous about it sometimes, but I'm so grateful to Kirk for creating this forum. By posting and submitting here I've met some amazing people (including my darling, long-suffering husband/best friend)and I feel that I've evolved (more or less) as a writer. <BR>
<BR>
Regarding the current unleashed idiocy on the Board (you may know your Beats backward and forward but youse guys have the emotional maturity of a toddler and the relevance of a snot soggy Kleenex)...I've seen it before and it's never enlightening or unique. I've never been amused by it. But I don't have cable or a cell phone so what the fuck do I know?

<BR>
<BR>
spaded- well thank u for what u said for the most part!! but no my parents dont beat me! they just dont care at all!! but thanks for at least caring!!!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
whom ever it concerns- to understand the poem that had made kase soo mad u would have to understand me, and that is not a easy thing to do!! So how ever many of u think i have a seriuse prob and was just looking for attention...i wasnt, i acually dont liek this much attention, where it feels liek everyong is on my case!! and not sure who said this but "u feel liek no one is on your side" that part is intirely true!!! i do feel that no one cares!!! <BR>
<BR>
kase- one that really had made me mad about u, was that u treated me like i was 2!!! im not i am acually very mature for my age!! (of more than teh ppl taht i know)and u kept comminting tat i was imature and stuff liek that that really made me feel bad, because i have ALWAYS been mature for my age<BR>

I just received a message from God. He asked me to pass it on to you. Condensed and translated for your comprehension:<BR>
You are a blathering idiot. Stop praying to me. Your prayers are tiresome. You give me a bad name at the Blender of Love. Not only do you make an ass of yourself on the Board, but your poems suck donkey dong. Find a new playground. Find a new way to seek attention for yourself. If you don't reform soon I will have to send you to Hell. <BR>

To Everyone: <BR>
<BR>
I have yet to mention or get involved with the "issues" going on over the board because I don't know any of you personally and have no right or authority to place judgment. I may or may not agree with some things said but I keep my personal thoughts that are unnecessary to be posted to myself (mainly because I don't know most of you or your personal lives or histories). Some or all of you may not care what I do or do not have to say but I've reached that point where I'd like to say something. <BR>
<BR>
I came to know this site only three months ago and immediately loved it. Every piece was REAL, inspiring, natural, and from the heart. Every piece made me want to meet all of you and understand you better. By reading the board, I've been able to learn some things about you and your personalities, most of which I have been drawn to and inspired by. I've searched many poetry sites and NONE are as real or as dedicated as this one. None inspire me the way all of you do. All free moments I have I look forward to posting and reading this site and no other's. There are a great number of different thoughts, feelings, and personalities on this site that I'm sure most of us can relate to at one time or another which is what makes it so great. Everyone has a story to tell. Whether fiction or non-fiction, whether funny or sad. Isn't that what poetry is? Inner thoughts, communication, theories, creativity of word phrasing? <BR>
<BR>
I have moved to a new state from my home state a year ago and am still not adjusted to my new life. I stay home with my children so never really have the need to leave the house and therefore, I still don't know anyone. Because of this, finding the blender has been extremely helpful for me in coping with the pain of being away from everyone and everything I know. I don't come on the board and complain about my misery and not all of my pieces are about my complaints. I simply write what I feel when I feel it and greatly look forward to reading your pieces and your messages on the board when my spirits need some lifting. Lately, it's been difficult with all the negativity. <BR>
<BR>
I've never sent a direct message to Kirk but now I'd like to: I've been drawn to this site and the inspiring words that come from it. It's been a big help to me personally and I want to thank you for having it. <BR>
<BR>
Again to everyone, I hope this can end soon so we can all get back to the real creativity that exists here. <BR>
<BR>
Thank you for listening.   - Dana

I've subjected Blue's posts to a procedure known as "disemvowelment", where all the vowels are removed.<BR>
<BR>
It's a form of not-quite-full-censorship shunning.  The message is still more or less there for people who want to read it, but I think few will bother. Plus, it makes the person look a bit ridiculous<BR>
<BR>
Blue, This is not the forum for long personal vendetta rants or long cut and pastes.  I'm not making any changes to your account yet, but be a good neighbor or I'm going to start forumlating an escalating level of response.  Maybe that's overdue.  <BR>
<BR>
In particular, there is <BR>
A. disemvowelment or blanking (turning posts into white fonted, tiny text, so people have to select the text with their mouse to see it) of individual posts<BR>
B. disemvowelment or blanking of all posts for an account<BR>
C. removal of an account<BR>
D. disemvowelment/blanking/removal of multiple accounts via connection tracking.<BR>
<BR>
Basically, I'm trying to increase my arsenal of dealing with bad citizens on the board, so it's not post removal or nothing.<BR>

That "gun" deal I did was just a bit O' sarcastic humor.  I don't have a gun, don't believe in the "Red Dawn" theory and quite frankly don't have any tolerance to those who do.  I have see what gun shot wounds look like and therefore can say I have made an educated and intelligent decision about the matter.  I have three children.  I understand the concept that this is a love sight, but to appreciate the joy of love you have to embrace pain as well.  It's along the lines of perfect forms.  Bye.--LEAMA
