Well said, David. I haven’t experienced this to any great extent, but have received the odd ‘life lesson’ which simply sees me rolling my eyes and moving on with zero acknowledgement. So pleased to see you receive POTD with this. Congrats. Terry

Presuming we’re referencing the same person, David, I was, at one time, pretty sure he was A.I. Ha ha

Thanks Terry I’d already told him not to (butt in) on my personal comments boxes and chats with other poets , but of course Tommy was feeling insignificant and just went ahead and did it again the other day, and also left me strange reference numbers, knowing quite well I’m not religious, so I called him out, he got a good telling off here yesterday for his sins, but in the end I granted him a pardon, shame he deleted all his comments! But I have them screenshot for posterity lol! Cheers David

David, I sincerely like how inventive you are. Congratulations on being chosen as the POTD. It is important to be mindful of where we leave our comments, as they aren't always directed to the intended recipient. Thank you for initiating this thought-provoking discussion.

Thank you Lasaad, mindfulness is indeed the name of the game, jumping in and trying to hijack others personal comments boxes, is very rude and dismissive towards other poets privacy, i’m glad you liked the inventive nature of this one, cheers David

Thank you Pangie, I appreciate you dropping by with congratulations, you always keep to your own comments box, and I respect you for that, cheers David

I Am Anaya

Unwelcome intrusions are NEVER well received. Non-believers were once called heretics & burned at the stake, and I prefer we don't fall back into that depravity. A trophy win from anyone will not serve to silence my opinions or dull my indignation. As the great bard put it--To thine own self be true. I also have no desire to be witnessed to. I too am searching for existential answers & don't want to feel obligated or suffocated by one-doctrine. Luv ya, a poet friend indeed. Congratulations David!

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/26/2024 10:27:00 AM

Thank you so much Anaya for such a reinforcing comment, yes indeed terrible atrocities have been carried out throughout history in the name of religion, I choose to be agnostic and search for existential answers, rather than unwanted or unasked for indoctrination, religi-bombing a personal conversation between two poets, after being told not to do it, is a form of persecution, more reminiscent of the inquisition years, we all know how that ended, not very good! you are very appreciated Anaya, cheers David

Congratulations on your POTD win. Words both good/bad have power to bless or to hurt. Four powerful lines. Saying good/nice words are the best thing or say nothing at all. Have a blessed day writing away.................

Heya Paula, I was having a lovely philosophical conversation with Dilly about the moon, when Tommy boy interjected with unwanted words and strange numbers, he was already told by me on a previous occasion not to engage in my personal comments, so I’m afraid he getting a good telling off now, for invasion of privacy, thank you so much, cheers David

Congratulations on your POTD, David. We all need to be careful where we post comments if not our direct comment. Thanks for bring this topic up for each to think about. Enjoy your special day of recognition, my friend. Bill

David Kavanagh

We do indeed Bill, that is my whole point, do not try hijack another’s personal comment box, and corrupt the thread for one’s own agenda, thank you so much for stopping by and understanding, cheers David

Jan Allison

Many congrats on POTD, like you I have no particular faith and to be honest I can't abide having religious quotes rammed by my throat especially by one who should be reading the bible and learning from it instead of bullying and belittling others then trying to look whiter than white - the irony isn't lost on many of us! hugs Jan xx

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/26/2024 9:16:00 AM

Of course it’s not Jan, he’s just doing a bit of damage limitation and, trying to point the digit away from himself, it’s mad he just keeps reinforcing my poem, thank you so much for stopping by with congratulations, cheers David

Congratulations on your POTD David. You didn't gatecrash on my comment. That was just another wrong comment by the 'serial deleter.' LOL I got a good laugh at that one. I hope you're on your way back to Milton Creek. It might need protecting.

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/26/2024 5:51:00 AM

I’ll make my way back eventually Mark, when I get the ankle bracelet off, erm I mean leg brace off, silly me lol! great to see you stopping by, and vindicating my comment that I never gatecrashed you, or anyone else, cheers David

Dear David, Congratulations today on this honor of POTD. I am unfamiliar with it's subject matter but sincerely hope it "clears the air". Have a blessed day..

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/26/2024 5:43:00 AM

Strange thing Nancy I’d already told him not to be jumping in on my personal comments, so this needed saying, hopefully it will clear the air, time will tell cheers David

Congratulations on POTD David! Attempts to convert (or change the mind) on religion or politics are always fascinating (well not in the moment, but as a concept). It's a likely fail, so it makes you question the motive. The only conclusion, like you have poetically observed, is a lack of respect for the other party and their views. A bit of an eye opener... and a cause to wince slightly... (Last line and first comment wise)

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/26/2024 5:40:00 AM

Of course it’s lack of respect Dilly, interloping into another’s comment box, proffering religious ideology, knowing damn well that person is not in the least religious or interested, it’s very bad form, no matter how sugar coated they then try make it out to be, cheers David

Lin Lane

Date: 2/26/2024 2:12:00 AM

Congratulations on this one being chosen as poem of the day, David. The dialogue on this poem from Yesterday exposes quite a lot. Maybe now more poets will see the black sheep for who he really is.

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/26/2024 5:32:00 AM

Indeed Lin certain interjectory issues and grandstanding must not be tolerated, it’s the simplest thing in the world to open a separate comments box, rather than try interfere with another poet’s thread, cheers David

Anne-Lise Andresen

- I put on my silk gloves to congratulate you on your p.o.d.t., David :) - hugs

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/26/2024 5:25:00 AM

Haha, good one I always enjoy a little banter in my comments Anne-Lise, see even Dilly is getting in on the moment, and that’s indeed my point, welcome banter is fine, just not the unwelcome stuff that I have no interest in at all, cheers David

Di11y Da11y
Date: 2/26/2024 2:03:00 AM

Haha Anne-Lise - you're so funny I've immediately broken the rule :)

David Kavanagh

Thank you everyone for commenting on this one, sorry I cannot answer your comment, (work issues) right now! but will get back to you all later on today, cheers David

Well said David, I got a negative reply to a poem, so I copied the words and pasted them in reply to that person, then the words are there for all to see even if the sneak deletes. Congratulations on poem of the day… Beryl

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/26/2024 5:20:00 AM

Heya Beryl, that’s a very good idea in case they delete to save face, by manipulating the thread, thanks so much for sharing, and stopping by, cheers David
