Use only verse to express yourself, as I do not promote violence ;)

Suggesting to dump contests, blogs, and other features such as delete controls, or buttons, that make up this wonderful poetry site and community, is not the issue. Accusations are on the rise. If you can't move on, try a therapist of obsessions! try looking inward, start there, rather than leashing outward and hash it out with yourself. Before you accuse me, take a good look at yourself! -Clapton

There once was a place soupers called PS Forgive me if I sound a bit too superc-i-l-i-o-u-s Bloggers delight with fisticuffs at bullying bogus bluffs One day gone, none got along, all unscrupulous! Delete them at first, what they falsely implore Seems one can’t hash it out with an execrator Or block the gates of those old reprobates And poof all gone, it’s what buttons are for!

Hash it out! I am for eliminating peer sponsored contests for sure. Just way too many problems which I've discussed to the point of ad nauseum. But they're not going away under the current admins so we play with the toys we're given. As for controversy, it exists everywhere, why would we expect any difference here? Still, good to be civil

Why coitenly! We all have our reasons for why we want changes, and altho we may not agree, your welcome to express or hash it out with me, without the unscrupulous, screw that. Nyuk Nyuk.

What stands out most is the blend of classical vocabulary—like “supercilious,” with its rich etymology—and modern, digital vernacular. The poem juxtaposes old-world haughtiness with today’s online dismissal culture, creating a layered and humorous critique of both.

I love that, Jay! You're comment really excites the senses TyVm. If I made you smile, I'm grateful.

If a poet feels righteous indignation, he/she has every justification to jump into the arena of controversy without angry incrimination! Anaya, you are missing a syllable in first limerick, I'd use pugnacious, audacious, spurious. Witty lims. Clapton is a good choice bestie. Robert

Y e S! without angry incrimination. Okay alliteration isn't everything. TyVM, Clapton is choicest as his song says it all, and played given the middle finger (known for that)! :D

They want to rid everything, I don't know what I'd do without PS's contests and block buttons, LOL. <3.
