He Reeks of Ill Will

The sheriff had a visitor who growled like thunder, a rabid dog, teeth bared trying to tear him asunder. She howled that he'd attacked a member of her pack Saying Mark was the aggressor and giving him flack. She told him he'd listened to those who are wrong then called him a troll, singing that same old song. He replied to her comments, showing no disrespect but her defense of that yobbo is hogwash that I reject. She accused the sheriff of robbing PS of a great poet. But all the real troll offered was trouble. We know it. The doggie's heckling prickled me like a thorn or a spur I won't miss that cowardly 'deleter,' that cocky old cur. She can defend her crud bud any way she chooses, but he will always be the one many of us accuses of bullying, for each time he returns he reeks of ill will. Hope we've seen the last of him and his snippety quill.

If Mark is a troll then I'm POTUS, Never once have I seen Mark troll anyone on here but have seen him come to the defence of some that have been trolled. Tom

Tom, thank you for expressing the truth about Mark. He's a defender, not an aggressor until he feels the need to call someone out on being a bully. It's ridiculous that a poetry site has people who'd rather argue than write poetry... harass others with negativity instead of finding something positive with which to encourage. Honestly, I'm disgusted with the repeated insults aimed at Milt. He's done nothing to deserve her animosity, but she's written a lot of ugly untruths about him. She should hang her head in shame.

Perfecto, Jenna. So glad to see you wrote this. I don't know the full story about TO or MW, but I saw enough of TO to know that he was a troublemaking sh*t-stirrer. I loved it that we have a sheriff who won't put up with this type of riff-raff. I will stand up and fight for what's right any time I need to, and I'm happy you do, too.

I'd rather not have to write this kind of stuff but ignoring their harassment hasn't solved the problem. So, I'll write what I feel I must. I know you do, too, Milt. I appreciate you for that.

Hi Paulette, It's not just me, but there's no place for such nonsense on a poetry site. Thanks!

People need to cop on Jenna, Mark is no Troll, he treats people with the same respect as they treat him, and if that is perceived as treating others with the same contempt they treat him, that’s their problem and not his, you are a victim of bullying on this site, and if you want to call out and defend the site against bullies and trolls, you have every right to do so, it’s called standing your ground, which indeed you do, cheers David

David, thank you for seeing the real crux of the matter here. Several of us have been harassed, although denied by the offenders. When we stand our ground, we become accused of being the bullies, and they pretend that they are the victims. It's BS.

I'll always have your back because you continue to defend those of us who write the truth about who the real bullies are/were. No one shoots at the sheriff without having a shot taken at them in return.
