L, You Were Right
L, you were right
hope you're doing well
i need to speak in bear talk
because they censor
those black bears down river
that tore me apart in the past
for voicing a clarification
a rhyme and reason i never got...to this day
so you see
i hope you do
i saw your comment
i knew before reading your comment
regarding a C
that the top 3
blue ribbons
writes had nothing to do with topic
i knew it
so i would think a lot others did too
i think its an insult to ones intelligence
to read rules
and see the boundaries having ambiguity
when it shouldn't
i know the purpose of c
is to have fun
but being robbed, insulted, isn't the definition of fun
i also know that there is a lot of subjectivity, perception
in what people see as being the best ... that i don't contend
somewhat
but i think rules of c should be straight forward
otherwise whats the purpose of having rules
one would think the spirit of competition
is to follow the guidelines
not veer off ..one would think
i ve given up c too
for the very reasons i mentioned
for now i shadow contest, so in that aspect im having fun
i do wish you the best, L
i can feel your pain
and empathize thereof
