To Blog Or Not To Blog

The bulldog strolls again, looking for bully butts to bite. Will all remain quiet or will they scream into the night? To blog or not to blog, is that now the question? When does an intelligent comment become a loser’s obsession? The freedom of speech is a fleeting human right. We are still entitled to our opinion there is no need to fight. There are many bullies around that should have never experienced birth. That is just my opinion, for whatever it may be worth. Some feel joy and importance by bringing others down. Never let a polished turd turn your smile into a frown. You can usually smell them coming, quite pungent and not so sweet. I trust they’ll remove this one, when others start to tweet. More intelligent words of wisdom are brought back to our door. It’s too bad they aren’t any better than the ones we heard before. It would be a more noble mind to just ignore and move along? Your negative comments aren’t welcome, and they really don’t belong.

My blogs are mine a d are not subject to the demands and infantile whims of trolls.. GReat poem Mark. Wicked and evil should be firmly opposed. That the blog was aimed at me for daring to post my own poetry on my own blog was yet again what I have been warned about in private messages sent several times over the years. I yield not to bullies..

Rob my friend, I for many years simply ignored. I saw that only encouraged the abuse being sent. I made a vow not to ignore any more. No poet here should be subject to such abuse .. I will blog as I please and stay within the rules set by the site. If any person does not like that then tough. Don't read my blogs--problem solved. Nobody is forcing these insulting complainers to read!

Robert - good to see you have the heart and strength to stand up to them. So many have left or have sold out to TBP. And their new PR guy is in overdrive.

Some peeps just gotta complain about something. Must be a control thing. Good to see you and Greg standing up to him. And with jr, you sure have gotten to him, but to save face, the blog was just now deleted.

Most bullies justify their actions. It’s ok my brother you can just let go of the hate in your heart

At least admin did the right thing and took that hateful blog down.

I wish you could just be nice. What's wrong with being nice? Why are you so full of anger and hate? I pray for you and hope that one day you will find inner peace. Good day

please stop calling me the white knight. It's offensive and racist. You are making me uncomfortable.

If you use my name then people can see who you are talking about and form their own opinion on who the real bully here is.

I will say that you have a strong grasp for the obvious. But go ahead and keep insulting me on a public blog. Why not just use my name instead of being so sneaky. Or is that not your style anymore?

Robert - it is sad. That is why I think there is another factor at play, like I mentioned before. I think he partakes, then posts something, and then after the affect of his vice wears off, he realizes just how bad it is and deletes it. But by that time, some of his pawns have already gone on the defense. It is textbook Cycle of Abuse, except he rarely apologizes and when he does, it is forced.

Keith - I don't have the option to delete other's comments because this is not my page. And, I did not delete my earlier comment, my guess would be it was this site's daddy. That is part of the problem with capitalism, the funding trumps ethics when a choice has to be made. Or in this case, image. Similar to the choice you made when you doubled down.

Rob, it is sad that a person thinks he is ruler over us. And can send us orders by soupmail to do as he says . I received such orders many times in the past. I ignored all of those outrageous demands .

As long as blogs are written about poetry and nothing offensive, I don't see what the problem is, if a blog was breaking soups rules then surely admin would remove it, if folk don't like the contents of a blog than don't read it Tom

My blogs are about poetry. I was warned to stop posting them by a person that thinks they are ruler over my blogs. Same person has attacked me many times for 6 years now. Sad that some seem to live to attack others.
