People are different

It seems like immaturity is rearing is ugly head. While it is not our job to police immaturity, we do feel it's important to comment on it. People are different. A wise person makes allowances for the fact that he does not act the same way or deal in the same manner with all persons.
People are different; they have different personalities, different habits, different traits. What we might think is in good taste, another may consider objectionable. Often it is over very small matters that two persons do not get along. Therefore, to avoid a clash in personalities, be willing to make concessions. Be flexible.
Therefore it might be said that the ability to get along with others is a measure of one’s maturity. The mature person knows it takes two persons to make a quarrel; moreover, he does not expect too much from others and he is willing to overlook immature conduct in others.
If a poet wants 10 first places in their contest, that's their choice. If you don't like it just don't enter their contests. Simple. There's no needs to post blogs about it. If someone blocks you; so be it. We have over 16,000 members on the Soup. Now, if many people block you, look in the mirror.
Anyway, it is up to you Soupers to keep Soup a haven. Please try to do so.
