One Side of a Raving Lunatic

Blog Posted:5/11/2009 3:56:00 PM
To continue on Michael's theme from an earlier blog. I've had enough of this. I've been harassed repeatedly by this menace in both his male and female forms, one of which threatened to slap me for a comment I made. Since I'm sure several people already petitioned the soup owners to expel him can someone explain to me what's going on?<br><br>There's a very clear line for what is appropriate on this site. I have made every effort to not be malicious or condescending to everyone here because that completely defeats the point. If I have offended anybody (besides him) I do apologize. This is getting very much out of hand.<br>

Yoni, I myself do not know what is going on, but I have always welcomed your comments to my blogs/poetry. I am sorry to hear of this harassment your experiencing and hope you find a quick resolution. Take care my friend.

wow, glad to have been avoided by this person (says Debbie as she spits on her fingers like her Jewish Grandma would have as a ward) also glad folks don't take "pickie, pickie" me in the wrong way cause I just love poetry and have so enjoyed helping and learning from all! Light & Love

Indeed, it is getting out of hand, Yoni. Quite a few poets have asked the Soup admin to address this and take action. As far as I know, we're all still waiting for a response. Love, Carolyn

Thank you for your responses everyone. I'm getting the hint that I'm overreacting to this whole thing and I'm inclined to agree since I can't deny a certain level of personal baggage I'm projecting through this. I appreciate the warmth and will make every attempt to see beyond the unpleasantness to the complete nonsense that it actually is.

Yoni, yesterday I received my first offensive comment from him. It wasn't perhaps as nasty as some have received on their poems, but said my poem was boring or whatever. Instead of getting angry....I just thought why not laugh and let him know he is so childish and not getting under my skin...so made light of it. He is a foolish little person...pity him!

Hi Yoni, he called me a "criticism virgin"..I thought that was pretty creative. I'm still laughing over that comment..but seriously..just forget him..he/shes not worth your time. I have an idea that if we ignore him..hell go away. Love, BG

There's one in every crowd. I haven't experienced it yet but a few years ago we had someone on the site that was ridiculous and the team must have taken care of it as we stopped having the problem. This is a great site and should not be screwed up by attention seeking idiots.Nice thing is we can now block morons with negative or sarcastic comments. Probably someone with a lack of talent looking for an outlet. God Bless. Vince
