Hello, Everyone

My name, is William Darnell Sr. I'm a retired carpenter, and a father of 5 grown children, 4 boys, and a beautiful daughter. My wife's passed away, 13 yrs now, so that makes me, a widower. My oldest, a son, is passed as well. I also have 6 grandchildren, 4 boys, and 2 beautiful granddaughter's. I've been writing poetry for around 20 yrs. My inspiration's God, my 7th grade English teacher, and my woodshop teacher. The greatest thing I have ever done, was married my wife, may she rest in peace, and the children she has given us. I was supposed to write a story of a tragedy that has happened to my family. But, having some difficulties. So, I'm just going to come right out and tell you. Two of my children had been raped, by a family member as some or maybe most of you might well know. My late wife's little brother done this. I hold myself responsible, most say, it wasn't my fault and I get that. But, the truth is, we knew. more to come... And, for this reason alone, that we knew, I hold responsible. I, as a father, husband, protector, and a man should have been assertive, regardless of my wife's feelings, having our children's best interest at mind, and said no, absolutely not! Ok, this is a Bio, an entry as to who I am, a briefing. I'll carry this story over to my blog. Anyways, that's me!

Best of Wishes,

William

What's With This Soup Mail and Derogatory Remark?

Blog Posted by William Darnell Sr: 11/28/2022 6:03:00 AM
I got a SoupMail from Mrs. Doris Bettencourt, and it was rather an unpleasant one at that. There is a profile but no poems submitted. PoetrySoup Staff, do you know of this, does anyone know or perhaps got rather a nasty SoupMail? I'd repeat it but isn't appropriate, but, under the circumstances, should I do without being reprimanded? It's a shame we even have people like this here, without being monitored. I realize everyone has opinions, but I'll tell you now, I don't care about opinions or what you think of me, that's between you and God, my bottom line. And I will not respond to anyone's negativity on this site either. It is just disgusting this behavior happened. Best of Wishes, William Darnell Sr

Thank you, Unseeking, for your support. Well, I agree though with no real profile, and no poems, shouldn't be allowed. I've spoken my mind. Blessings, my friend, to you, and your family, this holiday season.Best of Wishes, William

William, I am so sorry you had to go through this hurtful experience. I personally have not received an email from her, or whoever this person is, but have received a couple rather nasty emails. I agree with Constance and Gary - block whoever this is and report the incident to P/S. It is always telling when a person with no poetry submitted starts to slam other poets - to me a sure sign of a troll. Sending blessings of comfort to you. Thank you for alerting all of us to the situation.

You're entirely welcome, Sam! Thank you for your support in this act of unkindness. I know there are people out there like this, just I am bold to speak my mind with dignity, and constructively as I have done. Thanks again, Sam! I appreciate everything you've said. Blessing to you and your family this holiday season. Best of Wishes, William

William, I got a soupmail previously from this person with an account but no poems, which in my opinion should not be allowed, no poems, no reason to be here, should equal no account. She was looking for money with a sad story, I am not a heartless person, but know a scam when I read one! Anyways, I blocked her, and I suggest that you do the same, why be bothered by her again. I did report her at the time, but she remains to bother people, no one should have nasty soupmails sent to them ever, it is disgusting and low behaviour, blessings

Thank you too, Constance, for saying it. There are two different ones. One got or had rather foul language. And the other one is, yeah, a charity kinda thing. But the derogatory remarks, it's disgusting. I agree, no poems shouldn't have been able to create an account. But thank you so very much for your support, Constance! Blessing to you this holiday season. Best of Wishes, William

Hi William. You were right to ignore the message. Unseeking recently posted about nuisance soupmails from the very same person you mention. It appears several of us have had similar. I actually received 2 soupmails from this person (whoever she / he / it is) last week and blocked them. I suggest you do the same straightaway and hopefully PS Staff will delete them. Cheers - Gary

Thanks, Gary, for the heads up. It's a shame we have folks like that here. I know it can't be stopped, and I will dbl check to see if they are indeed blocked. And again, thank you. Best of Wishes, William
