We share our birthdays, our successes,relationships/drama and even our short comings, losses, and illnesses. We have truely beame more to each other than then a mere pen-name. One of our friends- hell, one of our 'family' members has passed after a long struggle with a demon illness.. and this pains me. Grito was a smile, a voice to be remembered. He was artciulate, and funny, as well as one of the great OP talents we could ever hope to veiw. In light of this news, all that I can really add is that I know that I am a better person/poet for having had the experience of sharing with this man. -and that his beauty will be sadly missed by many. God Bless. RIP, Maddi&John |

The Final SolutionFOR ALL OF THE OUTRAGED MEMBERS OF THE ORIGINAL POETRY "CLIQUE" I was betrayed and viciously maligned and attacked by Suzanna Smith and Dahlusion, at one point they even joined forces against me. I was in a very bad state. I asked for your help, and instead of upholding my basic rights of "self expression", my posts were deleted, my friends profiles were deleted, my profile was deleted, and I was betrayed, maligned, and given bogus legal "advice" by RH Peat & others. I dared to speak my mind as a poet and artist, but it did not sit well with the small minded goobers and huckaleros who apparently need someone smarter than them (Dahlusional Gumby) to look up to. All I wanted was the same rights to express myself as those who were attacking me, but for some reason, Papa Pussy (Paczki) deleted all of my posts immediately, even though they were not personal attacks, and allowed jezzabel, dahlusion, and the other members of that clique, to personally humiliate me. Now I am expressing myself, and Papa Pussy can't delete my posts! Let me give you guys a heads up: distorting the dissident's position and suppression, is NOT the correct way to deal with criticism, and that's what OP did to me. I DID NOT VIOLATE FORUM RULES, I MERELY SAID WHAT YOUR "FEARLESS LEADERS" DID NOT LIKE! I had to endure the frustration of being accused of the very same crimes that had been perpetrated against me! The best way to handle criticism is to simply be able to EXPLAIN WHAT YOU DO, AND WHY YOU DO IT. Be prepared to defend your position, instead of doing what dahlusion did and turn everything into a "personal" attack, which it was not. Just know poetry well, and be prepared to impart knowledge! I DID NOT ATTACK DAHLUSION! I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS PERSONALLY ATTACKED BY JADED JEZZABEL FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD. I DID NOT VIOLATE FORUM RULES, yet it was MY profile that was deleted, and I was subject to attack and bogus threats of "legal" action. I'm still waiting for the Marshals from San Diego, whom "poet friend" RH Peat said, were coming to my house to take me away. I was also attacked (after I had left OP) with a ridiculous "Dare you to Challenge me" post. Don't you think it's pretty stupid to make moral and spiritual judgements about ANYONE, just because you happen to disagree with their poetic approach? Which would you consider more of a serious character flaw; Is it a sign of moral and spiritual decay for someone to merely disagree with your poetic perspective and approach, or is it a sign of moral and spiritual bankrupcy to misrepresent, mischaracterize, libel and harrass? Compare Dah's "Challenge" to my "Righteous Indignation For Dummies, 101" (on youtube). In the former, condemnation is being leveled purely on the basis of disagreement-on poetry! In the latter, poetry is not even alluded to, but ACTUAL moral defects are addressed. In other words, you don't just condemn somebody merely because they disagree with your philosophy, but rather, you condemn someone for being a lying, vindictive, petty, manipulative, childish lout, which dahlusion is. Without further ado, here is Gumby's (dahlusion's) infamous posting: |

The boat is only rocking, We are still safe and sound Unless we founder Or sadly run aground.

RE: Sticky: READ BEFORE POSTING!To tell you the truth clips I think its rather too little too late for you to make any stand about the site. You have basiclly let this whole site to hell in a hand bag. I know of countless poets that have tried to reach out to you and your response was nothing now you feel the need to play baby sitter. I for one would love to read what wordslinger has to say because what ever he says I am sure is justly deserved. I have tried myself to talk to you. I have written a couple of notes asking for direction and received no answer so. Please forgive me for my lack of compassion for you or should I say I am giving you the same compassion that you gave so many other poets that had to sustain insults after insults all the time while you were taking money and talent from the very poets you said you were promoting. The truest fraud here was never in the poets that came here to become a community but the lack of vision and commitment that you and your staff has showed to every one of these poets. Sorry my give a shit is broken and I guess my profile will be terminated but hey you never cared to begin with so why even care now Plot121 Aka Robert... |

RE: Sticky: READ BEFORE POSTING!Well it looks like the same ol same ol mess, little steps to try and provoke a response from people that have abandoned us to our own little universe here in OP, I keep coming back to see what is new, what is happening, and frankly am surprised it still remains. Also the wealth of poetry contained in this site is staggering, So much yet still we are ignored. we can't rise up and we can't be put down. we remain in this poetic limbo, we are left as a family with no parents, poetic orphans, swimming in a pool with no life guards, we will not give up, we have a life here, we will not be ignored, if not by you, we have each other, we are proud of our works, WE ARE POETS!!!! |
