Why did you remove your poetry so quickly when it was suggested that you were up to your old tricks again in registering fake ten’s.
There is more than Mor aware of your deceit on PC.

jee, this really sounds like a deep discussion you had. like, talking as though you really cared about poetry itself and it wasn't a vanity thing with you -- and during your discussion you talked about why a poem has to be a poem and not something else, and the problem for people who know 'book report' and 'poem' and think that anything they post that isn't a book report must be a poem. and i'm sure you talked about the 'subjective' word -- the 's' word, and maybe opened the discussion beyond the popular mechanics view that subjective means anything that's not your own opinion, and that objectivity in a poetry pit simply isn't possible because each real poet is inventing poetry from the ground up and has, in that moment of creation, no real notion that there are other poetry's at all, and that the fear that people have -- of negation of their identity here, as writer of poetry, is a jerk-reaction and necessary, but built on the notion that they're a poet just because they've written a poem -- when it's obvious that when, i, for instance, post in this forum that i'm writing cloggy prose and not in the poet space at all -- that prose, even from the most gifted poet, and poet in the mode, is still not poetry and still only works by reference and not concept creation. i'm sure this came up in your dialog because how you put your prose together to say this reflects such a self-conscious and intelligent mode of thinking, and not just a hammered 'mee think so right' point of view, which offers nothing but itself -- terminal -- and doesn't evoke concept and doesn't force the reader to think about the concept of rating and poetry itself beyond, 'they post 10! no! bad-bad!'. i like that about your post.

get better friends.

Jealousy.  :-)  And actually I'm 1/2 white, but you don't know me, so get over your shit.  If you'd like to come up to Maine, I'd be happy to talk about your problem with you though.  You're unknown because you don't have the balls to identify yourself.  That makes you a coward.  Show me who you are and stop being such a little mouthy pussy.

Mor likes 'em young it seems, got a real thing for 'tender schoolboy' mongs, a bit Glitter about it, if you catch my drift.

'joey' came up because mikebauer got banned from the site last year or whenever. what was great is that i wrote the same thing, in the same style, but nobody really reads carefully enough here to tell, and when 'joey' said nice little things, he was praised. 'nice little things', a mint on a pillow, when what's going to happen between the sheets is what most people here are interested in.

"sleep, after long chatting..." :)
