Dnommo,
You know that I am sad to hear you say these things. Bewildered at the thought that anything you've shared in this forum has hurt another. I've not read every peace that you've written but I have had the pleasure of reading you for quite some time and being ugly and hurtful has never been a part of your poetic character ... quite the opposite as a matter of fact.
I'd like to take this opportunity to let you and everyone know that no one will be allowed to harass or mistreat a Member of this forum. We are all over the age of 13 and hopefully able to act in a somewhat mature (and hopefully adult-like) manner. This site belongs to me and if I've not made you feel uncomfortable then no one should be able to. If you posted something in this forum that was not a personal attack on another, yet they were offended ... that's really not your fault. Poetry (and most all things) can be perceived in any way by its reader. We can't be held responsible for where an individual is in their life/mind, when they read our work ... and how they react to it.
As poets/authors this is probably not new information. How someone receives our work can be a mixed blessing, as some will like it and some won't. Such is the case with most things in life. As human beings, we all know that there will be those that no matter what we do, our stuff just aint rite. Oftentimes, we continue on, doing great things in spite of those few ... and sometimes we remove ourselves from the situation, still doing great things somewhere else. I have no doubt wherever you are Dnommo, you will be doing great things ... though of course I want that to be here.
Destee
