kill the anon, reign in the alts, and bring the fucking thermometer back, and try a little boycotting of the dead weighters, the free loaders, perhaps that will improve manners and conditions a bit.

all else is bullshit

Long Live YDD!

anyone see the irony here?

 

[Angeline]

YDD?

I'm afraid to ask. But I just asked anyway. alas.

YDD was a woman, a retired professor, who found our poetry and spent about a year leaving amazing comments on people's poems. She was ill--we ultimately found out--and passed away, but her comments made her something of a legend around here.

By whom? I liked her very much and I can't think of anyone on the forum I knew who did not admire her and appreciate her comments. So who are we talking about here?

Also what is your point?

I was here, I saw the threads.
A little revisionism going on.
True most of the noise makers moved on, i.e. learned it is a pain in the ass to really write.

YDD died after a long illness, that she was able to spend time with us on here is remarkable. Now, better button it in case you trample more toes.

I stand by what I said. You want to call it revisionism, fine. As you point out, those who didn't like serious critique moved on. How is that any different from any time here? People who want to stay and learn, do. People who don't leave.

And I still don't see your point, 12. None of this stuff you seem so angry about can be changed by anyone on this forum. We have nothing to do with the submissions and voting system, we can't force people to leave comments on poems, and do you really think the "alts" or "anons" are going to listen because you say they should stop?

and reading this it just broke my heart, for even bothering her.
Most of what vitality I have left is reserved for readying my last scribblings.

I reread the thread Tess, she was one of the vital ones for me. Toes, Tess? She was the only one that left a comment one something I had honed and a 100, It was the one of proudest moments in my life regarding my writing.

I never deleted that email. Honed was her word. I got three E's that year and generated a lot of garbage. After that quantity dropped, I don't know if quality improved but most of them were pressed against the edge and honed.

get rid of anon capability to vote, to send messages, let 'em post their lame comments if need be, i.e. supposed viewers, supposed numbers.

You are the one who said she was hated, not Tess.

get rid of anon capability to vote, to send messages, let 'em post their lame comments if need be, i.e. supposed viewers, supposed numbers.

And as I said, no one on this forum has any control over that decision. If you want to let Laurel know you think the system would work better without anons voting, you should. But the forum and the submissions systems are separate. Telling anyone here won't help you accomplish any of these things.

BTW my Mother was very good at changing sides during an argument and throwing everyone too!

Demure101, thank you for the comment and the favourite, and I know you will revisit--perhaps you will let me know your thoughts after you have re-read?
