Lets give peace a chance... John & Yoko Lost another great mind, did we at AD, Another mind lost at AD, Another intelligence allowed to be banished, His intelligence was like mine, famished, But was not allowed to continue, he has since vanished.. His beef with a person from eastern Europe, Could not be repaired, such a dope, Someone else with a classy name, needs for their mouth some soap, Seems others were mentioned, but no names do I herein say, Although I would be remiss if I did not at least desire herein some hope.. Why does this have to happen? Can we not all just get along? I have felt so far that I did enjoy to herein belong, What is the problem, what is so wrong? Are all sites like this, where writers do congregate? Are we not here just to write, not to berate? Seems everyday I do read of someone else getting a bit irate, Personally I do come here to have fun and create, Instead I do notice, unfortunately, a great deal of hate.. � ed ~ 12/15/04

I agree with Mr. Lanechanger... two people in particular I've read have named HIS name IN PUBLIC and, though that's supposed to be against Matt's rules, they remain members, unbothered by any repercussions. The man you speak of named NO ONE where others could read their names, yet he's banned.

I've seen evidence to prove some wrongdoing by a number of people who are welcome and thriving here in AD. Beware of the "squeaky wheel"... it may get the entire vehicle junked!

I'm done now. I want nothing... NOTHING... to do with any of this... I never did! I'm just more cautious about who I befriend. katy xox. p.s. You, my dear, are at the top of my list! (grin)

All I can say I miss all my good friends I had over the last two years....and are not sure what is going on...but I do know my name was involved without my knowledge and even some of my works I had to remove over some vendetta that I did not even know I was part of....someone using my name to do their dirty work. Saying I was part of a gossip BULLSHIT...May God forgive me..but I do hope those that did this to me will tell me WHY...then I might snap out of the state of mind I'm in this very moment!!

Love Tinka

I have heard nothing but whispers, Ed, so I am really not privy to exactly what you are speaking of, but I will agree with you, whole heartedly, that we should be here to write, not to fight. I, too, come here to enjoy and to relax...all the hatred and annimosity; I find it to be disgusting and childish.
Take care,
Sherry

Ed, the poetry is excellent, and the message is one of absolute utter disgust. It saddens me deeply that a brilliant writer and friend has been locked-out, and told he was no longer welcomed. The so-called false infractions, accusations and innuendos were from last year. Some deeply disturbed individual�s, who actually started them other than a mutual well-respected writer they�ve banished, caused it. Yet, there are also some on this board who openly write a name, without being reprimanded or removed. It�s the old double standard. Thanks for sharing some well thought out sentiments. You�re a great man! Peace thru remembering and standing up for a wonderful human being.
