Don't listen to this bullshit, little_angel_maria. All I can say is that there is no excuse for rudeness, whether your poetry is bad or not. There are ways of expressing one's opinion on a piece, be it laudatory or otherwise, without resorting to malicious insults. Have a great time at poemeranker!

hey, i'm already craig david's girl 2003. but i made him go get shots after he was with you. and unity, dammit, i told you not to lend out my damn vaccuum cleaner. especially not to some barfly.

i see your email is craigdavids_girl2002. who's craig david's girl going to be in 2003? i can't imagine anyone putting up with your towering ignorance for very long (unless craig david is Blade). your mother's cunt smells like carpet cleaner.

My dear girl, I have no problem. (Apart from being insane, of course.) I am naturally rude. And I am not 'on your case', as you put it. I comment on many poems and am rude to many people if I consider their poetry to be bad. I have taken to going on once a day or so and voting and occasionally commenting on all the poems in the 'Recent' section. Your request that I leave you alone leads us to believe that we are not allowed to comment on your poetry unless we like it. Maria darling, the world doesn't work that way. By posting your poetry here, you are implicitely inviting us to comment, and if you cannot accept negative criticism without these various overreactions of yours, you are doomed. There is a pack of very nasty jackals on this site (i.e., when there's no one around to slaughter, we turn on each other). I happen to be a member of it. If you want to make your life as a poet (or at least a large part of it), you'll have to understand that it's impossible for everyone to like your poetry. there will be bad reviews. there will be laughter. Everyone on this site has received comments like that. Get used to it. If your only retaliation whenever someone doesn't like something you wrote is 'Why are you so fucking rude?' you won't go very far, I'm afraid. No one will listen to you or read you. I am not on your case because it's you: I genuinely don't find your poetry very good. If one fday you post a poem I truly like, I will say so, and mark you high, and say congratulations. But so far, you haven't. I'm still amused that you always answer anything I say by 'Why the fuck are you rude?' You are apparently a very sensitive girl -- in the sense that it takes nothing to set you off. Your explosion on my comment on 'Daywalker' went far beyond the bounds of anything it merited -- and if I commented on this one as I did, it is because I confess I considered it something of a personal attack. You see, girl, if I consider your poetry to be bad, I am not going to kneel down and sing an Ave Maria for you: I am going to express my opinion on the poem. That is the point of eing allowed to comment. Free speech and all. This particular poem amused me greatly. Let's dissect it, shall we? It comes across as a whine, trying to convince yourself. 'I'm strong, I'm strong, I'm strong.' If you are strong, then you can accept criticism. You needn't blow up at every little comment. 'I won't let you cuss me' -- assuming, as most people will, that you're referring to us, I'm afraid it's a fact that you can't stop us. We are entities in cyberspace. We can say what we will. You can't track us down, and I doubt anyone but nentwined could stop us from doing anything. Sorry. If you can make it on your own, then why do you need all the flattery of those who like your poetry? 'Blade will be there for me if things get tough...' Whoo-pee. Good luck. What can I say, I consider Blade to be an utter idiot, probably wearing a plastic red-lined cape, fangs, and makeup two inches thick. And who probably hasn't had a bath in a month. And will be there for you if you let him drink your blood. Nice choice of friends. If that's the best you can do... And again, 'I won't let you...' -- in this forum, that is the equivalent of walking up to the White House and shouting 'I'm not gonna let you bomb Iraq, Bush. You're mean.' As for my Asian comment, I simply found it extraordinarily funny that you'd stop us from discriminating against latinos and blacks, yet not mention anyone else. How terrible. The fact that you didn't notice it was a joke confirms my opinion that you have no sense of humour. And the final line: I'm shivering in my boots. Really. You're Maria. Nice to know you've got your name straight. Bra-vo.

yes. from your reply i see that you are a master of both spelling and grammar. not to mention wit. i am a wanker! god, you see right through me. and yes, you probably are bigger than me, since i am almost nothing, and only 11. i hardly ever contribute to this site. and, i don't know how to get my point across, or make a joke, or take a joke, or spell, or construct a sentence, or...jesus. why the fuck am i wasting my time? you'll be gone in no time anyway. have a great life, maria. you rule. so does blade. nothing but 10's from here on it. teach me, i am so ignorant, and i obviously can learn from your non-racist wisdom. pretty please.

omg no... 1st of all i didnt cause the asianns or the brittains i actually said tht i went against racism u fool so learn how to read ok and yes i can spell. and all im saying theres no reason why tingatingles or somethinglike tht shpould get rude to blade no ones great ere not even me not even u no one wer'all trying so shut the fuck up u wanker aight and i am grown up probably bigger than u fool

could you please take it outside? nobody gives a fuck about you. or hepcat. or blade. at least tintagiles puts a little effort (and editing) into his writing. you guys seem to just spew and spew and talk shit. this is not attitude ranker. it is poemranker. your friend blade has made an attempt at a poem. in my opinion, he has not developed it fully. i think there was an earlier version (y?) that went further? as for you, l-a-m, you might want to learn to spell, or maybe you'll save that until you grow up? why do you need to try to verbally intimidate people you will never meet? and if i want to talk shit about the brittons or the asians, no threat of yours will stop me. write a decent poem. that would scare the shit out of me. until then, good day, sirrah.

thx hep cat i know tintagiles i s a fucking bitch god u dont wanna mess with us britains man god!!! lol and by the way any of u mess with blade or hep cat dude youll fucking see it with me aight cause u dont wanna fuck with my friends aight!!! thx hep cat email me at craigdavids_girl2002@hotmail.com

'Jumped-up pretentious arse...' Certainly. I freely admit it. And I never mock Brits for their spelling. I generally use the British spelling. I only mock bad spelling, in all people, unless they're obvious typos -- which I comment on if they're funny. None of this makes this poem any good.

Then face the other direction please..

thank you

thank you :)
