It started with the willow tree poem and your right I should have minded my own business. It wasn't my fight. But I've been here a little while and I've seen what the approach you were taking to the comments has done to others who started here the same way. Sooner or later someone was going to put you through that big arguement we had and believe me I'm one of the nicer ones. Zodiacs a nice guy too but he's been here a long, long time and I figured he was tired of going through it with people.
I do still apologize for butting in. Yes there are some very cruel people here but you'll find they tend to be easy to spot. For an example: http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=130308

Take it with a grain of salt and a sense of humor. You won't have to tell them they're asses, everyone already knows they are.
Use the eye for an eye approach and make sure it's a zinger with no mistakes. I can see you're already getting much better at that. If you give away your anger (name calling is like a big flashing you're getting to me sign) then they'll pounce on you like wolves. I try to the best of my ability to go by these rules but yes everyone cracks every once in a while so be tough, careful and try to take the highest road. There are definately more people here who are quite kind (but we all have our mean days) than bullies.

Dovina's another nice one. I'm sure you'll grow to love her soon, as we all have.
