Re: I Hate You by raven18 -=Dark_Angel=- 29-Jul-02, 06:08 PM FUCKITY FUCK. The reply I have just written was lost by a powercut in a lightning storm. Hey, I might write a poem about lightning, because I don't think other people have experienced it, or if they have, that they haven't appreciated it in the manner that I have, because I'm special. OK, let's get serious, twat-sack. You have experienced certain emotions, which are undoubtedly 'real', but not 'true', since EMOTIONS ARE NOT TRUTH-BEARERS, and can therefore be neither true nor false. Writing about those emotions may be a therapeutically worthwhile activity. It is only a poetically worthwhile activity if one or more of the following statements are true: a) the emotions you have experienced are unique b) you are special c) you have written in an interesting, novel or otherwise wond'rous fashion I have said this already, but you seem to be slow on the pick-up: NONE OF THESE ARE TRUE. <I love when he starts A)B)C)-ing don't you> [editorial footnote] So the fact that you have written about real emotions does not justify your releasing your writings into the public domain. Now let's address some of the issues you have raised. Who cares what people think about your poem? Well obviously you do, since you have submitted it to a web site where it is periodically displayed to visitors for them to read it, score it and comment on it. You appear to be having difficulty grasping the ramifications of this action. If you post shitty poetry to a poetry ranking site, people will, by the medium of clicking '0' and typing rude words, TELL YOU IT IS SHIT. You posted it because you wanted to. That proves nothing, except that a purely private, therapeutic poem wasn't posted against your wishes by someone else, or perhaps by yourself during a period of temporary insanity. I do not 'bitch' to every one who writes about emotions: partly because a few have managed to do it in an interesting way, but mostly because I only bitch to those who, by their own actions, present their shitty work to me, like you have done. You can't 'be "cool" for [me]' simply by writing poetry that I like. You'd have to stop being the self-centred fucking moron you obviously are, but that's not going to happen. And you are a fucking whore. [another pointless editorial note] Lightning is hot So don't touch it! It has no feelings Kills randomly Scares the shit outta children Makes golfers get back in their Suvs' Makes lovers fuck harder Can be seen from outerspace Might be the static caused by God's socks coming to quickly out of the dryer! Just ask those of us that know Just ask -=Dark_Angel=- Just ask him anything Because, his first thesis at the 'private boys shavery' was on whores wasted emotions & lightning. <The Bachus Tribunal publishes only the best of the undeserving some things are so industrially stimulating like ravens and lightning they must be stolen and mantled, parental discretion is irrelevant From the "Bachus Rhetorical Tribunal", all rights pointlessly given away much like your constitutional rights soon shall be. enjoy your clonings> 2002.
