back in the day i was a goodish troll who could wind people up with little trouble. you're a brightish sort who's capable of some good poetry; i see that in your words but and this is the biggy, you're a bullshitter with a penchant for the limelight. while we're happy to take complaints from members we do expect those who don't like it here to leave...sorry, to fuck off and spout your drizzle in the local library, oh that's right you can't. stop trying to get a rise from us we don't care for it and if you believe that's not what you're doing, fine; you know now. personally i've asked for the mods to ban you on numerous occasions but the fuckers keep overpowering me. carry on and i will just do it anyway. place a little nicer or fuck off.

We have experts explaining why we should read Shelley and Stevens, and experts telling us why we should read Maya Angelou. Our experts are richer than our poets. Our fluff gathering experts can explain better in a documentary why we should read poetry than our poets have the power and richness on their own. I say we need poets who can survive without experts. And critics who are poetry critics and not literary apologists with talent for mere enthusiasm. But the point is, we wouldn't be reading bad poetry if not for Do It Yourself culture forums. And if not for experts in enthusiasm.
