So the \'final word\' from me:
Letโ€™s ignore the first half of T.15โ€™s tirade above except to maybe look in your spare time at the way the term โ€˜loveโ€™ is used frequently on this site, but particularly by the complainant.
The issue in the โ€˜last noteโ€™ second half is worth a remark to the unbiased: The unvarying phrase I use when responding to poetry relating to war, but particularly those on the topic of the 9/11tragedy is โ€œInnocent people die in warโ€. How could I ever suggest that was OK? What no โ€˜poetโ€™ who has seen fit to respond negatively to that phrase has ever asked is โ€˜what war? If they had, then possibly a conversation might ensueโ€ฆ..

Oh Dear!

It really is a shame, but on a platform such as this with maybe thousands of folk queuing to get on board .. it\'s gonna happen every now and then, write .. I am a great believer in freedom of expression and know only too well that we can please a lot of folk some of the time, but not everyone, nor even most, all of the time .. it is also sad that sometimes, some folk inadvertently get the wrong end of the stick and go off on one, when a quick dubble check, or pm might resolve an issue before it develops and gets out of hand or too hot to handle .. I rarely read the comments of my reviewing predecessors, but I felt compelled to on this occasion .. and it is encouraging that so far, as far as I am concerned, only mature, sensible and rational contributions have been submitted .. and I kind of agree with all of em ..

P.S.
Having been a good friend of DA Dusk Arising, I reckon he wouldn\'t have been adverse to proposing a kiss n make up (strictly on the quiet tho) and I shall raise my glass to him tonight ..

P.P.S
Talking about old friends, if anyone would like my spare copy of \'Just a Poet, Just a Poem\' by the late great Kevin Browne please feel free to message me, I bought two in the hope his family might benefit .. I am happy to pay postage within the UK ..first come first served .. Neville

I\'m still insufficiently awake, despite having enjoyed my Barry\'s cuppas by now. That aside, is this truly a poem per se? We thanks thee for airing thy complaints, and now, for another? You\'re not supposed to make me smirk and smile with such posts as this, yet alas, you\'ve got me now. Why are you men forever so amusing? Oh to die laughing! If only we could.

I feel a little like an eavesdropper here... I recall a similar tiff between a couple regulars on here a few years ago... I think one of the participants (the religious one) has quit posting, and the other (the nonbeliever) has passed on to whatever lies beyond this life. I try to stay out of it, but dang it DD, you\'ve always seemed a right civil poetaster, and I am totally confused. But whatever happens, keep entertaining me!

Modern Life

The obsession with \"security\' only seems to make my life miserable. I am quite convinced than any bush league hacker can get to my information easier than I can. Good job.

Modern Life
Cheeky Missy said:

At least your relic of bygone days still works nicely where mine kicked the bucket almost three months ago, leaving me stranded with only these handheld devils called cellphones. And that, in a day where some very necessary functions can still only be accomplished on a computer.
Lovely tribute to modern insanity with a teasing poignancy and excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing.

This very problem friends of mine have had. If you don\'t own a smart phone your dead. As technology advances I have to retreat into my cave and survive off of poached meat cooked over a permitless fire. Good write Dave
