Some of you may have noticed I haven’t been posting everyday like I was. Recently there were a few less than desirable notes left in my poems that really got me very annoyed. One noter left such a rude and disgusting note that I reported him to those in charge and they were terminated from this site. I also heard that Fred Peyer had a nasty noter too. Then I had another noter who wasn’t nasty like the first one, but his writing style I find to be very annoying and difficult to read, and I was trying to just ignore it. Then this noter left a note in my poem in regards to another poet and he kept coming back to reply to the other noter. I finally decided to hit the “ignore” button on this noter so he will not be reading or noting my poems anymore.
Maybe I reacted wrongly, maybe not, but I’ve had to deal with this before on other sites. And I have to admit I’m losing my patience with this BS. I’m not upset with MPS for any of this as they dealt with it immediately when I asked them to on the first encounter. On the second encounter I dealt with it in my own way. I’ve no desire to leave MPS, but I do feel the need for some down time. For the time being I’ve have decided to take a little time off. Thank you to all the great wonderful talented poets who have been reading my work. I appreciate you as much as you all have shown your appreciation of me. So until we meet again (hopefully not too long) I wish you all a very very Happy New Year and that your quill never runs dry.
Sincerely, Accidental Poet.

Yes, hurry back AP! 🙂
Hopefully your downtime will be short. Social media seems to draw trolls who have nothing better to do. This site is better than most but I guess it will always exist to some degree. Most of the people here are like family and would come to your aid in a heartbeat if needed.
Social media draws negativity no matter what the subject. Do hope you feel a little better after your time away, we all need it at some point 🙂
Like Santi, I haven't been on MPS a lot recently to see all of this trolling. As a community, we can't let people like this stop us doing what we love. Your poems are some of my favourites to read so please don't be too long! Enjoy your time off and relax away from the negativity AP 🙂
These people get everywhere MPS has been very good at dealing with them. The way I look at it, maybe wrongly, is that if you give in to them they have won.
This happened on another site I was on and it got so bad that the site closed down. Please do not stay away for too long AP, we will miss your work.

It's sad that you've had to put down your pen for a couple of trolls. I love reading your poetry. You will be very missed. Pissed off that someone is trying to snuff out your light and hoping that you will be back writing like never before!! Wish you a Happy New Year also!
Happy New Year AP take some time and clear your head , you are clearly a good person with a lot of friends ....
