    Nothing ever changes it will never be any different

    you will never stop the idiots.

    Yes some nasty people do need to get a life, the haters are the people that try to put the blame on the innocent ..

    I could care less I wouldn't even give them the satisfaction of asking why .

    the scum want you to do that ... They need attention because in real life they don't get any ..

    It's heart-breaking really , I feel deeply sorry for them .. Him / her ? whoever

    I come here to read the poetry sometimes I try to write a poem LOL

    I enjoy learning and listening to the critics , I love it when someone takes the time to rewrite my poetry , and I appreciate there comments

    I'm never going to be a poet be why stop someone trying ..someone enjoying a interesting pass-time ?

    Nice to see a old face Cassie :)

    Was it that one poem you wrote with all the profanity? That was a dark period. We were all so glad when you emerged, seemingly stronger than ever. Your poems have brought us all so much joy and love... Thank God your legal troubles with that hired mime who wouldn't shut-up at your kid's birthday party have concluded. I remember thinking, when I read your poem eviscerating him and his profession, "Damn...You go girl!" but of course, changed my mind when I saw the effect writing such a poem had on you. Suddenly, no one was safe: The ladies at the literary guild, the dog groomer, even the postman! But you've put all that behind you, thank goodness, and I, for one, applaud you.

    Seriously, I have no idea why one of your old poems would be reported.... It's your ANSWERS that were so offensive... LOL just kidding---love you and miss you, Cassie.

    Oh no Cassie...just when I found you again...I find my old posts being deleted too...harmless little ditties...now i only post 1st drafts on YA...that way i don't feel so sad...I wonder if it is a person or is it just YA...and wish YA would do something about it. There has to be a way to stop posts getting deleted...i guess it is just some control craving maniac who has no control over his own sad life. Sad.

    I did so want to reply to your email...will find a way! : )

    Good question. Maybe they didn't like the title or the theme. But if you really want to post poems online, try allpoetry.com. It has changed, since 7 years ago.

    It may be the same reasons things break,called a glitch.

    Other reasons are some who play policeman by arresting

    someone for walking on grass while ignoring the murderers.

    It gives them power they lack in real life.

    Been a member for years. To this time and date, I have NEVER issued a thumb down, much less report it. Why? It's just me. If you don't like or disagree, I'm good with that. Most of my posts are for reaction and laughs and never an "LOL". Why? If youve got to explain, I missed it or you did

    Yes

    Depends upon the titillation of the poem :-) Other than that, there's just no accounting for other people's thinking...
