Wolfman; First, you called me a dinosaur, I was just responding to your juvenile name calling by calling you a punk. I thought maybe you'd get it. I guess not.
Second, where did you get the idea I'm a cop? I never said I was one, or implied to being one. I don't know where you got that. I've never been, or ever wanted to be a cop.
Third, I have a nephew that likes to read this forum. I told him to stay out of the off-topic and just read the technical stuff, since that's what he's mainly interested in. Sometimes people forget they aren't the center of the universe, and other people have the right not to expect off-color posts where there shouldn't be. I don't mind some cussing, but some of your stuff is way too much.
Fourth, I have been civil with you since day one. I don't recall ever insulting you personally without you initiating. I just state my position, and when you don't agree, you start the name calling, and personal attacks. Attacking W because he posted a sentence? Because he agrees with me and not you? Then you talk about how great prose and poetry are and anyone that doesn't like it should move on. Not exactly the kind of talk I'd expect from someone with "mad love" for everyone here.
"Some of the best literary works have included course language and slang vernacular, so either you have no appreciation for literary form, as you must read it to know it, or you just plain square."
I'm thinking I've read more literary classics than you, depending on your meaning of "classics". As for "square" that depends on your meaning too. "its broad meaning of a person who respects traditional principles", yes I'd agree. From my pic posts in your thread in the "off topic" section, I wouldn't think you'd call me square.
Cblast; " Its less jackass than suggesting someone with a badass bike and a forum to speak, not. For if we all just shut up, this place ceases to exist. I don't want to 'crowd', anyone's space. Just freely express whatever with no personal filter needed."
This after you posted to W;
"I would tell you to shut the fuck up but you have 11 posts. Everyone can say it better than you apparently. You got it right with ur post count."
Jumping down the throat of anyone that doesn't agree with you does not bespeak this brotherhood you keep talking about. Yes, you have the right to express yourself without a personal filter. If you're in a place where a personal filter isn't expected or required. Do you talk that way at family reunions? To little kids? You have no idea who is reading this forum. Just because you feel you have the right to say what you want, doesn't mean you should. Everyone should have a personal filter.
"seeking knowledge from like minded individuals"
Which I have been doing here since 2007, before BG took over. In those 6 years I don't remember anyone stepping over the line as far as you 2 have in just a couple months. Like I said before, I have no problem with what you do in "off topic". That's what its there for. You say just skip over, but you guys go on for pages. I don't mind the occasional poem/prose as long as it's appropriate.
"Like I gotta say, holy shit, who delt this play?
She pulls and sucks and fucks and screams and stutters
She got TC shudders from a g-spot grab and stab all fuckin day."
In my opinion, this is just garbage, and not appropriate. I used to read stuff like that on bathroom walls in grade school.
Last. This is not your forum, it's BG's. His name is on here. Friends, family, coworkers, other forum members, and industry professionals visit this forum. I for one have been proud of the reputation of this forum as one that you can expect technical knowledge, a friendly atmosphere, and an intelligent exchange. I'm not saying it's always perfect, and I don't want it to be, but for only the second time in 6 years I'm not feeling it. If this is the future of "literary classics", public conversation, and personal pride, then I weep for the future.

Before your criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and have their shoes.
