Set my record straight..
Hello to all my neopoet friends
This blog is not intended to take a side with one or the other. It is me setting the record straight and where I stand here. First I want to say that in no way, shape, or form do I impose my beliefs on anyone here. Or my culture or race or creed. I am accused of it so I would like to make it known this is just about me and to ask others to think of things before they write words so as not to take anyone down to a pulp..
I do not disrespect anothers views or beliefs. If the subject arises then yes I do jump in on it as I have in the past but know after the last couple of weeks decided that this is not where I am or where I want to go with it anymore. I respect all of each poet's viewpoints and beliefs. Because I try to correct a spelling of a word here I am accused of pushing off on my beliefs to another. I am being called a liar, ignorant and more
I am not a liar, I am not dishonest and I do not begrudge anyone on here, however if a person is going to throw his or her weight at me like it has been done for sometime I will attempt to settle it myself as I always have not with having to report things to AEC unless it gets so bad that I feel a need to do so I usually can handle these things on my own without having to call in the big guys.
I do not like name calling or playing silly games here. We are talking of people's feelings here and their lives you know we all go through many things in life. No one here is perfect, everyone comes here to improve their works of art. Give others a chance as many of you do here to help them to excel, without beating them down.
If the person does not accept my views and continues a charade of arguing back and forth with me over my views or poems or belief then I type as of this day..there will be no more interaction of this sort now or in the future. I am done with nonsense. My bad poetry and all, that is fine to say that to me and yes if 20 people said that then I would really have to do some deeper work to advance myself or think of something else I could do with my spare time.. At this present state of my life with many things going on I am writing for merely writing and enjoy doing it. I am not here to start a war over words so to speak. There's that old cliche (Logic) we learned in chat one evening..
I did not come to neopoet to cause any rifts or indifference's or harshness with anyone. I experienced that in the beginning of my relationship here with neopoet. I tried to get on and ask that person for forgiveness and was quite nice after two days of back and forth. I realized then that people really are different and To me life is too short for this. I do not like how some people can not forgive but I also understand they have every right to do so.. This person also did not accept my truthfulness and continues through other means to attempt to discredit me. He shall have his say and that is fine with me also.
It's sad people have to be this way but there is no changing people..we can only change ourselves in how we react to the or not react to them. I have decided after a few months that to let it go, it is not worth my mental energy or time to deal with it. I have two very sick parents also, am raising a teen son, work long hours and share love with all people around me everyday. That is just who I am.
I want you all to know I am okay with these types of accusations but will say here I am not of whom they speak of or write about. I feel there are grown up people on here but never realized just how insensitive these rude and disrespectful remarks can make oneself feel, For this I have to blow it to the wind. And that is not being rude to say that either.
They may continue but I shall not.. I try to be friends with all on here because I am not a befriend-er in any sense of the word. I will not accept down right attacks of my nature or being called names. This is where I will have to call someone on the carpet with it. This is sometimes like two high school children that can not get along. I am not a high school child or a child period. Of course this goes on anywhere you go even in life with real face to face people. . I just want whomever continues this treatment of myself and others I have come to admire and care for just try to be kind in a gentler way if you could.
Please can you just get over the name calling and nasty private messages and yes discontinue responding to my poems or my comments of others poems if you dont like them? Would this not be a better way to interact with disagreement or viewpoints or feelings.. You do not have to correspond with me if you have feelings of anger, retaliation, derogatory or just plain for the heck of it. I do not play with people's emotions and if I have did this in which I am unaware by all means call me out on it and then let it go. If not then try to agree to disagree politely. This is not productive for this site here to do this. You may block me if you so desire and I will only block you after I have exhausted my efforts to reconcile or to be in agreement with you. As I do not believe in blocking someone either for that makes it look like I am not thinking or working outside the box and only shows a one sided mentality sometimes. This is nothing we can control of how others feel towards us or towards our words. This is Life..
I have never had to partake of this type of interaction at all. I hope whoever reads this may stop and also think about our young here and the hurt they go through mentally for things that are being said to them. This should never be allowed in my opinion. As there is free speech here I understand but I also understand that people are not all like me who can except adversity and go on. When you badger a young budding poet you just do not know just how you are affecting them with such remarks. I am hoping after this long blog someone will stand up to the plate and think next time you do say anything think of just how that person may take it or not take it. After all people for the majority do have feelings here and especially for their works and gifts of words.
WE are all here to learn and grow as that is why and what I joined this site for. I pray that others will take this site as serious as I do and know that it is a wonderful place with wonderful people in it. It's just a shame that we can not all feel the same way and for this I shall also understand. This does not mean you have a right to call me names and harass me. I have bent backwards dealing with this the last couple of weeks and as of this moment I will no longer entertain the negativity or the abuse of such behaviors. I am not a coward. I am a woman for which I am honest to the most extreme here. I do not live my life any other way. Please do not find all your faults me all the time as I share much concern for others on this site and love to see people grow in their art. This is true we can not change people and not everyone will like what we do or say but we can try to do it in a more gentler way. I can only say to forgive one another and move on. life is too short for discord.. Praise to neopoet for all they do i helping us to advance to our next step in writing and in acknowledging one anothers work. I truly like this site and will continue to the best of my ability to make my work the best I can. And to this I hope all of you do also.
I thank you for taking the time to read this rather long blog, as I just want to set my record straight. Some may think or say it is not so, but Mona knows..It is just that.
Love and Peace to all of you
