An Open Letter to the AEC and to the NEOPOET Community

Guidelines are guidelines, as far as I know, they are not decrees/laws that are cast in stone.

Neopoet is not a prison system that hands down sentences and has no parole committee,
or a community that *shuns* people.by casting them out for *guideline* infractions.   Or are we?

I am thankful that our *revised guidelines seem to be less *gestapo* and based more on principles
of interaction.

Let Theo/kal back!!!!!  As a community we can perhaps get the policy/politics to change here. 
He is a good man, with a good heart and writes some awesome poetry; it's boring without him;
it's boring without Ephraim. 

Guidelines are supposed to be for the good of the community, how good is it when a voice is stilled?
How good is it when the community gets stale, full of itself and its *guidelines*?


With kind regards,
Anna/Kailashana
