hahahaha - sorry :/ think they only took offense to the swearing reply. I does kinda turn some people off a post.

Oh well isn’t that just peachy? Okay, who was it? I’m about to break some skulls.

Just kidding. But maybe send them a shout and tell them to leave someone else’s post alone. If they’re offended by it, they can read a different post or close their browser.

Urgh. You can’t hear me, but I am foaming at the mouth and cursing wildly.

hahaha actually - it got 2 reports about the swearing and not actually about your writing. Sorry to add further salt to the wound. Im going to invite some people too. It did make me laugh :D Im sure I know a few who would also enjoy it.

Someone reported it? I thought you were just breezing through and saw the swears and were doing your duties. The fact that someone reported it without even contributing to the post is just plain low. That really, really pisses me off. Bloody tattlers.

Anyway, I did not for some reason consider inviting my more like-minded Helpers to read the post, so I’ll reopen it and do it that way. Hopefully then I’ll get a bit of feedback.

haha yeah agreed - people arent interested unless they can help or console the poor sod. Your just too confident :D did you invite people to the post? you should reopen it again. I enjoyed it once I had read it. The only reason I found the post is coz it had a report on it :)

It’s cool. I just had hoped more people would come to read it. And then somehow the post was removed from the bottom of my replies to other threads, and I thought, ‘Well no-one is going to read it now. Might as well close it.’ So I did.

It’s true, though, that most all poems that get responded to on here are ones that deal with ‘love’ or breakups or other common, cliche nonsense. And the worst part is that they’re usually terrible written, but Helpers go to them, reply with ‘wow nice pome ur good wrighter’ and don’t offer a single word of advice or criticism.

In short, Help.com is not the best place for literary criticism.

Sorry about all that. Alcohol and Help.com don’t mix very well. I will try very, very hard not to let it happen again.

Hey. Sorry your post got out of hand so you needed to close it. Next time this happens you should use a red flag instead of giving insulting or nasty replies. This will highlight the post to the Moderators who will come in and take action. Thank you. Ditzy and the Mod team.
