the place of poetry among discourses

[billy]

All,

Can we have a discussion without people being insulting, or plainly disclosing their disapproval, inattentiveness, etc., without any hint of appreciation?

If you feel like you're wasting your time responding to the thread and the initial post, which I've already admitted is just motivated by a weird itch I need to scratch, you don't need to participate.

Otherwise, I think it may be time for me to just get away from this "place" for good.

Thanks,
James

you post this after calling what i post vacuous?

Billy, that's fine and well, but why do you appreciate a given poem? That's kind of the point of this thread, however useless and long-winded my inquiry might seem to you. Saying "whether or not you appreciate it" is pretty vacuous at the end of the day.

you start a post, and people discuss it.
i disapprove of how you start a thread. (a poetry thread no less) this is actually valid as it pertains to the main string of your question?
grow a pair of balls, it's a discussion. you're not being attacked, at worst some of your words are and the style you pose a poetic question maybe but you the person are not. stop trolling. if you don't like the answers you see don't respond, you are not beholden to respond the same as we're not beholden to respond to you (your words)
