A Courteous and Honorable Bump War.
Any courteous and honorable bump war, whether real or imaginary, should consist
of original posts that are a sincere attempt to comply with, expand, or constructively
address a topic.
In my opinion, I think Lizzie's and Vagabond's posts of original poetry to an NaPM thread
that specifically welcomed late admissions were acceptable.
I think Billy's repetitive posting of a single short line to the NaPoMo NZ threads was not.
I also think that in closing that NaPM thread and censoring the Zombie NaPM thread by
moving it to the restricted Pig's Arse, Billy unfairly used his authority.
Billy should apologize to Lizzie and Vagabond, open the NaPM thread, and restore the Zombie
NaPM thread to it's original location.
PigPen is more than big enough to accommodate all legitimate posts, especially ones consisting
of original poetry. If someone is intent on seeing a topic at the "top" of the queue, they should
promote it legitimately by posting an original poem or non-trivial comment.

The irony of complaining about people writing poetry on a poetry forum.
If you really want to get even with billy, register 20 fake accounts and start posting goatse everywhere.
It's billy's site, he can't misuse his authority. He is the authority.

I love the idea of bumping old NaPM threads with new poetry!
However, we are currently running the NZ NaPM and while I am sure no disrespect was meant to one of our most respected and loved members, why not avoid even the appearance of gross disrespect?
IOW - great idea, bad timing.
Let’s talk in November.
