I'd like to know what's up with the amazing speed that I get bumped from the site for not doing anything, when I am in fact posting. If I don't hurry up with this post, it'll happen here. Admittedly, all you have to do is back-up, highlight your post, hit Cntl+C, forward to the re-login...

Wicked! Laceration! *grin* Thanks, novella. Honestly, sincerely, the-paper-is-dripping-red-with-ink, thanks. PLEASE go on to the rest, even the older ones. How can I learn to cook better, if my kids' friends don't tell me what my kids are afraid to say? *wink* (Confusion in the first two...

Well I would like to comment meaningfully on the discussion that this thread was designed for...but spent so much time between reading that and whatever else was in between that I forget what was going on. And as I'm barely clinging to awakeness, I don't think I'm going to go back reading...

Aww, dumb luck. I seek criticism of my poetry like a little boy seeks a giant pile of mud--loves it, though he knows it's going to get him in trouble, but when all is sorted out, he's a lot cleaner than when he started. So mehastings, get out your red pen. I will relish it. But I...

By popular demand, then, I think I'll go with "blankly." It's closest--coldly is REALLY not what I want to convey. It's active rejection, not the emptiness after you've got nothing more to give. Thank y'all!

The usual goes, please give me any and all criticism, good and bad, that will help me improve. That's why it's here. Admittedly, this is a bit less wordy and poem-esque than some of the other things I've posted here, but hopefully it still has a quirky meaning. Disclaimer: This isn't about...

Ahhh, but my hunger for British humor is insatiable--so much more in my style than American comedy (which usually involves a stupid male, a pretty female, an uppity child and more scatalogical references than coprolitologist--or was that my childhood...). I even have been known to watch...

It seems this thread has moved away from critique of material to this particular board's dynamics, and as I haven't been around very long, I can't offer as (potentially) insightful commentary as I tried to do above, form the position of an outsider. I can, however, describe what I do see...

Heehee. I love the way that line feels in my mouth when I say it--the tongue wrapping around the teeth like that. Is it too unclear? Thanks, though--I really appreciate you taking the time, especially since this hasn't been too active a thread *wry grin*. I really do crave feedback of all...

I agree. I'll reverse the order of "it" and "now." I'm also trying to find a different last line for the first stanza--while it makes sense to me, it also seems like I'm talking about rape or something like that; I'm not, it's about succumbing to old passions rekindled by chance. Anyone want...

Thanks! I know you don't always want to do this, but I appreciate you letting my twist your arm here. I don't like the meaning of callous, but soulless has potential. What about stoically?

Well, in light of certain events I thought I should probably post here. I came to TBF on advice from phil_t, to show and get criticism on my poetry. A handful of my poems (old threads now) are in the writing forum--go check them out and offer insightful critique! Help me improve! As a...

They're even more unreasonable about typing away at forum websites when not working during work hours. It's just cruel. And the woman in the lab next to mine forces us all to listen to NPR. *shivers in fear* I'll take the next open spot on the galley.

As truly...amazing...as I'm discovering you all to be, it'll be first stop, phil_t, for me. The way his voice speaks in my head is EXTREMELY entertaining, and I can't wait to see how wrong it is. *wicked grin* That said, meeting Colonel Bill would have to be a life-changing experience...

I'm just that guy, you know? *grin* I've been re-reading my posts, and I sound like a terribly moralistic arse, in a few bits. I'm not trying to pass judgment, only offer up my thoughts on the percieved problem that was the reason for generating this thread. That said, yes, I posted in...

That's another thing I forgot to talk about that rubbed me as being wrong (not rubbed me wrong, as I'm pretty tough-skinned, and not just rubbed, as that's being discussed in a DIFFERENT thread right now *wink*). While I see your point about newbies having the ability to observe, I think it...

The problem with that attitude, Slacker, is that you've taken everyone without your level of emotional maturity and tossed them out the window. Now, they might be irritating, or whiny, or childish, or all 3, but they are still people and they might have something valuable to add, and if the...

If I could make the creepy Eye of Sauron screaming noise here, I would. Since I can't, I'll just note my semi-obsession with ancient history and the fact that the avatar requirements here were smaller than other forums and so I had to hunt for something cool. I see you all. *cue Eye of...

*Looks on clock on wall that indicated lunch hour ended 25 minutes ago* I should be paging through giant volumes of MSDS's so that our lab can finish its inventory. And yet, *looks at screen* Hmm........

Now I KNOW you don't want my deep buried thoughts. Especially the tiny ones. I may nose around a bit more than I had, since I now have some sort of stake in this community *stakes someone nearby in the heart*. I'm glad my comments were taken as intended, as constructive criticism, not as...
