a harsh yet honest insight.

Oh good. A topic I can senselessly and tangentially ramble on about.

I think what the problem is, is (isis) that the person would actually have to read someone's material besides their own. They wander in here thinking it's a vanity site despite all evidence to the contrary (probably because they cannot conceptualize any situation where they aren't the most important person in the forum), looking for a place to shit. Some stay (those would be the poets), the others wander off in self delusion looking for sycophants. I always (being the helpful person that I am) refer them to AllPoetry where one can remove any comments one dislikes. They may even be poets, but what they need to learn cannot be learned here.
Some people think that poets need to be encouraged. Really? You don't think the twenty million pseudo-poets wandering through all these poetry sites is not enough? I realize God is dead as I've read the modernist manifesto, but I heard nothing about a Will that puts someone else in his place. I mean come on, we just killed off the last one. If we are going to replace God, let's replace him with a goddess. I vote for ellajam. This place could use a feminine touch. I mean have you seen the colors around here...nothing matches. I mean all these dark tones of gray, what is this a Batman film. Extra-ellajam please!

All praise ellajam,
