New Yahoo Definitions

A long and repetitive peroration going above, under and around the subject that it is a response to telling more than you ever wanted to know about every trivial aspects possible that can diminish, obscure and pretend to outshine your original subject -

a synopsis!

The state of being an outgoing friend who speak for a shadowy figure  -

to be shy!

A creature that destroys trees to make the world safe for acorns -

a squirrel!

Asking folks to restrain themselves while they are being slaughtered  -

a peacemaker!

"Why can't we all just get along?" - British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, dismissing concerns about Hitler's annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia, 1938.

Did I miss anyone? Oh Yeah:

To always be charming despite always being on the wrong side of things -

a libby*!

*Euphemism for liberal. Some of my best friends are liberals.

Why Reopen the Scars?

Response to Libby

The ground came open
and Hiram got closed in
In some perverse universe
we should rescue him.
But open again healed scar?
Feel that pain again?
Wanting Ian or Hiram back
is masochism pain.

Enjoy the friendly banter
But don't mention fallen foes
It's perfectly possible
To walk around without toes,
But if the lack of wiggle room
leads poetry's star to set
Just decry the excitement
of the "put down"
as too much to forget?

Why did things go so awry?
When did this ever really work
Do you remember?
Do you want that again?
Freedom comes with a jerk.
So blame the one's who flee this place
Treat reminiscence with scorn
When your acid tongue
is stolen too
will it then be okay to mourn?

When Danny Met Nancy

Nancy's post:

Nancy, I can make a very quiet peace as I have no say in Yahoo war or Yahoo peace. I am the Troll-wars corpse screaming from the grave.
Beg me to forget that I am a casualty all you like but I am stuck in amber. A squirrel put a bullet in me, to impress the ladies. "This is how you take a man down." But I am down, and calls for peace (which rankled me when I was allowed in Yahoo,) read as spitting on my corpse now.

Danny gives us a really nice poem:

And then bores us with a lyrics-challenged Adele-clone:

But wait, maybe I should only say nice things. WWND? What Would Nancy Do?

Oh, I'm okay, just confused by poetic rhetoric.

Women and Male Manipulation

I read a poem by Stella Rhodes today;
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmoPjmW586.DkK8IDgmqIs6n5HNG;_ylv=3?qid=20120224233649AAnaYUY

As a feminist, I will ignore the fact that this is not a poem and just say that this is an admirable expression of the pain of disenfranchisement that women experience at the hand of male dominance and brutality.

It speaks to insecurity when that often underlies women posting, their need for constant reinforcement (males can often critique each other and respond "F you" to the critic, all the while learning what they can from them, whereas most women, weakened by male manipulative criticism, have to develop trusted sources, that too often will never tell them the truth so they can grow.) This piece talks about the underlying root of many women's trust issues and

It spreads to women needing to be the peacemakers instead of learning how to say "No."

Lastly it leads to a type of woman, the crusader, who stifles free speech in Yahoo in the name of PC anti-bullying.

As a typical male, I read this and make it about MY situation. But what I want to see is the poem where a woman reacts like a man to these overtures, "Why would I want to do that? I said no already.  Are you threatening me? I'll blow your fugging head off if you threaten me again (and mean it!)"

That is the poem I'd like to see. I don't want to blame the victim, but no one else can rescue her, but herself.

My Friend, I am suspended, NOT DEAD!

What I would say if I were there.
A few comments on Love Child's defense of (pernicious) cliches:

Love Child Writes:

If we do not heed the lessons in cliches we so avoid,
our little parcel of paradise might just be destroyed.
Doing unto others what you cannot stand the thought of
is turning clandestine, subversive plots, there are a lot of.
I beg of everyone to take note of what you discover;
let us not pull wool over the eyes of one another.
Confront discreetly, with respect, by asking for the truth.
Do not be convinced of anything without valid proof.
And most of all don't use a neutral post to air your feud!
Will my poetic friends create a pleasant interlude?
Can I get your cooperation and make February 24th
a day all about writing poems that stand on their own worth?

---Okay, why don't you go first. That read like ten miles of bad road. How do you suggest I comment politely on being silenced? F--- that! When did you start working for Yahoo Answers? You are endorsing the removal of free speech. I would say I like the music but hate the lyrics if this weren't such a ham-handed piece. There is something to be said for not sharing every thought that comes into our heads, but defending the censors??  Maybe this one should have been self-censored.

I am feeling betrayed, not by the disagreement, but that you suddenly disagree with everything I stand for the minute I am unable to respond in Yahoo. Like someone did you a favor by getting rid of me.

Tragedy of Hate Fake Mail?

I received an email purporting to be from Tragedy of Hate, of the recently nice poem i linked to, but it was one of those 1-way accounts that Yahoo uses to send info and not receive. I think they may be harassing me now. What are those links again?

Email address covered so I don't get sued. I got a failure message for this response: 

Dear Tragedy, Read my latest blog post. Scooter is a professional attack dog who has people removed from sites to demonstrate how to use anti-bullying software/techniques. She is probably using me on slides to demonstrate how to make ANY behavior seem like bullying. If I were to come back, I could be added to her "stalker" presentation. How are you? Nice poem the other day. HH

A Cyber-Bully's Confession???

[I have disavowed any attempts to characterize Scooter the Squirrel as part of this continuing problem.He/She was apparently unaware of the effect of their words and removed them when made aware. Reference to Scooter below is merely attributing the SOURCE of the remarks.]

A Cyber-Bully's Confession???

After declaring that she or he had nothing to do with my removal from Yahoo, Scooter the Squirrel gave a lesson in tactics how to find some web site or group that can describe any behavior you like as harassment so you can cyber-attack and cyber-bully by using anti-bullying systems against anyone you like.

Below is a statement from SCOOTER THE SQUIRREL, and it is advice on how to use anti-harassment systems to have people ejected from Yahoo Answers despite their years of earnest contribution, aka how to abuse in the name of preventing abuse. (Parentheses below are this editor's comments)

Scooter says:

Report this to the following email-> y_answrs_team@yahoo.com

You can report them to the Authorities. Here is the site that helps with Computer harassment/stalking->

http://www.karisable.com/crpcstalk.htm

I'm know I'm not a regular in this section but i will do whatever it takes to help. I'm in. (This is expressing a vendetta which is abuser behavior.)

These are additional links involving on how to take action against online harassment/stalking->

http://www.uni.illinois.edu//~dstone/har…

http://www.vaonline.org/cyberstalking.ht…

http://www.rainn.org/cyberstalking (This one doesn't exist? But it is always good to list three links as it feels more thorough!)

Know what's going on everyone. No one has to feel helpless. (unless someone is using these "protective" systems to abuse YOU and pretending to be innocent!) Something can be done against cowards who feel they can hide behind a computer & stalk/harass people for no reason. (But nothing can be done about liars who use abuse protection to attack random people!) I will also be posting these links on my profile for anyone that needs them.

(Read the original question that prompted Scooter to confess to cyber-attacking me so as to remove me from Yahoo:

Now stop saying you didn't get me removed Scoot, and get your friends (Lapiz) to stop lying and saying I wasn't suspended!)
