Beth Doesn't Want To Be My Friend Anymore

Beth called me out tonight: 

Answers Question: It has been pointed out to me that I am not the best of people. I am going to take a break and re-group?

Additional Details: I would specifically ask HH to address this. 2 hours ago

It occurs to me that I will leave this question up for four days so everyone can see it. (I will leave it up forever Beth, so WITH the parts you don't want others to see.)

_______________________________________________________________

 TBO's Dear Tick says for HH: Aside from:
1. Confusing criticism with insult
2. Blocking a friend instead of saying ouch (which this "ouch" makes up for,)
3. Trying to guilt me into kissing ass by threatening to leave Yahoo because I didn't like a couple of poems you wrote,
4. Failing to compare my critiques of you (whom I usually praise the work of) to Pandora, (whom I love dearly but hardly ever get to say a kind word about the work of,) and confusing my being a fan for my being a fool... and,
5. Constantly asking "gossipy" questions so that when I answer Peter can report me 12 more times.

Other than that you ARE one of the best in here. Forgive me if I respect your art more than your sensitivities.

Beth Responds:
HH the only thing I can definitely say is I have ever only blocked Gio. I am sorry for your perceived wrongs from me - but now I can see they are just perceived - there is no basis in fact. So see you in the funny papers, I am done with you. 21 minutes ago

Proboscis says for HH: You say RIGHT HERE: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;… That you have blocked Solace Befriends (HH) but then you say HH is imagining things. Have your snit, but don't be confused. You did everything Dear Tick says, and now you are lying to make HH the villain. Bravo. Good friend. I am sure he will miss you more than you he. Beth (Humpty Dumpty) knows that Solace Befriends is HH.

Beth Responds: Oh yes, Sorry Proboscis or however you spell your nose name - I did block Solace this evening. She was just a little more than I wanted to take. - But hate on! 3 minutes ago.

Additional Details: I had no idea Solace Befriends was really HH, Proboscis - the man is everywhere, is he not?

Additional Details:Where did the other answers go? HH? Proboscis? Vanished? Huh.

Limerick Twister says: Solace Befriends TOLD YOU he was Hiram and you blocked him, and you are upset because Proboscis removed his answer BEFORE you could REPORT IT. Luckily you have THIS ONE to report. (Beth violated this answer before LT could remove it!)

DOES ALL OF THIS MAKE ME LOOK BAD BETH?  

ALL of your reporting and vilifying A FRIEND??

Free To Satire? Not in Yahoo!

In Yahoo critical speech is not allowed, but in America, satire is protected speech. Does it bother you that Yahoo (as in Red China) speech must never criticize the answers to a given question?

Here was the offensive answer (which got reported, and removed:)

"A poem well within a question and contextual to it within, is without guidelines of questions qua questions and / or answer qua answers, if either pertain to the question of the first part, as a question with a category pertained to poetry of the second part -- I'm getting a headache. Give it to Lord Bafflegab."

Here is the question:

Also this relates to anti-bullying policy as an attack on free speech. Would the famous Hustler Magazine satire of Jerry Fallwell be considered bullying in the modern environment?

See my anti-bullying essay:

http://hiramunleashed.blogspot.com/2012/04/is-anti-bullying-another-form-of.html

See past use of anti-bullying techniques (as bullying techniques) in YAP:

[I have disavowed any attempts to besmirch Scooter with this page as he/she was apparently unaware of the effect of their words and removed them when made aware.] 

Anyhow, the abuse goes merrily forward. Sanctioned by Red China -er I mean Yahoo!

Have The Animals Taken Over the Yahzoo?

The crowds
do not murmur anymore
The only sound is a crow's caw
echo-locating the last
peacock's bones.
The lions are hungry
But the apes
won't come down from the trees.
Doesn't matter.
The puma can climb
and rip the fur
off their sun-burnt necks.
A snake slithers by delighted.

Lovers Leap - A redraft

Lovers Leap

 ~ - ^ - ~ 



Meet me at the top of the staircase

Where we can jump into brilliant light

Just this side of paradise

Slake my yearning to fly, hold on tight.






 ~ - ^ - ~ 



Meet me at the top,

Where God gave me wings
 
Flying in purblind bliss
 
Things that make me soar
 
Your eye, your touch, your kiss.






 ~ - ^ - ~  


So meet me atop that staircase
 
What a beautiful day, and wondrous night
 
Heaven's gait, you by my side
 
Could suicide be this right?

Meet me at the top of the staircase....

Advice from Solace Befriends

SapphireAngel's question:  Am I selfish? Feel very worried.?

 

I have been struggling with my younger sisters mental illness alone and told a colleague briefly about it in a text. I had previously said I was very stressed and she asked why so I told her. She never replied and now I am worried she doesn't want to know me anymore because of my family circumstance.
I am always there for her and although she is going through her own problems at the moment, I thought it would be OK to tell her. Was that a selfish decision on her part and is her silence because of this?

 

Solace Befriend's Answer:

No one can answer what your colleague's intentions are in her silence. A) she may be busy, B) She may be in her own crisis, C) She may have had a one way relationship with you where you listened to her problems but she can't do the same, D) or maybe she is overwhelmed by your issues and needs some space.

I would advise treating the situation as if she as a person has a right to take some space for whatever reasons and not make it a reflection on your conversation

If the friendship continues in the future is a mystery, but allowing them to do what they need to do is what a friend would do. It is not selfish to make everything about ourselves, it is a natural response. To step above that and allow others to do what they need to do, is in the end better self-care.

Egotistical Selfishness: Running around with a rubber stamp saying "ME" and making everything about me: my friend, my needs, my work, my role...

Self-Centered Selfishness: Putting my needs first and focusing INWARDS, so that I can stand on my own two feet and have anything INSIDE to give to others.

If you were sinking in quicksand the Egoist is useless (too far off balance focusing outwards) but the Self-Centered one could be a lifesaver.

Be the second kind of selfish, not the first. Take Care of yourself and don't worry what others are thinking. It is none of our business what others think of us.

Poetic Clean-up

On a beauteous day at a family picnic
I have to bow out for a drunken sick
Please read this careful, it clever and obscure
No one knows porcelain like a drunk internet whore.

Diary of a Troll

Switching accounts causes me to sweat
They'll ne'er recognize me now I'll bet
I hide the hand that tips off the mind
I'm stupid and insane, hope the readers are blind!
But my hemorrhoids aching deep and strong
Perhaps I have sat in this chair too long

Satan's corpse

I found a devil in my own back yard
And hit him with my shovel HARD
But finding he was still quite alert
I tried to pile him up with dirt
Now in my garden, nothing grows
No flowers, nor leaves
...just the Devil's nose!

It wasn't the devil that killed my joy
It was my own hasty digging - excitable boy!

Swallowing the Worm

Tossing the bottle off the porch
"I've had enough!" my pal fetched it of course
If I had dumped it or drank five more swigs
He wouldn't have poisoned himself with the whole thing.
Standing over his sorrowful grave
How did the worms taste
How do the worms like YOU Dave?

Dave almost made the worst list on Sunday, but others have just been badder.

Quote of the week (TBO complaining about his own typical behavior in others:
"personally,I try to make others look into a mirror. PRIDE causes them to post after saying they left. some can not take even a hint of correction. but come back for more .then cry over TD."

Koye continues to return and destroy his fantastic reputation as a poet by writing trite, knee-jerk liberal truisms as if they were deep insights, like this one:

This one is not a surprise as Gene is always a likely candidate for the worst list. If I were to write the above in Gene's style it would day this:

This one not surprise
Always a likely
Gene for the worst list
Write it in
The style of above

[It actually reads better because you already know what I am trying to say.]

How about this one:

Broken phrases
writing does not constitute
Poetry, impressed
People are by the amateur.
Why?

Which means:

Writing in broken phrases does not constitute poetry. Why are people so impressed by this amateur mess?
