First-- is there anyone reading this, who feels they are ignored on here? I mean, that their posts are almost never responded to? I can understand why I am ignored. I respond to other people's posts but obviously not everyone, and those whose posts I don't respond to are ignored by me. And though there are lots of people reading and posting, not everyone of them responds to posts as much as me, or even if they did and some more, still, it makes sense that some people's posts would be ignored, just because you can't expect all of your posts to be noticed and responded to.

I wish people could share their ideas without completely disrespecting the ideas of others. Nothing degrades one's own point more, not to mention the intelligence and mood of everyone involved. When one resorts to this, it is like they place themselves far out in a muddy swamp, and act like they are holding their opponent there. When in fact their opponent is thinking "Um, I'm not in a swamp, I'm sitting in front of a computer. And beyond that I'm doing (insert fun, clean activities)..." Yet the original swamp-person is still in the swamp, sinking and they desparately need someone to pull them out of their muddy habitat. And if they're engaged in a "debate," then this is what it becomes; the outside help trying to pull them out of the mire, and onto solid ground, where all can walk in cleanness.

I forgot what second was. Second is forgetting the first, and replacing it with the third. I don't know what third is.

    ha, you are quite funny argletam! hey i just wrote a new poem, what do you think of it? it's short, after 3-400 short poems, you'd think i would have got the hang of it by now!

    Your allegory is quite witty, well said, Nik.

    And I often feel guilty of not having enough time to get to all the stuff that I really and truly want to go through and post my thoughts (I haven't even yet told PrinceM how good his short story entry was in the contest -- that is how far behind I am). In any case, though, Nik -- don't feel ignored. It is surely not that issue; but rather, it is a matter of how much time we can spare here. Hope this helps. You, of all people, cannot nor should not be ignored. You are a light in the darkness, a calm in the cacophony of life, and you matter. OK? Your friend, Kizzo

    Thanks, Kizzy!! I am not worried about it now anyway. Thank you so much. Hope everyone in your family is getting along well and you too

    this popped up as a random blog and I hated to not comment after reading it. I do feel ignored at times, but I’m guilty of ignoring. I don't mean disrespect by it, I'm just limited on what I can do. I think Kiz and Virgil read every blog. I wish I were so kind and encouraging. I find that even on line I'm socially awkward and don't know what to say most of the time.

    I try to respond to your entries Nik. I can't say all, but then yo write about similar things frequently and would only be repeating myself. But I look at your blog entries.
