| what would be the reason for sending this to the workshop? it's a minimalist text with the usual poly-semantic turns we find in dan's poems. "high hell" is really a cumulative mood, a series of small bites, an annoying buzz just beyond the horizon of consciousness. i really hope is not "a priest hung from/ a saxophone". if it is, we have a real problem here... | |
| = Mr. Amariutei... | Romulus Campan Maramuresanu [22.May.07 17:45] |
| I am very glad to realise how much you appreciate "dan"'s minimalist writing(s). Nevertheless, as any editor's - another reader in the end - my judgements about any text are subjectively justifiable. If my editorial filters qualify a text for workshop, I will send the text there, without asking your opinion. The last part of your comment doesn't have anything to do with the giving of stars, as it has to do with me, rather than with the text. So for the future, keep yourself within the rules of giving stars, without subtle personal attacks, and PLEASE do us a favour, and add some biography info required by your access level, ASAP. Thank you. | |
| = just to make sure.... | Romulus Campan Maramuresanu [22.May.07 21:30] |
| Mr. "dan", The mild tone of your reply seems funny after the "imbecile, fat f**k" stuff you called the editor daring not to especially like your writing. It's not the encounter with any editor that drops your level, but the execrable tone and style of your replies. As you continue to do in your last diatribe... It's my merciful attitude only which makes me reply to the garbage you allow yourself to pour on anyone you think your hidden “status” allows. Mr. Amariutei I understand out of your very spiritual twist, that you understood my request. As it's the site's owner who established the rules, we both have to comply, each according to his/her level. Please make sure you do your part ASAP. Thank you... | |
| = a conclusion. | Radu Herinean [23.May.07 11:55] |
| the challenge regarding the text classification would have been valid only before we saw the content of the first comment posted by the author. at that point the downgrade to level -20 was fully justified, so from now on any rating of "workshop only" can be seen as a favor, not as a penalty, since the grade for such members is "member page only". we will reconsider the value and the classification of your texts ONLY after we will see full and sincere appologies for the language and the attitude towards the editors, and ONLY after the full biographical details will be filed in. | |

| you know about our previous conflicts we had before. cause i am not spiteful, i raised your level again.you don't write bad at all, the only problem is that you react like hell, offending people, not defending your poetry. so? | |
| = felix, dude, : ) | dan [24.May.07 15:46] |
| dear Felix, I admit my temper is lousy. But when it comes to the things that I love... such as music and writing I can not "behave". You tell me to defend my poetry. I don't think I write "poetry". It's just...writing. You people seem to do very well at seeking meaning and defining ideas and literary trends & currents. I don't really care much about that. I believe that words are free. The freedom of words often becomes the freedom of the reader. It's like painting and playing music. If you're in the right light you can just mix whatever you got and create something (allowing it to be free of meaning and purpose). which I think is essential. It's too late to elaborate and encript messages. I hate readers who like to become "decoders". It's a trip, a ride (excuse the hippie bullshit) that you adhere to. Isn't it nice? A theory of living words. To me, writing starts with words that need to be born and set free. The thing that bothered me was that the editor sent the text to the workshop without justifying his action. Which I think is unfair. Editors have the responsability to justify their actions. I have no problem with him not liking my texts. I sometimes hate them too :) But it would have been damn nice if he would have written a few words .. telling me what he disliked. The text itself is open to interpretation and i admit that. But still... Poets are an interesting species... aren't they? Well I doubt that this comment will appear under my text, as a fair chance of defense (as you say) but still.. Here's my answer. Cheers. | |
| = Keep writing, Dan, I know you're capable. | John Willy Kopperud [03.Jun.07 22:47] |
I wonder, Dan, if you weren't so fuzzy, would your best contributions be as good as they are? On the other hand I get a clear picture of the editors problem... I do wish that this poem just could be discussed as such. Maybe I wish for too much. Anyway I share Ions opinion when he points out that this particular text really doesn't belong in the workshop.
