Do you have 300 clients? I don't. I strive to be a good tradesman, and I practice and improve my craft. But if no work comes in, what do you want me to do? Sneak into their homes and dull their knives?
I've come to know Lily as a polite, professional contributor in the smarmy world of forums. Most places are overrun with fakers, liars, and teenage boys in their mom's basement jerking people around for a hoot.
Lily rose above that here. Yikes, it's a blessing that places like this exist at all.

Thanks, Chico. After experiencing some of the maliciousness on other forums, I strove to provide a pleasant, informative and supportive place. I'm not concerned by lack of activity, the quality of the content is far more important than the quantity. Members are free to come and go as they please, and are under no obligation to post.

No prob, girl.
Blood of my blood. Nobody pcks on my little sister! ;D
Things take time to grow. This is a good forum, we'll attract serious writers and fans of literature.
Keep working at it.

Bpublisher started this thread and for some weird reason deleted his posts. The ability to do this needs to be stopped. There are always those who abuse a privilege and that's what happened here.

Don't read too much into it. Guys like this always wind up taking their ball and going home. My guess is he sought to instruct us hicks on just about any topic. He'll huff in and huff out numerous times before he finds some othe people to irritate. I'm here to support Lily, not figure out who put the knot in his knickers.

I've been following this thread and bpublisher said nothing that made Lily needful of your support or anyone elses. Lily works hard on this forum. In effect, she is the forum. This "gentleman" had a confrontational edge to his prose from the moment he tracked mud on our carpets. We don't have to like each other, or even enjoy the genre of the writing our fellow members provide. But this isn't some ego driven matini bar where some guy with a fragile ego builds himself up by knocking others down. If we cannot raise to the occasion of a protecting someone no matter what the circumstances, then that very inaction says things about our character. I find it especially distasteful if it's done behind the anonymity of a keyboard. In the final analysis, Lily deserves our support. |

I deleted your PM to me without reading it, and I'm not going to read your stuff now.
I believe in the forum adage to "not feed the trolls." If you want to talk to me, turn around and talk to the wall, you have a better chance of getting an answer.
