This is May B speaking:
Excuse me, but I'm beginning to feel a little upset. I know I may not have the right to say anything negative towards the people on this List, but I'm beginning to feel that I have been offended by two of them, and because they seem entirely unaware of their offenses, I guess it is up to me to tell them.
Really, all I did was a little favor for my friend OmniPotentata by conveying her thoughts to Mr. McManus who is her friend. And then, suddenly, he attacks me, calling me a "harridan," and then Quadruple Agent Prince attacks me along with Mr. McManus for being Adolescent which I actually almost am, because I am 19 years old. But I think Agent Prince was trying to say that Mr. McManus and I were behaving as if we had no respect for our elders, which I definitely do!
I was taught to be nice and polite, and hadn't even thought about saying mean things. My mother always said, "Sweetheart, you can get more flies with honey than with vinegar." I always thought she was right, until now.
I thought I was just politely telling Mr. McManus what OmniP had asked me to tell him, and I even extended the arm of friendship to him for my friend OmniP's sake and at her request.
If I didn't think you people were nice poets, I would think that at least two of you were vipers. Oh dear, I have spoken so forcefully! But I think that my mother would understand. She would know my heart, and she would realize that I must stand up for my own rights as a human being in this unsettling world that I think today is not as nice as I thought it was.
I am trying to still be a friend to Mr. McManus and even Agent Prince, but I've been hurt in my heart by their harsh words, and I am a bit weak from trembling with I guess rage and not knowing what to do about it.
May B
