No problem, Joe. I am not looking to take offence: I was just a bit taken
aback by the responses my posts have garnered here. It rather seems to me
that some people are very willing to take offence at things I have said in
all, well, openness, curiosity and fun. I have no desire to be anywhere I
feel unwelcome, and I guess it's time I left.
Yes, I did run this list for many years, and I'm proud that for a long time
it was a stimulating and interesting list. And then for a couple of years I
was too busy to participate in any meaningful way, which was a problem, but
there we are. Life is like that. All the same, I think it's a shame that
the list that John Kinsella founded, and which was called "poetryetc"
because it assumed poetry was about many things, seems to have become so
closed.
I want to emphasise that there are many people on this list whom I value. I
hope you'll keep in touch. Facebook is good - my profile is
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=608106651 should anyone want to keep
in contact.
I wish you all well. No hard feelings on my part; clearly things have moved
on here, and so must I.
