ahhhhh jeeze I knew you had some issues with those pricks ealier I suppose I missd out on the latest fireworks, well that site, is less of a place without your succinct honesty, and excellent ideals for freedom of speech, though we are not 100% in agreement on politics and such, I respect peoples expression, and freedom of speech is taken so lightly any more, its more powerful in my own opinion , than that of the right to bare arms, of which is only a hollow shell of its intent any longer as well, and the idea of a poetry site comig against freedom of expression is a bit rpugnant and offensive, it can be likened to a gun club not allowing people to own certain types of guns, and all of a sudden its no longer a general poetry and literary site, its a fringe hollow shell that only imitates poetic ex[pression and masks it in pretty words, I truely am sorry, sad to hear that though my friend, I do hope this avenua suits you, and whats better, is one gets to see a another wonderfully expressive and very interesting side to Amicus his photos and tales, and the places he has been well as I said a few times already, your certainly welcome here, not that in my eyes you weren't at the other place, but I think they have a bit more respect here for art and expression,
anywhos I am glad you are figuring things out here I am spendingmore and more time here nowadays myself, and its nice to see some familiar faces and names here is it not?
welcome again ,
kindest regards,
joe

Forgive me, I am rather slow at learning how to properly interact with the site. But I want to thank you, for any who visit, for your welcome, and for your recognition.

Something innate, I guess, makes me rebel at oppression, I would not have survived had a yellow star of David been tacked on my door. I do not and will not, let clerks determine my art or my attempt at it. And I will not, ever, let ignorance and fear, dictate what I think and write.

I cannot claim to speak for anyone outside myself, but when small groups of anal compulsive altruist's attempt to make the world safe for mediocrity, I cannot refrain from an obscene gesture. I advocate total freedom of expression, let the buyer beware, 'Caveat Emptor', to those who do not understand, that is what 'freedom of expression' is all about. Those who do not join me in my quest for freedom, are my enemies and shall always be. Regards...Amicus....
