h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm just popping in to say hello and to see if you're okay, after all the recent upsets on the board recently I do hope that you are alright, you are a very special lady with a great talent for poetry and a good friend to me.Take care All love Rose x

Dear Rose, thank you so much for your message. I only saw it today as I have been keeping away from the pc and plus my sons are all on their half term break from school. I'm not sure about posting anymore on the poetry site - I've lost confidence there and am so fed up with the constant fighting. Was also very upset after reading wordplayers last message. I just wish people would realise that behind these pc screens are real people with real feelings. I wish I could give wp a great big hug - she is one of the nicest people and should never have had to put up with that sort of nastiness. Thank you again for your kind words

Emma

I'm glad that you're okAll the fighting recently has sickened me, the trolls&the bullies know full well that there are real people behind the id's&they play on that fact, in my opinion. We have lost so many good poets lately

WP is a very clever&original poet, she also had a real talent for finding out if people were using false id's, thats why I think she got 'attacked ' because the trolls&bullies feared that she would expose them for who they really are.

She may come back, I hope she does. I have given her the h2g2 web address just in case I've also told 'pencil squeezer' that neither he nor the devil himself will drive me awayI'll probably be harassed for saying that, but I dont care

I do know how bad things can be on there through harassment, But !! believe me I don't scare easilyI've faced a lot in my lifetime, so I'm 'reasonably' well prepared I'll pop in again soon to speak to you,don't lose heart Emmaxx

Thanks again Rose PS has always been a bully, I was warned about him before I ever joined the board. I think what sickens me is the way he gets encouraged to bully - I hope wp returns as she was an asset to that board. I just think I'm too tired to keep bothering to write on sites anymore - but then again, I haven't written anything recently lol, so that could change. I think the way you stood up to PS etc was good - I just find that man and his ilk, make me feel sick and I just want nothing to do with them, except they just won't leave things alone and are always trying to bait. lol Poetry is meant to be a hobby, not a battlefield - so I'm concentrating on home and family and job at the moment. Love and best wishes to you Emma x

the funny thing about the poetry corner is that it has always been the other poems that have drawn me back. I read a poem that I like and long to reply to. Pips, Pip and your remembrance poem were two this week. Yet this time, more than at any other time ever - when I came to sign my name in, I just completely lost the confidence to go in and reply - sounds silly but I sometimes think there is a reason for why you are prevented from doing things and maybe this is a sign to say that I need a total break from writing. Except I did write today - but they were personal poems for someone special lol. love Emma x

I have to say to you that I think you have been so brave in replying to my poem, I am so proud of you, I think your courage is amazing& I am honoured to be able to call you my friend A super big cyberfor you, from your friend Rose xxfor you xx

Please don't ever stop writing your beautiful poetry, because of those half witsYour poetry is very special and never fails to touch or move meI think that a real reason behind the nastiness is jealousy,cos they don't write as well as you&others

I also think that a lot of the bullying is cos they don't like to see other poets&their poetry becoming 'popular' Just try to remember when things get rough, that they'll never have such a talent for poetry, or such a lovely personality as you have Rxxx

I thought that you may like to know that a few of the other girls from pc are down here on h2g2 as well as us. If you click on my name&go to my page, you'll see them on my friends list. Mazann is known as 'hissymiss' All love Rose xxfor you xx

Dear Rose,

thank you for your kind words - and yuor poetry is never ever trite, it is wonderful and full of meaning and compassion. When I read your work, it never fails to touch me. I'm not at all brave I'm afraid - although I must have some sticking power to keep posting on the poetry board. Its worth it, thought to meet up with people like you and wordplayer.

Please give my regards and best wishes to all the fellow poetry people that are now down here. I would contribute more here, but I am having problems being able to post anything. Not sure what I am doing wrong - but as you may have gathered I'm not very pc minded.

You are the best Rose

I'm just popping in quickly to say Goodnight I'm up a bit later tonight as mom has'nt been to well. I'll pop by tomorrow&leave a longer message, take care of yourself Emma I still think you're brave, and your poem Catching Leaves is amazing Rxx

Dear Rose, thank you, I hope your mother is feeling better now. My best wishes to her. I hope you have a wonderful weekend - I'm on my own this weekend as my sons are on a RAF cadet camp in England. So shall be bringing in garden furniture and painting it. Big to you, and best to you and your mother

Dear Rose, sorry to be a wet blanket, wish I could explain more, just can't. and its not so much with poetry corner although that has hurt a lot recently. My ex husband is taking me out for a meal tomorrow night as he knows I've been hurt - and I feel so guilty because although he hurt me, I have hurt him also and he still wants to make me feel as if I am or could be happy.

Sorry, I don't drink much normally, half a glass and I tell my life story. If ever you want to mail me - you can find my addi on ukauthors under the user name of Emerald

Love to you and your family
