I have no idea why you thought it was a good idea to come in here and shit in Tyr's thread like this.
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Saw his post the other day and knew it wasn't going to end well - and I personally would have deleted it as well. Robert has put in hundreds of hours writing here - and doesn't need someone fucking with him and/or mocking him somehow. Uncool.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

What a crappy thing to do.
Tyr, I really like Haiku. In fact, I wrote one once while on a lake in Maine. If I can find it, I’ll post it here.

I removed your post not only because it was a direct attempt to try to insult me but also because you were deliberately demeaning and misusing a poetry form for some personal dislike you must have of me. Had you posted a true haiku -which are never in the form of an attack or insult, it would still be present for others to read. I did take quite some time to decided to just remove it.
Whoever you are, I am not a guy anybody has ever got by with insulting or attacking without my taking some form of action that puts a stop to it.
If you have some kind of problem with me , come face me like a man.
I am so very fond of face to face settling issues, in fact I always get a big kick out of doing just that. Always have..
So you want to cry and run, well so be it..
This is about creative writing/poetry--not political discourse/debate or of a flame section.
Jim has the cage, go there for your stupidity..
Or else just run away-- matters not even a damn cow-fart to me which one you do.
I've put in over 50 years writing and will not let some yahoo come here to shit on it..--Tyr

Abbey, Jim , NT, thanks .What a crappy thing to do.

I think this cat is somebody that I have had words with before and almost certainly that I put in his/her? place.
Comment I deleted was obviously made by a person with some kind of hidden vendetta.
Abbey, please do post your haiku or any of your creative writing here, as all such honest effort and artistic expression that is not presented as an attack is welcomed in this section. I am fair to all- but I will not just sit idly by and be trifled with-- never have and I never will.

All of us in Staff are aware of what he said, and are dumbfounded by it. It wasn't resurrected in our responses because it was rude, crude and ignorant.
Our apologies, Tyr. He was either really fucked up or just hiding his asshat tendencies prior to that post. Either way, fuck him.
And now, let's get on with Haiku!
Beautiful March Day

Thank you my friend. Now this is a truly fine Haiku.
The imagery is fantastic and the finish is delightful...
See, good can come from bad...
We have this superb haiku from you in your reply....
I call that a win on this entire little episode my friend.
And please get Jim up off the cold ground and put him in a nice warm bed to sleep it off.. --Tyr

I found it, @Tyr-Ziu Saxnot
I wrote it on our Maine lake vacation several years ago, during some quiet alone-time by the lake. I must have been in a contemplative mood.
Sorry if it’s amateurish. I’m currently in a writing class, and am discovering my creative limitations, lol. I’ve always done and am good at technical writing- a completely different beast!
