my first exchange with Critic2

[paints]

For those of you interested in how to reply with a ""thank you" and proceed to learn", here is my first exchange with Critic2:

"Clever little efforts are his/her limits.

I see no depth of matter here, no measure of self, no world weary struggle, no philosophical musings. There appears to be nothing more than Readers Digest fluff. A rather soulless collection all in all.

One hopes there is a light in there somewhere for the authors well being."

This is my impression of his poems. Clever, well written, but limited in range. I could be wrong but that's how I see it.

His response (if I'm missing the "thanks" being offered please let me know):


"Hi there latest Baby Troll, I was always think the creative limit of your owner is thinking up the new names for you and your siblings. I quite liked "Sirius" as it allowed for my excellent John McEnroe joke, but "paints" only suggest that your owner is too stupid to have gone for "pants". I also quite liked the Glory Hog and Avalon trolls.

I think I have the message by now that you are angry and hurting. But could you not express this with some creativity, write a poem for example. Instead your endless dull trolling just makes you appear an irredeemable saddo and tosser. Mind you, that's fair enough as you obviously really are an irredeemable saddo and tosser.

Maybe you should create a new identity, hang around, contribute views on other subjects and then, when your envy becomes too much, write one of your formula troll posts. This is the ydf approach where a poster has no talent of his own but contributes to the general gaiety of the forum. That way there would then be at least an outside chance that one mad person could be fooled for one second that you were a real person with real views.

So, having devoted 5 minutes of my incredibly expensive time to a creature as hopeless as you, I expect at least a thank-you before you disappear in the same junk bin as your predecessors"
