THE GREAT WC FLAME WAR

Inspired by recent events

The Great Flame war on the WC
Lines that shouldn't have crossed
A battle of words and expletives
When all our sanity was lost

There was a s**t storm brewing
In another poets bivouac
Slamming poet Tate Morgan
and hitting me with an attack

Sniping bickering and backbiting
Bitchy remarks were said
So I got myself liquored up
and fired a f*****g warhead

A new low below the belt
Even for me I think
Whenever I'm at my keyboard
I really just shouldn't drink

Feathers flying barns burning
People fanning flames
Pm's going every which way
The WC went insane

By the morning a mob had formed
looking to lynch a vet
My big mouth had struck again
Another faux pas  to regret

Tagging reviews all over my page
Ricochets a violent beast
The Authorities need to neuter him
and keep him on a leash

Misogynist criminal homophobe
Cyber bully Redneck
Wife beating rapist monstrosity
Inbred Cletus wreck

The nasty pm's came my way
The blocking had commenced
A hate campaign was in gear
from those I had incensed

I'm not playing the victim
It was a stupid thing I did
I came upon a hornets nest
and kicked the crap out of it

I got what I was asking for
So it's no big surprise
The only option I could play
Was eat some humble pie

When you screw up that badly
you have to apologize
You can act like a royal a*****e
and still be a standup guy

It was a really ugly thing I said
to someone who couldn't tell
My comments weren't serious
but scarier than hell

So your forgiveness I'll accept
with gratitude and grace
But don't forget this incident
and lets keep this a safe place

Peace boys and girls

We had to start a profile because you have blocked all of jkhatz's supporters. Your apology is nice but if only your friends can see it, what is the point? I read the review jkhatz left Tate Morgan. She critiqued it and offered advice. She did not blast him. Everyone knows when someone is critical of Tate Morgan he blocks you. This was one of her biggest complaints with this site. No real critiquing going on just people facebooking. She said you were a misogynist because you said women can not raise good men.
You responded with your horrible rant, confirming her charge.
You made light of it. Calling yourself a villain. After that you said it was alcohol.
I do think you understand the gravity of such words and I'm sure she would appreciate but she didn't block you. You blocked her.
More importantly, jkhatz was one of the better writers here. She cared about the work she added. We've lost someone who brightened up this place.
Your apology is good but if only for your supporters what is the point? There is no merit. If you had been a man and reached out to her and apologized I would have more respect for you. It's not your friends you owe it to. She's gone though. you missed your opportunity to be a real stand up guy.

THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS IS IN NO WAY EXCUSING OR JUSTIFYING MY COMMENTS TO JKHANZ. Jkhanz had posted rants aimed at stirring up mud on the WC naming Tate Morgan and myself specifically. Jkhanz did have me blocked (and rightfully so) and I did try to communicate with her through a third party. I was told she was not open to reason at that particular time. I even went so far as to create an alternate profile as you have done to communicate with me but owing to my real world obligations by the time I could get in front of a computer to create said profile jkhanz had closed her account. (Much of my posting is done on a phone. I'm not smart phone savvy enough to create an alternate account on the WC with mine) Before she closed her account I was told by a party who is friends with both her and I that jkhanz said that "she'd not had this much fun on line in years." This revelation came as a relief to me as I thought I had terrorized the poor girl. My apology in the Dirty Sanchez post was for the WC as a community. Jkdanz wasn't the only community member hurt by my comments so I had to cover everyone. I am sorry I was unable to communicate with Jkdanz personally and I thank you for taking the time and effort to communicate with me on this mannor. Thank you: Baby Ricochet

[Friend of jkhtz]

Thank you. She is open to communication. She did say she reached out to your friends.

Like how raw and straight-up it is.

"A new low below the belt
Even for me I think
Whenever I'm at my keyboard
I really just shouldn't drink "

This was a good read, though I have to admit I don't have much knowledge of the recent WC flame war.

[Baby Ricochet]

Consider yourself fortunate. Thank you for reading Pollari

[Pete Langley]

Just keep remembering there are some sensitive souls here, mate. (I ain`t one of em)
Well written son. P.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Pete

[Lina Grey]

one of the more entertaining apologies I've ever seen... I'm glad you found peace Ricochet :)

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Lina

[Lina Grey]

[Marie]

It's not the first time this has happened, and it won't be m=the last. I was involved in one myself once, and certainly said some things I shouldn't have. Let's move on.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Marie

1st - as a poem it works quite well, good flow and a direct message.

2nd - humble pie was well eaten and let's face it BR, muchly deserved, but let that be an end to it, we can't wallow, let's pick ourselves back up and do what we love, write.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thomas I deserved to eat a bakery of humble pie for this. Thank you for stopping by and being my friend

[Emerald Seas]

Ah... peace! I thought we were done with this subject? ;-)
An excellent, naked look at things packaged in this writing.
Moving on now? Let's...

[Baby Ricochet]

The only person I've not communicated to about this is jkhanz and she's the one who needs to see an apology from me the most. If she wanted to come back to the Cafe she needs to know some psycho cyber bully isn't out to torment her on here.

[Emerald Seas]

I understand that. I noticed she's been on a few times the past day or two even with her account closed. I assumed you two were discussing things privately. Good luck :)

[Baby Ricochet]

Not yet but I'm hoping too.

[Helen Crutchett]

Oh I just love people to be happy!!!

Good one Baby Richohet.


Now let's all have a GROUP HUG!!


Yours in peace,

Helena ;)

[Baby Ricochet]

Group hug with jkhanz.

[quinfinn]

jkhatz is a proud but intelligent person...we all have our "moments"...i imagine that she will make peace....

[Frieda P]

Neuter is a bit drastic Mark, perhaps a temporary gag order. I had no idea what bivouac was, had to google, thanks, I learned something within in your words, and it had nothing to do with barracks. Good one Baby...

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Frieda

[Monster ^.^]

Peace, that's what everyone ever wanted. :)

[Baby Ricochet]

For sure. Peace
