| User | Star_searcher | 2005-04-20 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I am always grateful of people commetning on my work : ) |
| User | EternitysLyre | 2005-04-20 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Guilty as charged. Now, mind you, I don’t comment because, unlike most people, my comments are unwanted among the more delicate souls among this site. I gladly offer whatever help my twisted words can provide to the stalwart, but in most cases I keep my pen to myself. But feel free to ask me to comment. :) |
| User | WolfStar | 2005-04-18 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I thank EVERYBODY. Even the jerks, even the idiots. I try to read their stuff if I can. I just get so excited that someone even bothers to read my stuff... I HAVE to say thank you. |
| User | ladydeathstrike | 2005-04-17 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | your welcome and believe me when i say some people are not so nice but sometimes its not their fault, some are just born that way whatever genereation they were born into. Im glad to hear this

| User | Star_searcher | 2005-04-17 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I am glad to hear that you have not had this experience but it is something I have noticed (less people commetning or replying to comments). I agree that we cannot blame the younger generation adn I never enforced this point, as I really do not agree with it! Thanks for your comments ladydeathstrike.

| User | ladydeathstrike | 2005-04-17 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | meant to say we can’t keep blaiming things on each other |
| User | ladydeathstrike | 2005-04-17 | | | Subject | this is bad..... | | Message | i disagree with star_searcher and im quite shock to hear this, first and foremost its not the younger generation of writers that dont comment but everyone in genral, we can all keep blaming things on each other we all hold a bit of fault here how about we just leave at as we as a community are forgetting to respond to comments and leave the blaming of the sides to a more immature site. |
| User | Patricio | 2005-04-15 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | i try to reply but some times you just don’t know what to say

and not all comments give you much to work with |
| User | vedanta19 | 2005-04-09 | | | Subject | yes, right :) | | Message | people should take some time out and comment to other’s work and respond to comments received. It makes the site interesting and it’s great to know people here and their individual styles..so here’s to ’New Poets’ Society’! :) |
| User | redthewitch | 2005-03-28 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I think there are a lot of people that come and just want to post their own stuff, and don’t really understand the whole reciprocity idea. |
| User | Star_searcher | 2005-03-27 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I must say I am disapointed to discover that the general view is that the site has gone downhill since the arrival of more of the younger writers. I apologise for my age group!! Maybe we need to be stressing thanking each other more, any suggestions in here?? |
| User | pestiferous | 2005-03-25 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | actually, i have noticed the whole site going down hill since the boom of the teenaged writers... |
| User | Learah | 2005-03-20 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Adele: don’t comment on unknown young writers then. The established ES members are all rather well mannered and will most usually reply to your comments. |
| User | Star_searcher | 2005-03-20 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Come on you can’t blame everything on youth! I am only 17 and I am the one that brought up the topic. Maybe the people in charge need to be stressing the need to thank more? I know they used to.... |
| User | Rubi_Roja | 2005-03-17 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | No problem...it can be frusterarting...LOL
like a lot of things we come across in this life...
|
| User | Star_searcher | 2005-03-17 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Yeah i do agree with you Rubi, it’s just that at one point I was recieving thanks from about every 1 in 5 poems I commented on. Maybe I was just unlucky but it is abit disheartening when that happens! I just wanted to see what others views were anyway so thank you.

| User | Rubi_Roja | 2005-03-17 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Its hard...
i try to thank everybody who comments on my poetry and return the favor as well...
but sometimes I just can’t get to everybody fast enough...
I agree that we should support each other but we also need to understand just as we a busy and lead full lives that so do others.
We should try our best and be fair but also to be understanding when someone doesn’t return of the favour....give them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps

| User | magnicat | 2005-03-09 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | yeah, there are a few people i’ve noticed who never respond when i comment on their work. i don’t comment on them anymore. it just seems like common courtesy to me to thank someone for taking the time to read your work. |
