Do You Remember Anya, Kate?

 

Do you remember Anya?

And WOL's Kate G as well?

Shining lights, their poetry

Such messages to tell

 

The site became too toxic

Poison spread around

They couldn't stand the tension

And left for safer ground

 

They left without a warning

Took all their poetry

There is a lesson here for all

For you, and also me

 

There's no way I can call, please come back

The poison's gone away

They've both severed connections

What more can I say?......

There is nowt wrong with strong views politely/wittily expressed. The period referred to was disfigured by the
overt offensive personal abuse that probably made some feel uncomfortable and it is a pity if that was a motive for any departure
from this site by others looking on. Even the closest "families" fall
out on occasions but common sense and time invariably prevail and
things resume "as normal".unless the word "reasonable" falls outside
the behaviour pattern employed...beyond recall via the intransigence
of vulgar conceit. The resort to foul language of a personal nature
merely enforces resistance to the content employed by the user !

I was in personal contact with Anya and Kate during this 'toxic' period. Their reasons given to me for wanting to leave was they couldn't stand the tension.

And has the poison gone away? I haven't seen any flowing round the site of late.....

I think people just run out of things to say and feel the need to pack up their things and leave. Why don't they just leave their profile open and recommence posting when they're ready? Who knows.

Then there have been others who post dozens of pieces over the course of a few days then buzz off, never to be heard of again.

The fact is Don, Anya and Kate G both went with no reason given so it's not possible to blame it on a toxic period. And has the poison gone away?
