Nothing to apologise for Paris, I am also very busy with work reading writing and many other tasks. We all know that arguments occur on poetry boards now and then, I have had my share of debates during the time I have been posting.
Everyone reacts differently when they read what other writers post under their work, it is my aim, unless the person is directly attacking me personally, to either take it or leave it.
I thought maybe some comments I had read were a little too
much, with regard to assumptions of greatness, as I believe that every poet has something to offer.
Hence I thought, I wonder what reaction my posting of similar garbage would have, strangely enough I think the result of that made a good point.

Perhaps the ability to understand and separate impulsive or negative statements from the poetry and people would allow
everyone concerned to move on, as none of us are perfect.

I have some real good friends around the boards, we argue and sometimes don't agree, but hey! do we expect our freinds or anyone else for that matter to agree with all we say?
I don't think so, as individuality has to be respected, but that for me does not alter the friendships I have.

I hope you are going to follow this apology with a poem

take care

Rafael
