In the name of all that is common sense, where in the world do these peopel get the idea they have been published? What I mean is, there is a HUGE difference between having a bunch of rotten little poems you wrote published on some lame web site (that is vanity printing NOT real publishing) and actually sending a competent manuscript into a publisher (a real publisher in say, NYC, or similar) and getting PAID for your work! Those web sites and vanity presses take everyone's work! No real publisher publishes poetry today anyway. I have run into more people on Yahoo who say, hey, you don't know anything, because I am a published poet. These people are on some lame website for pete's sake, or have paid to have their cheesy little book printed up. That is NOT real publishing. Is everyone crazy? I think people had better realize there is a difference between real publishing versus on line nonsense. Also, many seem to feel they will be the next JK Rowling or John Grisham. Hello?

No, make that the first three. No wonder reading levels have decreased dramatically in this country. Ah well, so much for the yahoos on Yahoo!

And poster cheyan. I don't even comprehend what that person is rambling on about! I can't make heads or tails from it. Yes, everyone here is indeed crazy! I think this site has becme a forum for the whackos out there. So long to the yahoos on Yahoo!

OK, I get it. Those who are obviously cloning and posing have been reported. This forum is really full of whackos and hostile people. As I said, see ya, Yahoo. Whew, it's like an asylum in here.

i think you're right, everyone is crazy (on here, at least). i've been wondering for a while why the ratio of 'published' authors to non-published author on yahoo!answers is something like 10:1. i mean, it's pretty obvious that they're lying or exaggerating, but it's SO annoying. thanks for pointing it out! :)

well to elabroate on that isn't that the truth. not enough common sense and to think we are the greeater species. Look at the big poicture. what are we really here for? We've Man a fested all this that is without cause and cant seem to stimulate our own minds. The nest generation needs to wake up and use the part off the brain thats been asleep for all these past centuries. look up, to a higher self awareness and a new transformation of our culture. well back to my book, Astrial Dynamics now theres food for thought. oh yeah most everyone is crazy, but to be an amudaus you must be on "the Razorz Edge" thats that fine line wwwe sometimes tight rope on

I see your point, but it seems to a bit overblown on your end.
Yes, we see that web poets/bloggerheads are not Joyce, Steinbeck or Faulkner.
With a couple of valium it won't matter to you anyway - eat up!
EDIT: double up on your meds and CHILL OUT...seriously, are there more important issues in the world to worry about - like starving children or something? If wannabe poets boil your blood that bad - QUIT READING THEIR WORK...

You are talking nonsense. Where do people like you get off thinking that you have a mastery of the English language. That you personally OWN the English language. What are YOUR credentials. And WTF does the word "peopel" mean? Haven't you heard of spell-check? I mean, Hello!
Are they all getting to you? All the people who who want to exhibit their vain little musings! You never did anything vain did you? You have been perfect all your life! I bet daddy insisted upon it! I bet mommie wasn't really there for you was she? I bet daddy was embarrassed about that!
You talk about "common sense". How dare you! You haven't got a single common sensibility in that sociopathic make-up of yours. Not in the slightest.
Control-freak. Super-perfectionist. Take a day off, why don't you? Become part of the human-race again.
Read what you have said recently and ask yourself if it is the work of an ego-less and objective person, or the ravings of the most vainglorious douche that has been associated with Yahoo Answers in recent memory.

Gee, Ginger, you've really lost the plot. Too abrasive and lopsided. Every one of your answerers has suggested you calm it a bit. The issue is really unimportant.
Thumbs down to you on this one, babe.
