to remove my comment and question "I noticed you rated Disorder as Helpful. What could I have done to improve it? to Ginzo.
The reason being.....this is a poem, no revenue to be gained, and I can write my poetry to suit myself.

It's my desire we continue on with our lives and keep things on a more normal level. I, for one, am eager to enjoy a more peaceful EpinionLand and let wounds heal. There may be more wounds in the future needing attention….
We need each other, we need peace, and above all we need to count our blessings.
I read a poem today by Helen Steiner Rice I wished to share with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Not by Chance or Happenstance
Into our lives come many things
to break the dull routine
The things we had not planned on
that happen unforeseen,
The unexpected little joys
that are scattered on our way,
Success we did not count on
or a rare, fulfilling day—
A catchy, lilting melody
that makes us want to dance,
A nameless exaltation
of enchantment and romance—
An unsought word of kindness,
a compliment or two
That sets the eyes to gleaming
like crystal drops of dew—
The unplanned sudden meeting
that comes with sweet surprise
And lights the heart with happiness
like a rainbow in the skies…
Now some folks call it fickle fate
and some folks call it chance,
While others just accept it
as pleasant happenstance—
But no matter what you call it
it didn’t come without design,
For all our lives are fashioned
by the HAND THAT IS DIVINE--
And every happy happening
and every lucky break
Are little gifts from God above
that are ours to freely take.
Thank you for your priceless gift(s) of love and friendship!
Dusty

From lammet: that bad things are bound to happen when one is not careful with one’s company.
Exactly.
I am not going to start a big huge war and this is the ONLY thing I am going to say, but how ANYONE can 'defend' someone who says THIS:
From Williampinn: my so-called inflammatory comments do not hold a candle to yours or the horrible poem Dusty wrote about her poor sweet husband--who is really a decent man. Why on earth would Dusty marry a man who is as evil as the one she writes about? Additionally, it is obvious to anyone who has "eyes and a brain" that Dusty's poem is completely self-centered and self-serving. She has no concept that her husband is a human being with feelings. Is it any wonder she's getting a divorce? She will continue to suffer as long as she remains a child.
is BEYOND me.
I just don't get it. This is the most cruel thing I've ever seen on any web site and I just don't understand how someone could be so horribly downright evil.
That's all I have to say about this matter, and NOTHING will make me change my mind.

David,
Your explanations to Dusty makes it clear to me that you, like Melissa, were a victim of circumstances. I apologise for having credited you with ulterior motives. Having said that, I would like to point out, if I may, that bad things are bound to happen when one is not careful with one’s company.
Sincerely,
-Vasilis

Re: I want (Reply to this comment)
by davidp24
Hi Dusty! First of all, I wasn't even aware of any marital problems you may have been having. I am truly sorry about that. I supported William on what I perceived to be taunts from smorg and criteeker. Since he is a good friend, my support was in regards to a friend being verbally attacked. Since I didn't even know of your misfortune (of which I feel bad about), my support of William had nothing to do with you. I've enjoyed reading some of your reviews in the past. I only wish the best for you. I was shocked to see lammet's remarks towards me - I am just learning of your situation now. It's true that I consider William, Dime, and Milena as friends, but I also think of you as a friend. I hope everything works out for you. I truly do.

No agenda. I just do not like being accused of wrong doing for being friends with them. I would not call you out if you were on good terms with someone I disliked.
I do want peace though. That is a fact. I want to see everyone getting along...once again; if possible.
If not, I will just steer clear of the site till the sun rises once again.

"MZ, who will you worship now?"
Since you asked, I'll worship the one I have always worshipped. God in Heaven. The Holy Trinity. The Father. The Son. The Holy Spirit.
Yeah. LAUGH! I am an imperfect Christian. I would like to know who amongst us is perfect? You call me names constantly, Pengiunlady, for defending my friend and what I believe in. Yet everyone is having a little party because one member is ousted for his opinion. I guess the shoe can fit on the other foot, too. I haven't turned you into customer care for all the names you call me all over the site and all the religious insults you throw my way. If I did, maybe nothing would happen. Because you are one of those 'perfect people' whom can do no wrong on this site, no matter how wrong you really are. But maybe something would happen?
You are SO Wrong. Never insult my religious beliefs and never call me names again or I will turn you in for every last comment you have ever made about me. I mean that, Margaret.
MZ, still here.

I want (Reply to this comment)
by ddustyrose
to thank everyone for all the support and care given to me at this time. How did a person like me get lucky enough to have friends like you?
I feel like I need to apologize for causing all the "disorder."
I was a real dunderhead....here I am living in my own little world...making a decision that was going to affect the rest of my life was not an easy one....it was a struggle to finally make the choice....not knowing if it was right or wrong but knowing something had to be done. I'm in this world of mine, not thinking about anything but my own problems and I'm literally side-swiped by a train I never saw coming. That train has a name, which will remain nameless.
Many nights I can't sleep...some of you will know that I've been on here late at night talking and talking and talking.
By that I mean, I'd be commenting away somewhere leaving long winded crap-o-la. I'm existing on 4-5 hours of sleep a night...not every night...some nights I get as much as 6 hours!
Some of you have read a few of my gripes...minor compared to what I could have told...so you knew my home life was not easy...wasn't happy. Since I do have an older daughter who writes for Epinions, and reads what I write (thanks Melissa, if you're reading this), there's no way I could, or would, tell the real story.
We all have our problems, and try to deal with them as best as we can. What we choose to do may be the right choice...what we choose to do may be the wrong choice but by sitting by and doing nothing, nothing was going to change.
Melissa said something in one of my comment sections (A Husband and Wife) which really hit home. She said, "If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got. New actions are required for new results."
Did I dare take new actions and hope to find some happiness in this life before I die? What if they were the wrong actions? Staying and continuing to do what I always did meant I was always going to get what I always got.
Talk about a depressing thought! No, no, no! Right or wrong, some kind of choice had to be made and while I don't know what my tomorrow is going to be like, once that choice was finally made, a huge boulder lifted from my shoulders.
If it's the wrong choice, I have no one to blame but myself. But, if it's the right choice, maybe I'll be able to sleep again. I'll have my life back and room to breathe!
A kind deed is like water for a rose: it makes the heart bloom. Thanks for planting a garden in my heart!
Love with big hugs,
Dusty

Melissa,
There is no hidden agenda here. I wanted peace, and I was glad to see it being offered.
In retrospect I think you are. But realise that MZ, David and you appearing within the span of 15’ extolling the virtues of yet another transparently vile Pinn comment makes it hard to believe it was all coincidental. The more so when the messiah himself appears shortly after to thank his “true friends”.
I apologise for drawing the wrong conclusion. However, allow me to still doubt your judgment. This world does not turn on good intentions Melissa, it turns on results.
Thank you for your suggestion I apologise to Dusty. Somehow I feel my presence in her back yard has been supportive rather than disruptive.

One more thing: (Reply to this comment)
by dianapinions
I just want to make it clear, that even though my comment just happened to come chronologically after the comment left by Penguinlady, I was not at all addressing this comment to her. My comment was a general one.
Nor was my comment an attempt to chastise anyone for expressing their opinions and thoughts here.
I am simply hoping for a little peace at this great place called Epinions.
Good night,
Diana

ENOUGH! (Reply to this comment)
by dianapinions
My Fellow Epinioners and Friends,
I am asking for this flame war to end right now. All sides. One and all.
Every additional comment just gets everyone all riled up again. Emotions are too high and no one is willing to back down.
Epinions Comment sections must not be reduced to name-calling or finger pointing.
Please see my Message Board thread from today, entitled "For the Sake of Peace at Epinions".
You folks are all so talented and such excellent writers. I'm counting on you all to see the pointlessness of these arguments, in the public comment threads.
Please, friends?

Unbelievable (Reply to this comment)
by Penguinlady
Pinnhead, Dusty was married to her husband for 30 years. You know nothing about him beyond that fact - not his name, not his behavior, not the way he has treated her. And yet you see fit to insist that he's a poor, sweet men whom she misunderstands and demonizes.
Do you have any idea what a crackpot that makes you look like? I don't suppose it has ever entered your head that perhaps, maybe, possibly, she knows more about him than you do.
Naaah - no one knows more about anything than you do.
Beyond that, of course, you look like the compleat narcissist and egotist, assuming that someone who doesn't know or care about you, and has posted several times about the problems she's having in her marriage, would waste even one nano-second writing a poem about YOU. What on earth could make an even partially sane person think that???
I doubt that you'll ever learn that the world doesn't spin around you, or that you aren't more knowledgeable about everything than anyone else is, or that your constant apologies are meaningless when you keep repeating the same apology-worthy behavior again and again and again, with increasing amounts of evident glee each time. Sociopaths don't learn.
But this is a new low, even for you.
OK, bring on your frantic remora, MZ.
Dusty, I hope you can focus on the people who support you, and ignore the idiots and trouble-makers who see your posts as mere fodder for their sick little games.
Margaret

I agree with Millinocket. I can't believe that such a cruel, revolting thing could be uttered. It's without base, and the sheer, unmitigated arrogance that came with that nauseating comment is incomprehensible. This is a new low that is absolutely inconceivable.
Dusty, we’re thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers.
Hugs,
