we love to share, to be provocative in our thoughts and witty selves.... While some write to heal, to share or to send a message, others write to express, to relieve emotion and to "sort it all out" whatever the reason, keep doing the damn thing, but when posting within a forum it's only common courtesy to support one another because lord knows we have all been there at one point or time in our collective journeys.....I never read Shakespeare in hopes that he would read my work, but to learn and if he were alive I'd definitely give him a comment or two just to acknowledge that "I felt him".......Comments to me personally mean nothing, because I get my share elsewhere, but I have made a commitment to myself not to comment on anyone who posts within this forum that doesn't support the other writers within......Have a nice day.

common courtesy ...

while acknowledgement is grand....
sometimes just releasing the writing can be enough.

and Finn...I'm gonna post double on yours...;)

Writing is communicating emotions or ideas. If you're not communicating you're not writing. If the emotions and ideas you are communicating are not enjoyed by the people who read them you need to change what and how you write or change the people you write to.
