It's more than tough jack, and you can use some work thinning your stack too. It's not all lashing out and outburst madman, you choose your words carefully and they suggest that my observations are merely outbursting and lashing out here. You are sophisticated enough to know how such things get tangled during the work. You are intelligent enough to know this doesn't make all such observations false. Why don't you tell a tale of your own twists? Can you post about sorting these twists out?
I still see turin as doing a poor job moderating. Apparently it was she who dumped a whole string of GS's posts that he posted to other folders into sorceress(plus some others) and now she has begun to delete without even posting that she does so and why she does so. I don't think she has done enough work on thinning her ego to be moderating. Is she to be above questioning now? Asiris' haiku that was on the zen thread is an example of that axe. Yes, it was critical of her policy of deletion(and a good poem), rightfully so, and now it's not being heard because she cut it. I challenge her to moderate with her heart, wits, and guts more often than not and to trim her own ego hedge.
As for the language: humor, poetry, and metaphor are legitimate carriers of information, just as prose is. They move through different channels opening up different perceptual faculties than the usual prose, a good thing for a place dedicated to opening such doors. There placement in a thread of mostly prose can be a window for spirit to peek in. This forum has a healthy history of such writers and they didn't used to be required to post on the entertainment thread only.
