I am not telling you how to write, and whether I, in your estimation, know anyhing about poetry or prose is of no consequence. Your writings are too damn florid, and the people you may want to reach, lose their interest because you talk over their heads, and fill your syntax with florid phrases meant to impress.

Dismiss me as narcissistic, that is only your defensive mechanisms at play, a wounded animal fights back with the only tools that he has, tooth and claw.
Dismiss my criticisms, and you will, But you waste your time trying to impress.
I would venture that few get past your second sentence.
And that narcissism of which you depict me is surely a projection.
I have written a number of articles, or rather started them, for wikipedia, and early criticism of me was that I wrote in an archaic style, probably because I have read too much of Shakespeare and Chaucer.
I wan't wounded though. I had to adapt and write for the reading public.
Look, I like you. Your posts, which are full of historical reference, mostly pertinent, sometimes seeming a bit braggadocio, but I am totally tolerant of style. These formats cannot, should not tolerate personal dramas
The times call for serious endeavors and expressions re dire, very real threats. What say you? Willing to stop the personals? Stick to the salient?
Now that is a comment with which I concur, even your assessment of bragadacio. Unavoidable, when making controversial comments, often relying on personal experience, but anticipating challenges.
I never attacked you personally. I agree with the thrust of your comments, I really do. I was, so I thought, just offering some friendly advise as to how to ensure your comments are read by others.
Another poster, actually more thanone, has taken umbrage with me, because I critique their style, which is a strong of consciousness, a long, long paragraph,much in the style of Jack Kerouac'sOn the Road, 320 pages, one paragraph, not evenline breaks, reads like the Torah.
TL:DR
Paragraph's should be short, for eye rest, one, contain one subject,not five,ten or twenty.
I've mentioned Liberty Forum before. There was a woman on it, Askel5, a Catholic, self righteous burdened with guilt because she had an abortion when younger. her postings were homilies, full of adjectives and non sequiturs. The only people who enjoyed them were people like her, who belonged to the same cult
My intentions,Gerald,were honorable, I was just trying to be helpful.
That people don't care, because they don't read your comments
That people don't want to waste their time and get involved in senseless arguments.
To tell the truth, I weighed not saying anything, as I knew your reaction, but it is in me to try to be helpful, even to those that don't appreciate help.

I did not perceive you as my enemy Gerald. Perhaps I should change that now.

In a world of critics re my writing, you are in a minority of one.
What does that tell you?

Tolerate the cadences of all?
