HDear Mypoet, doubt et al,

Thanks for being honest about your pen name.   Your style is unmistakable whatever your nom de plume,  it’s interesting to have you confirm this.

 Your negativity is generally not supported by facts and examples, So really the ‘they’ve done nothing’ syndrome you pitch becomes just unsupported opinion or a failure to see the wider picture.  Of course we are all entitled to give opinion but does it add to the debate here? No I suspect your style is pitched to disrupt.

Fortunately, the balance of evidence demonstrates PTI as having gained considerable momentum with clearly discernible facts that make a good case that POET have now gained sufficient energy and mass to penetrate the markets they are aimed at.  

But there’s another aspect to your unsubstantiated gloom, to deliberately annoy.  Unfortunately particularly aimed at FJ so as to get him to waste his valuable time.  This is perhaps why you deserve your bans, he is much more than tolerant of your difficult style than you deserve.  

For me your gloom it is just part of the variety of the human condition we have to learn live with which I find quite interesting but sad too.  I accept we need contrarians to help understand ourselves especially as I tend to over optimism which is more easily accepted but just as misleading I suppose. But that said your selection of the name ‘doubt’ does reflect a certain cynicism towards this board and the motivation for disturbing its benefit to participants,  I hope I’m wrong on this.  However, unless you make a rational argument supported by examples, I fear it’s reasonable for board leaders to conclude you are just too disruptive here as a time waster.

So Please, try to support your comments with arguments and then we can be happy to debate your views rather than chose ignore or bans.  I don’t have an ignore list I think one learns about oneself when there’s feedback including critical comment.  As Mam would say ‘O what grace, God would give us to see ourselves as others see us’.

Did you have a different pen name before mypoet.

Regards,
