You of all people believe in kharma? That's rather poetic itself.
Watch out for lightning if that's the case.

Thank you.
I forgot to mention the word divorce did not come into this poem until this other person thought the poem was about him. After several comments, I wanted to clearify the reason for my poem so this person wouldn't think I was writing about him
Divoce is a personal matter. It hurts everyone. It saddened me I couldn't work through my own divorce without feeling forced to bring the issue up.
Believe me, it was no my choice.
Best Regards,
Dusty

We are ALL allowed to make mistakes,we just have to remember,WE made them or allowed them to happen,making us a good part of the problem of our misery.
I'm so glad people empower themselves to change them.Some don't.Some eventually

Yes,twice again i have continued to agree.After all,I've written personal stuff here myself. I just don't think "divorces" are for Epinions "PERSONALLY".
I understand FULLY she is allowed to vent her one side.

Hey Ginzo,
You said, I PERSONALLY don't think epinions is the place for divorce rants.
I wanted to address this.
1) I wrote a poem venting some of my misery and home life.
2) No names were written and if you read the poem, nowhere did I rant on my divorce or mention it, or about divorce at all. My husband wasn't mentioned by name, even though he was the center of it.
3) Stories and poems are another part of Epinions where people can write about whatever they want. They garner no revenue.
4) I never expected anyone to really read it.
5) I'm not a good writer.
6) I was jumped over this poem by someone here at Epinions who had the nerve to think I was writing about him. Beats the heck out of me why he thought he was important enough for me to consider in my "real" life.
7) Trolls were something I'd never had the "great honor" of coming in contact with. Some people don't understand that when life is hard for us at home, it does help to write something that helps us cope. That's all I was doing.
Anyway, I posted something of an update on how my life is so much better now.
I doubt I'll be posting any more poems or short stories. I wouldn't want to depress people, invite trolls, make people feel good, make people laugh, or "feel" in any way.
No wait! I take that back. :) I bloody well will continue to write, and anyone out there who wishes to comment, please feel free.
My best to you, ginzo, and happy voting!
Dusty

I can happily give an update (Reply to this comment)
by ddustyrose
on my divorce and possible answer some questions.
No one truly knows what goes on in a marriage. There are two sides to every story and I can only speak for mine.
My oldest daughter (melissasrn) could verify how things were in my marriage...how her Dad was. She was one of my children who suffered but having her post something here is not what I want.
My ex-husband had some home truth's pointed out to him and said he knew his actions and words were wrong. This shocked us all as he's always sworn he knows it all, would make a great king of an island, wanted full control of our feelings, lives, who we voted for, how we were supposed to do things, how we needed to change to suit him, etc....the list is a long one.
For an educated man, he went overboard. He couldn't seem to stop himself from destroying what he "said" he loved. His words, not mine.
He did step up to the plate, apologized to me more than once and called all three of his children and apologized to them.
The relationship I have with him today is much better. We do talk on the phone from time to time. However, the relationship he has with his children isn't all that great. They love him but find it easier to stay away. He did apologize but the damage was great...you can't forget your childhood or your adult hood...how you were treated.
There are times when I feel guilty for not getting out sooner than I did...at the emotional damage my children suffered. I don't know how I managed it but I wound up with 3 great kids.
No one but my kids know about the depression I suffered right after Christmas. Those details are not for public display.
My divoce was final on April 29th. We went to my lawyer's office and signed the papers and then he asked me if I wanted to go out and eat lunch? I said, "Sure!" We actully had a good lunch and talked quite a bit.
No, I won't be going back to him. I won't go through that again. Besides, my alimony is great! :)
My life is good now. I live close to my oldest daughter. She's been a God send to me and just being around the grandkids has put the old spark back in life.
Bottom Line (LOL): There's fun, laughs, and good times in my life and I intend to enjoy every minute.
I don't think my ex is as happy. He lives with regret in a big house, alone, and rather lonely.
Do I feel bad about that? Sometimes, but after 30 some odd years of abuse, I'm human enough to feel glad he's lost it all. If you love something, you value it, you treasure it, you don't abuse it.
So, while this is mostly my "side" of things, trust me, my husband would be the first to say he threw away the best thing(s) in his life.

Maybe so, but I don't know 'the man' and Dusty is my friend. So, I tend to be happy for her.

1. I can't stand obama or the democratic congress that has ruined this country for the last 4 years
2. Again,Yes,"congratulations on your divorce! "
Don't know much else about it but what people CHOOSE to write. The man of the divorce just may be in his glory as well

Hey Ginz-
Chill out Bud- go drink a beer eh ;) Dusty has been through hell and back and there is nothing wrong with a little 'celebration.' I know when I got divorced, I was happy-go-lucky. I was even happier when I got my 'settlement.' Heh.
Good to see you out and about though. Wondering what your thoughts are on Obama/McCain. Shoot me an email sometime.

Yes,"congratulations on your divorce! "
But NO ONE here can say they know what the truth is.
Only the husband and wife know what the facts are.
I PERSONALLY don't think epinions is the place for divorce rants.

Re: This is being discussed on another site (Reply to this comment)

Thanks, Bonnie.
Pinn leads such a boring life he can't move beyond something that had nothing whatsoever to do with him. He's a sad and pathetic human being who is full of nothing but self pity.
Truthfully, I'm amazed he's still in a tirade over this and is still whining.
My divorce is final and I've moved on. Pinn needs to get out of my life and find one for himself but then again, that's not his style.
Your link gave me a good laugh today! :)

Things have happened on this site recently as a result of members not being able to get along. Let's not get pulled into that again.
This comment thread looks just as childish as it did just a week ago. Can we move on?

No need for groupie emails,just say it.
Not sure what you mean by "groupie e-mails" - I am offering the procedure to anyone who asks me for it, which includes MZ. Hardly a groupie thing. And it's just a teench more complicated than just putting people on your block list, I think.

Once again ...it's no big secret
If you put the suspected revenge rater on your block list,the hidden rating should disappear.
That's how you find out who hidden revenge rates.

Dusty, your comments earlier, "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," were lovely thoughts. I hope you're doing well at this difficult time.
Don :)

Hi Alex,
These were quite informative.
And to think my definition of a troll was a cruel monster who ate human flesh, had little or no intelligence, were stumpy, misshapen, humpbacked, inclined to thieving, had big noses, long arms and were hairy!
Aren't female troll's called an ogress, or are they trollettes?

Re: Interesting. (Reply to this comment)

MZ says: Why in the world would he even bother to revenge rate you, Dusty? He already told you what he thought of your poem.
MZ, I did not say he revenge rated me. Please re-read my comment. I was asking how to find out the identity of a person who could keep their ratings hidden (as there seemed to be a way)? I did have one (now two) of these hidden ratings.
What kind of person would rate and hide their identity?
No need to answer as I already know.
As for what Pinn said about my poem...his original comment was he thought it was about him. I informed him he was wrong. He decided what my poem was about and to him, that was the end of it.
I could have talked until I was blue in the face but it would not have mattered.
Pinn continued flying by the seat of his britches with unfounded, unproven, and quite odious comments to the point his nose was found lying in a dung heap.
I don't care in the least what Pinn thinks about my poem.
I've been enlightened (thanks guys) as to the true meaning of a troll.
Didn't I read somewhere that trolls were otiose? Don't bother looking it up as it means lazy and unproductive.

MZ: The man that you all loathe so much chooses to delete his account from this site
No he don't. He lied to you. The decision was forced on him.
MZ: In case anyone is wondering, the man that so many of these people loathe is named William Pinn
No he's not. He lied to you. His name is Gary Jackson. William Pinn is an alias, as is probably Mark Campbell. Typical behaviour of shady characters.
MZ: BTW: He had a choice as to whether to leave or stay. He CHOSE to leave. I wonder why? LMAO
You can laugh all you want, even ROTFLYAS, as your idol ceaselessly did (this way you'll at least have your floors clean, seeing as there's not much else to have clean). But he had no choice. He wanted so much to stay he threatened epinions and members alike with litigation if he wasn't brought back in. They wouldn't listen dear. THEY chose for him to leave.

Stop shrieking, Milena.
If you want to know how to identify hidden raters, e-mail me and I'll be glad to send you the instructions, as I have done with other members. Or you can go digging through Mobi-Prof's encyclopedic offerings yourself and find it, as I did.
