As individuals, families or social groupings we all have our likes and dislikes and want to be in control of who we associate or are associated with.

As an independent individual, I have a strong aversion to profanity, vulgarity, and violence of any kind (including politically induced wars).

I am not alone in my desire to be surrounded by an environment of propriety, politeness and peace.

The following quotes by various personalities highlight their views on vulgarity.

Death and vulgarity are the only two facts in the nineteenth century that one cannot explain away. Oscar Wilde

Will minus intellect constitutes vulgarity Arthur Schopenhauer

Vulgarity is, in reality, nothing but a modern, chic, pert descendant of the goddess Dullness. Edith Sitwell

I guess I'm concerned that vulgarity has now officially entered the mainstream of our culture, and I think people have to respectfully stand up and say, 'No thanks.' Eric Metaxas

This point seems counter-intuitive, given the amount of conspicuous vulgarity, vice, and immorality in America. Indeed some Islamic fundamentalists argue that their regimes are morally superior to the United States because they seek to foster virtue among the citizens. Dinesh D'Souza

America does not want vulgarity and sexual exploitation to be our values and we do not want the world to think those are our standards. We want to be a better nation and a better people, with better standards. Charles W. Pickering

War's a profanity because, let's face it, you've got two opposing sides trying to settle their differences by killing as many of each other as they can. Norman Schwarzkopf

The higher a man stands, the more the word vulgar becomes unintelligible to him.
John Ruskin

From a macro view to a relatively micro view, the world of Neopoetry, I would like to respectfully suggest that with the wide variety of viewpoints and expressive styles, it might be better to have two branches of Neopoetry:

Neopoetry R(isqué) for participants who believe a poem is a four letter word

Neopoetry G(eneral) for participants who believe a poem is for a better world.

For the participants in Neopoetry R, wish all of you ____ ____ (good luck)

For the participants in Neopoetry G (my category), I wish you the following:

May thoughts flow as smooth as running water
May your content be as spotless as snow
May your output be profuse hereafter
May your poetic abilities grow
