My opinion here...on a stream message

I know you have your strong choice of words here and at the end of this note you say these people are idiots.  I am just letting you know how I feel from a professional point of view here.  No one in this world is an idiot.  That is your perception of people and yours alone.  You have your rights to your opinions.  You do not however have a right to call anyone an idiot or continue to make yourself shine on the top of the tree when you shove people off the branches. I would like to post my feelings on this.  There are some very nice mentors and publicist on here. You are just one in many in the world sir.  I find you a little too critical to people who come on here and ask you for your advice.  Maybe there are many idiots in this whole entire universe, whatever, but to put your words into motion on a poetry site as such, I think it is very unprofessional.  I do not intend to take to heart such cold-spirited advice whether it is constructive, or destructive, for I am here only to better myself and to see what I need to improve on.  I also believe if a comment to my writings is to better it, or just to bash it to the floor that may be my learning tool also.   By being objective in the words you choose to critique others or judge others in my opinion maybe you need to look at yourself first before you call any people idiots.  You however have never met these people on here so who gives you this permission to call people idiots?  If we have to go around bashing people because they are just not good enough, or we feel we are above them then what kind of teacher are we really being?

  As I respect your rights, please respect others as myself.  No one in here is above water in any sense of the word.  Everyone comes here with a desire to learn and grow..... ...no one on this site deserves to be called anything other then what their true name or pen name is.  You may call me an idiot too, however you do not know me therefore I have not given you  permission to call me so.  If however after you have read this and may just be sitting around calling me that, that is okay since I do not know you and you do not know me.  Maybe I am speaking for many other people's small or large voices here that may be intimidated by your aggressions.  Especially our young poets who are doing such a wonderful job at trying to become a known author.  Try to put yourself in their shoes.

I, however am a grown woman and do not feel distressed  by your comments of not being my critic because as I read your message I also get a disturbing image of what you are presenting here.  I am merely stating how I feel here. I may be 100 percent wrong and for this I shall apologize. if this is so..Other then that please do not feel you have to read any of my poetry or make any great or not so great comments of it or my person..you seem too busy to be bothered with it, therefore I am excluding my request for you to mentor or help me in any way on this site.  Good luck to you and thank  you for reading this.

Sincerely
