Culling?

Once again there are signs of unrest,
and some are still doing their best,
to fracture a skull,
with the meaning of "cull"
and most of the rest are depressed.

Some things are quite hard to define,
no reason for folk to repine,
one should try to reach peace,
whether catch and release,
or snapping the poor fishes spine.

Newsgroups can be fairly tight places,
when they talk about wide open spaces,
some manage with ease,
and some try to please,
and still others **** in their faces.

One sees most remarkable antics,
from erudite men and pedantics,
Tuna it seems,
is the fish of their dreams,
or maybe for some it´s Atlantics?

Some positions are hotly defended,
olive twigs are but rarely extended,
the battles rage on,
it seems there´s noone,
who has heard "least said, soonest mended!".

It would be easiest just to cull file the offenders.

Nicely stated, well phrased observation. While the limerk may not be
accepted as the finest form in poetry, it can be quite expressive.

It's quite clear, personalities clash
Without e'en lubrication by mash.
With much conflict between
People never yet seen,
Written phrases become far too rash.

Would a drop of the craythur help out?
Would it it temper the anger some spout?
Or does this gathering need
A more mellowing weed,
To change us to giggles from shouts?

What makes you think the conflicts are only between people who have
never met?

I don't think that to be the case, Charlie. Both cases are true. I merely
used one case.

Maybe you should cull your inbox with some message filters. I'll
volunteer to be first in line.

All too well, Wayno. Yet I persevere where the thinner skinned pack up and
leave. For I was well prepared for this group by surviving my first
marriage and subsequent divorce. Despite the exclusive nature of this
august body, there remain some of you whom I would eventually like to meet
and fish with and others I'd not.

Well, some things never change:

"The [Roffians]cannot love their [newsgroup] without hating a good
part, if not the majority, of their compatriots. Without having
injured, disqualified, incarcerated, deported, or massacred enough to
satisfy the exigencies of their zeal, they accuse themselves of
moderation and tepidity. A good [Roffian] looks on himself as such
only if he has caused death during harsh periods, caused sufficient
shame and ruin...amid a number of his compatriots to calm his dread
that he has not given all of his love to his [newsgroup]. Unless
avarice or personal or family egoism has not already made him
indifferent to the public cause, his lack of fervor leads to
self-loathing if he has not delivered other [Roffians] to the
inquisition, to the police, to the executioners, to the
grave-diggers."*¹

Perhaps, but no one has actually died of it yet, and the fish still
rise......well, on a good day, anyway.
