   >>In mine your not...   
      
   Your allowed to dis my reality and I have to take it, But when I suggest   
   you might be a lousy poet, here you come charging to the rescue of the   
   poets and your reality in particular..   
   Now perhaps next time you decide to dis someone's beliefs you will   
   remember that your beliefs are just as easy to ridicule.   
   I don't care what you think you are, or what you think I am, I am happy   
   in my own skin, I don't get mad when people tell me that magick doesn't   
   exist, because I know for them it really doesn't exist.   
   Just now and again it would be nice if people like you would remember   
   that you don't have the right to decide what or if my beliefs are wrong   
   or right. Your own beliefs are not sacrosanct..   
   Learn to be less judgmental and you wont find me winding up your string.   
      
      
   >Yet, in a world which would define you as a fairly delusional newsgroup,   
   >the poets come across as almost functional.   
      
   Poets are by nature out of the loop, like witches they have baggage..   
   If your male and a poet your by definition effeminate, crazy,   
   delusional, drug addicts, sex maniacs and a few other things.   
   Its never a good idea to target other groups when your in a group that   
   can so easily be targeted by those who don't like people stepping   
   outside what they consider the norm for society.   
   It doesn't matter to me what turns you on, its your life and your   
   choices, As a witch I learned long ago that the so called norm doesn't   
   exist and that all the people who try to shoe horn themselves into so   
   called normality fit like a round peg in a square hole. Not to   
   suprisingly they end up with mental and physical problems, that trying   
   to live in the so called norm of society produces   
    I celebrate difference. I have always lived my life with enthusiasm and   
   I don't hide my differences, not even my disability's such as dyslexia,   
   People accept me warts and all or they don't accept me, I accept them   
   warts and all, I don't expect perfection from myself or my friends and   
   family. . as my differences hurt no one, its suprising how easily people   
   accept someone who is confident and at ease in their own skin.   
      
      
   >   
   >By the way, I can understand why your spell-checker doesn't correct your   
   >"your" or "where" but how come it accepts "beleiver"?   
      
   No idea, its no use asking me why my spell checker doesn't do things or   
   douse do things, I am not in a position to answer.. However I do know   
   their are some difference in spelling between say, America and England.   
   Could it be that.
