Topic posted in response to Rock Around the Clock : http://www.abctales.com/story/miscelanea/rock-around-clock THERE ARE SOME GOOD PARTS.I DIDNT LIKE THE DEPRESSION ANS SADNESS THAT OVERLAID THE WHOLE POEM.ALSO,THERE IS THE GLORIFICATION OF ALCOHOL AS A SOLUTION FOR PEOPLES'SPROBLEMS.(WHICH WOULD JUST COMPOUND THE NEGATIVE ISSUES)
THERE IS A SADNESS IN THE POEM ABOUT LIVING LIFE THROUGH CHILDREN ; AS SUCH, THE TITLE COULD HAVE BEEN--- FUTURE FEAR
I DID NOT LIKE THE SAYING THINGS TWICE.
I DID NOT LIKE THE SAYING THINGS TWICE.
I DID LIKE THE 1ST 2 LINES OF THE NEXT TO LAST STANZA "MY LIFE WILL SOON INVERT TO MUTE ---DREAMS PURSUIT" THAT WAS REALLY VERY GOOD. THIS POEM COULD PROVE THE STATEMENT - ACHIEVE ADDITION BY SUBTRACTION.

Ok, three things. 1st) Please turn your caps lock off. It's awkward to read. 2) Why wasn't this a comment on the actual poem? You don't seem to be starting a discussion, just stating your view. 3) I have just read your 'critique' topic on the notice board. I agree it is generally pointless to give inane comments, but you cone across as condescending and sarcastic in this comment. That devalues the whole post and that's a shame, as you have some valid views. Try and temper that a bit and your views will be much more respected. Thanks, Shep

EXCUSE ME SHEP, ARE YOU BEING PREJUDICIAL CONCERNING MY BLACK AMERICAN DNA. YOU NEED TO RE-READ MY CRITIQUE COMMENTS. I STATED THAT REVIEW EMOTION IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. YOU JUST PROVED MY CASE FOR ME! YOU STATED-" YOU COME ACROSS AS BEING CONDESCENDING AND SARCASTIC " O.K. , THATS YOUR EMOTIONAL PERCEPTION. SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT SAY "WHAT A REFRESHINGLY UNIQUE DRY SENSE OF HUMOR ". YOU HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT POINT. A PERSON FROM THE MID WEST MIGHT SEE A COMMENT AS SARCASTIC BUT, ONE FROM N.Y. MIGHT SEE AS A NEUTRAL STATEMENT. 4,5,6,) I REST MY CASE ; UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO GO OVER MY 3 COMMENTS PER DAY QUOTUM. OH, I WONDER IF THAT IS EASTERN STANDARD TIME OR GREENWICH ?

Am I being prejudicial concerning your black American DNA? Really? Is that how you want to be? How in the world did anything I said have any sort or racial element to it? My perception of you being condescending and sarcastic relates to the repitition of your lines twice in your review. That is a valid opinion, but when you (twice) repeat your own lines you come across as a bit of an arse. (Ass, I don't want to be racist.) I don't have to acknowledge any point, especially one I disagree with, so don't force opinion on me. Why on earth would you join a site as welcoming as this then act this way? Surely you see the irony of you campaigning for honesty in critiquing then accuse me of racism when I DARE to disagree with the way you have commented. By the way, do you have any idea of my ethnicity?

well said shep, but I think its a lost cause. this made me laugh but only because its so ridiculous. and its the first time I've even seen someone act like that on ABCTales. not what I'm used to at all.

Bravo shep. This poster is completely and bang out of order. No starker example of breathtaking arrogance and self serving insouciance. I posted a response to the initial topic that seems to have been removed alongside others. The original forum topic is laughable and from now on I recommend depriving worldwithinaworld the oxygen of response.
