What is wrong with you, I was trying to help him. Just because you have some -personal interest in him, it doesn't make his poetry better. Which has many flaws, no doubt. I gave him constructive criticism...and even an example of what I was talking about. If he doesn't want any criticism he should just keep his poetry to himself.
It encourages people to commence further negativity. Rather than take constructive criticism, no matter how harsh, and either apply it or ignore it, he has chosen to attack back. Which causes a counterattack, do you see a pattern? I hope so.
I'll be honest and say I do like your poems, and I can understand where you are coming from. I like your style of writing. However, do try to put in some punctuation, capitals where necessary and keep the poems coming.
I don't see why you having a different religion from others would be such a big deal; I personally don't care what religion anyone is and hell, I don't even know what goes on in the Religion forum lol. Just focus on those poems, try to learn new things from constructive criticism because not all criticism is bad. Criticism can help you improve. Don't let it get to you too much, but think about your poems.
You can write good poems; all you need to do is to make some corrections on the punctuation, and such. By making those corrections, your poems would be easier to read and much neater as well. Hopefully you'll take this positively.
And to DangerousBeauty, there is really no need to yell at people like that. You want to defend your lover over there, yes, but there is no need for everyone to get all worked up over something like this. There is also no need to criticise XvampbenjiiX666 because of his religion, not his poetry. If you wish to argue / debate about religion, head for the Religion forum. It's pretty pointless innit? Fighting in a poetry thread..
Looking forward to your newer poems, XvampbenjiiX666.

Just for the record, no one criticized him for his Religion. People criticized his ignorant dismissal of a common branch of atheistic satanism as well as his repeated claim to condone as well as being an accomplice in pre-meditated murder, torture and rape.

Jadeily, the issue here is that the discussion over Benji's religion has not stayed in the religion forum. Others have made it an issue all over the forums. I was one of the first to notice it and it was mentioned to a mod on a couple of occassions. Why shouldnt Benji defend himself when it is quite obvious that there are other posters that are just ridiculing him over the slightest thing.
I'm not happy about it as it ruins the experience for other posters on the forums and it makes Benji very unhappy. If it continues I WILL report it to RAZ.
As I have mentioned before here in Benjis thread (although really not the place for it), if people have read it, dont like and said their piece, why cant they just leave it there? why is it some members feel the insescent need to verbaly pulverise him?
I like benjis work, ok it could do with some improvement here or there but again its down to him if he wants to change his work.
He is still quite young and great poetry is not created over night.
Like I said before I like Benji's work and it shows promise.
Other people are just intent on bashing him for what ever reason. Just narrow minded fools.
Sorry Benji, I wont post again until you post another piece of work. hope every thing is ok. Feel free to PM me anytime
Well, leave the religion shit alone, and focus on the main point of this thread then, which is poetry. If people are bashing him based on his religion and also using his poetry as a cover-up as to why they are bashing him (note that I said IF), you should report it then.
However, some do tend to give harsh criticism (like myself, sometimes) and we usually mean well. Some may come off as rude, and also 'bashing', but it's not, really.

...one thing...thank you to the ones for the positive criticism....another thing is that i don't repeat myself saying what i did, what i seen, or what i am. its always brought up wherever i go.

You are constantly off-topic, I actually give feedback and only correct when you and Lara make up shit...so maybe you should stick it somewhere and stop pretending you are an almighty cop. In fact, you are the only one that continue to whine about it long after anyone even said something about his poetry or satanism. So, please just shut up so I don't need to correct your idiocy...
why dont you shut up and stick somewhere. she's only looking out for me. and you don't give feedback, you start shit like everyone else besides Lara...if you don't like it, go read someone else's poetry

Besides, you are the one calling people "bastard child", "****ing assholes", "piece of shit" and saying "burn in hell...both of you assholes" and "go burn in hell"-
And for all those pretending he got attacked for his Religion, maybe you should actually read what was going on, he insulted and dismissed LaVeyian Satanism and I argued for the Religion. Yes, HE ATTACKED A RELIGION. Maybe you should point that out instead of what you guys make up.
Bardock's not starting shit. He's giving out and offering advice/criticism, whatever you wish to call it.
All I can gather from Bardock's post is just good advice/criticism, honesty and his straightforwardness. I don't see why you should report him. (Just stating my opinion).
The topic of satanism seems to be the spotlight of this thread.. Why don't you guys just leave that to the religion forum, debate/argue well there and in good spirits? Whatever it is, try keeping that topic out of this thread (preferably forum) aye?
EDIT:
Perhaps even forget the past few pages even happened and start fresh by posting some new poems. If someone makes a negative comment or insults you because you're Satanic, then you could report them, or ignore them. After all, this is just the Internet, mate. There's a difference between harsh criticism and insults.
Whoopee.

I did slightly take offense to this. I used to follow Laveyian Satanism closely and it makes sense to me, although it is no longer my religion, I still highly respect it, and no one is in any position to say anything bad about it.
It's not a big deal, but one should mind when they say things like this:
Overall Benjii, I wish you luck with your writings, cheers.
I'm sorry Benjii, but it is not the truth, not at all. It is marely your honest to goodness opinion. You can not say whether thee teaching of a religion are a mockery or any sort. It is wrong Bejii. I fully understand however that it is your stance, but please make note of it.
"It is my stance and opinion, not that it really is a mockery and wrong"
Something like that. It is less offensive and sets your point in motion.

So, DangerousBeauty...Lara...care to jump in and accuse him of insulting and ridiculing people's religion? Come one, don't be hypocrites...give it to him good.
