So I’m coming back past Rito feeding the horses at High Country, dodging potholes and eager to see the latest responses to my posting of a really nice poem by a very good woman poet on the group I founded on She Writes of fellow poets. I had posted the poem with a link to the publication in which it appeared.
There on the thread was a nasty comment by the CEO and editor of the publication contending a copyright violation although I had credited to it. I was in line with internet fair use laws, and she’s on She Writes in the “other” poetry group. I wrote to her and told her that if she joined my/our group solely to issue a public reprimand to me– when she could have “friended” me and sent me a polite note on the site, she needed to un-join.
She Writes is a supportive and welcoming site and she should have been honored that I gave her fancy ‘zine free publicity– ditto the poet in question.
Loquaciously Yours 
What a shame!
Just for grins I did a search of the poem. It appears on at least 1,000 sites.
The world is full of Educated Idiots. Guess she showed you! (The dolt. That’s what you should write back to her I think: “You are a dolt, lady. Quit bothering people.”)
Goodness, what an atrocious woman. It’s astounding how many people don’t think (or check) before they speak. Hopefully you sure showed her. At the least, I do hope she doesn’t cause you (or attempt to cause you) any more trouble.
Thanks, Chris! Yup— I gave her her propers…xxxj
Thank you L and M and that’s amazing, Maureen. I’m sure you’ve checked out the publication in question. In the midst of the reprimand she said she’d feature the poems from the challenge– I’ve had an emergency, but will post on the site in a bit. I’ll write you later today! new post coming soon. xxxj
