READERS: NOTE
VERY IMPORTANT:
IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN SOCIAL NETWORK, TWEET / LIKE (etc.) BUTTONS, please do not simply “page-down” through the various articles, then stop and read one, and click a button there. Though I appreciate the participation, I ask you...
Instead, please click the title; the header; the name of the artcle; the text which is bold, at the top of each entry, then proceed with reading the body, specific to the title so the social network buttons point to what you want (otherwise, only the root web site itself is in focus).
Only from within each individual article will the many mind-blowing, interactive features become visible, and operate as desired.
Directive: I want you to click the "Like" and "Tweet" buttons, PER TITLE, not per web site, as many do in error (although, done in good will).
Additional: The viewing experience is enhanced, as clicking an article title provides a list of "Related Items".
WHY SO Important?
The Social Network (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Reddit, Delicious, etc.): the Name of the Game.
I STILL DON'T CARE
Right you are to care so little about it, but I beg you follow this one little plea:
Click the title, first, then when on the singular, article-page, read and click social network buttons from the Article view. This ensures any Tweet / Like actions will point to the appropriate article per your wish. Many thanks for your cooperation!
The Cinnamon Madgyk Furries Meet the Pennsnow-Sylvanish Meshbrooms
Once, down in the scum,
The Cinnamon Madgyk Fairies did
Come, bearing Gifts,
the likes, such delightful rarity.
Five magicians timely arrival,
Just a follow-up, meeting he that day,
His PennSnow “Syl” Vanishing,
never nearer the clouds,
would lose his footing,
not unforeseen, so afar too
arrives in time, one learns,
eventually. Yet, lofty days
did remain; days Divine let Grace.
The Cinnamon Madgyk Fairies
Begged the magic ones, of he,
the Vanishing, let be no rue:
“Behold…
These Meshbrooms we bring for you!”
Vanished: “all together now,”
he reflects upon this;
The sum of events, as ensued thereafter
as each ultimately did lead
without concerted effort
but for a ubiquitous breaking-apart:
those were early in the final days.
Dodging Shrapnel
Only now existing
Should be persisting
Let inside out
Could be value about
A Mood. Altitude-like Attitude. Feeling-
Around as if to find
A button; something
Needs turning on.
Say, “get busy living”
So busy cleaning
Mistaken waits in idle wishing
Stellar paths fork
As ominous singularity
Collision of opposing forces
Dodging shrapnel
Too poignant for reckoning:
Be gone.
Locate tanglible vessel.
Callibrate the lens.
Tune it up.
turn it on.
Like clay for pottery
Lot more for the spinning wheel
Yarn still wound ’round the spool
before its length unwinds;
before the summary line ends.

These Streets, are a Maze;
This Place: it's a Puzzle.
I need some Direction.
If not, i be Bound
for a Muzzle!
Dear, old Street: i'm amazed;
Displaced, i am Puzzled.
I find these things Binding
So much, I do fuss then-
and-now, for a Guzzle.
Through the Smoking-Glass
The time has come
“The Rockstar” said
To speak of oblong things
Of blues and reds
and other meds
let bring on all-that-sings
Sweet melody:
blissful silence
will it ring? so sweetly as to be
out with reason
out with rhyme:
prithee thee, lay me under
foot by feet,
and for all time.
Weakness: this is nothing more
and nothing new
pathetic he, indeed.
So easily
it is, this to abhor.
This:
is true.
These years go by
burning on through
Pain: but wants
for quickness too.
Put this thing out,
prithee you: Extinguish ever more
so, these senseless lines
Sew it up in time
a needle, or a knit?
But
nothing.
Nothing becomes of it.
I hope I die, before I wake
One less thing
might you forsake
What fires they tell
If there is Hell, perhaps
oh well: I might canoe
upon its fiery lake!
RE: Public Internet Web Service, Twitter
“For every 5 seconds I do not have flapjacks, I shall break one window” -- Peter Griffin, Seth MacFarlane's “Family Guy”
Having now experienced multiple, unfounded suspensions of my Twitter.com account; the defemation of my character, or Personae, as exists publically at the popular, public social web service known as Twitter, or Twitter.com (Twitter Inc., San Francisco, CA),
I must be proactive to incite change.
No Suspension Without Due Process
As a citizen of the United States, I am fortunate to be under the protection of its Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, notwithstanding much other legislation concerning the matters of public, or civil rights.
While Twitter is a privately owned, public dependent web service, having its own set of rules which the User is obliged to agree to abide by throughout his own use of that service, it may not be subject to abide by Due Process, however it remains subject to public scrutiny. Throughout the History of the United States of America, the People have designed the civilization, and it is the People who maintain it, presently. Only the People will create changes to come.
What is Due Process?
First, forget the Phrase: “Google-it”!
Instead, remember, always to “Duck-Duck-Go-For-It”!{*99}
Please research the US Civil Liberty of Due Process. I recommend using the search engine, DuckDuckGo.com , as it does not record your activity, unlike its more popular counterpart, Google®. Or, simply click here: DUE PROCESS at DuckDuckGo.com
Essentially, the concept of Due Process is that which prevents US Citizens from imprisonment without first having his or her Fair Trial in front of a Jury of Peers. In other words, a US Constable on Patrol / Police Officer (whatever your definition of the local Police/ Police Officer) for example-- even if he or she, the C.O.P., having first-hand account of an alleged crime-- witnessing the theft of regular goods in a public market by John D Fooly, may not place imprison John D Fooly, that is John D Fooly must not be placed behind bars, against his will-- for he is protected by Due Process-- until he has gone to trial in a an applicable court of law, AND also found guilty of that crime. If found guitly of crime, then it is the burden of the Judge, or Magistrate, to provide an appropriate Sentencing, according to the degree and nature of that crime. Sentencing may, or MAY NOT include imprisonment, that is John D Fooly might instead, be required to pay fines (the sum of which, essentially, go back to the community in some manner, depending greatly from locale to locale: where did the alleged crime occur; in which US State or Commonwealth, to County, Township, etc., occurred the alleged crime), and/ or fulfill some term of Community Service (i.e. Community Service is often translated to such much needed, hard-labor; tedious tasks as the removal of litter from the community highways; parks; neighborhoods, or some such “oh, i get it-- yeah, i've seen those guys wearing the orange, Community Service jumpsuits).
Twitter™ Ignores Due Process
While difficult to assess abstract concepts of Crime, and Punishment within the likewise abstract concept of (Eg. public communication via Twitter) Mass-Communication on a Public-Channel through a Web Service Provider [likely, yet to be defined in US Court, Twitter in this case], it is not difficult to break down the concept of what is right, and what is wrong, in terms of the treatment of its Users.
Anecdotal Example
Fiction, based upon characters which might represent a true story. (Humor: a nod to the based upon characters of a true-story, we see so often, designed to trick us to believe stories like “Paranormal Activity” are true events; some real record of real events, as the cinematography is produced to imply.)
“I was Born in a Small-town” -- John “Cougar” Mellencamp
Let us suppose a small-town, volunteer fire department uses Twitter to announce an Emergency response required of its volunteers. As whimsically as such a dependency might be developed, assume the account is likewise as whimsically Suspended, as one might argue is the case with any User-account currently (at time of authoring this article), without any evidence, or Due Process. The account (Ie. the Volunteer Fire Chief’s Twitter account) is rendered useless; the owner has been removed of the privilege of dissemination of Emergency information through the virtually immediate communication, afforded via Twitter, to his or her followers (Eg. volunteer fire-fighters): such a disastrous potential, you might find, hits a bit closer to home!
It is beyond the scope of this article to examine why Twitter.com is not required to treat its Users in the same manner as the C.O.P. in the example, above, however the User is essentially subject to whatever his or her account Provider (ie. Twitter.com) deems appropriate treatment, whether according to the User actions, or otherwise.
Civil Responsibility and Citizenship
I believe, since Twitter developed into a service, essentially relied upon by some members of the Public, for general or even emergency communications, it is the Responsibility of Twitter to halt its unethical treatment of Users, and likewise, User-account privilege; to impose something resembling “Due Process”, before such rather random suspension of User-accounts; User-account privilege.
It is Your Civil Duty to Tweet, or Re-Tweet; whatever you wish to do, on whatever Channel you wish to use (Eg. Twitter, Facebook, E-Mail, etc.); at least, to copy/ paste; provide the link to this article, along with your own (optional) comments, in an effort to force Twitter to change its methodology. We all know how quickly the E-mail chain-letters are able to be spread. This time, let us experiment with these Channels in an effort designed for the Public Good!
Legislative Representatives
Your response is encouraged. (Eg. Have an idea for the improvement of this article? Please provide to [usename, stated below, sans preceding “@”-symbol] at GMX.com , an e-mail service, SUBJ: “RE, Twitter Ethics” [Eg. To: aj....st@gmx.com ])
Godspeed, friends.
