I have chosen to leave my response and have not been asked to remove it as I feel it paves the way for others to think before they bite. I would appreciate all comments here now, relate to my work, any personal views about Drew can be sent to my message box. Thank you.

This was a wonderful piece once again. I had a situation like this as well but, we both figured it was ridiculous and stopped writing comments to each other. Aww Glynis, it’s like a legacy is ending.

You are, I have noticed, a highly educated person who loves a debate. You are a fighter for the written word and want to see it perfected. You do, however, try to teach in an aggressive manner in public, I write to the person in private, it does not matter that the world sees a polite message from me, they do not matter, what matters is the person I am supporting.I have friends here, who cannot write in perfect English, but they, like us, write from the heart. Yes Drew, I have read your work,(before you removed it),I did not however, have the courage to leave a comment, you bite back at those who do and want to start a debate, maybe this is your forte. I think it is sad that you have not used your teaching skills here, you would be a valuable asset, but only if you were a little kinder when you shoot us down ;) Triond,in your opinion, have extraordinary rules, they are rules that protect the writer though Drew, and you have to accept them if you want to be part of the community. I know you have lit a spark amongst some of us, and once I got over your attacks, I realised we have something in common, we both love writing, I do it with inperfections and you do it well, the only difference lies with our characters, you are ...mmm Goliath? ;) Oh before you go, please leave a comment on 'My Grandfather Gave Me a Gift' thanks and good luck for 2009.

Such a shame to have to hide in the dark. I think this is wonderful and heartfelt and Gylnis, I am having the same problem with a troll that just won\’t reveal their name.

They read my works and I am not one to hurt others if I can help it, certainly not my family and made a decision to remove our 'banter'.<br /> <br /> Yes, I noted you turned me into a bad person, I am not completely blind to some of your 'clever' ways. So you live in 'bad person land', yup, suits you ;)<br /> <br /> I was away during the sad riots in Greece, and I have not heard much about them here in Cyprus,I will be having coffee with village friends soon and they will no doubt be discussing it and I will hear many versions of the truth,therefore,I am unable to enlighten you through a first person perspective,sorry.<br /> By the way, when are you going to start writing on Triond again? You never know, I might become a fan :0<br /> I will confess my ignorance here...symo? Was this reference to my carrying a cross or a mistake on my surname Smy?
