Hey Jane, great to see you here! Your Poets on Fire is an excellent forum for poets.

Bill, the Iced Vo-Vos reference was to a classic from the very popular Australian sport of Teacher-Bashing, the basic premise of which is that teachers, especially English teachers -- of whom in New South Wales at least, the big majority are women -- are responsible for all of Society's ills. A NSW Minister for Education once remarked that the greatest issue that teachers had to face in their daily professional lives was whether to have Scotch Fingers or Iced Vo-Vos with their morning tea.

Mark quite often defines any problematic issue in terms of the role of English teachers in causing the problem. Mark holds the rank of Kyuudan in Teacher-Bashing.

I unequivocally support the Poetic Justice Forum.

Hi Paul ... ditto.

My husband is an English teacher. I blame him for everything too.

Quite right, too. We are always on the lookout for new ways to destroy Western Civilisation.

I'm a Norwegian teacher. Can I help?

Help dunk the Iced Vo-Vo, Peter, or help destroy Western Civilisation?

Most writers on Eratosphere are intelligent and thoughtfully engaging, but I want to remind people that if certain posters offend you, you can block their posts:

Can I block posts, emails and messages from specific users?

If there are particular members that bother you and you do not want to see their posts or receive Private Messages and Emails from them, then you can add these members to your 'Ignore List'. There are several ways to do this:

Through your User Control Panel: User CP, Settings & Options, Edit Ignore List. Then, type their name into the empty text box and click 'Okay'.

What if I see something offensive?

You will find 'Report' links in many places throughout the board. These links allow you to alert the board staff to anything which you find to be offensive, objectionable or illegal.
