I am not one of Angelina Jolie's fans, but I do admire her for making her decision public. Part of it may have been motivated to stop tabloid speculation, but it was brave of her to do. It will give courage to other women in this situation and help them to understand that they are no less women after these procedures.

Every person makes the decisions that are best for them, based on the information that they have. I don't think we should second guess such a personal decision, even if our choice would have been different. No one knows all of the information that Jolie has been given or what else impacted on how she decided and frankly, that is none of our business. We should all just wish her well in her recovery.

There are aspects of true stories that would not be permitted under the site's guidelines e.g. underage sex and incest. This would have to be kept in mind should true stories become a category.

I agree with CD about the importance of graphic communication (which is her expertise) and branding and in no way meant to make small of that. Input from members is always welcome to my knowledge. My point was that the symbol itself had taken over the discussion rather than positive remarks about what it represents. This is a way for those who have not reached the level of recognition that some writers here have to become better known. That is a really good thing.

I think that people have lost what should be the focus here. That should be on being pleased that writers will now be getting recognition in a new way rather than complaining about the colour and shape of the symbol.

This is not a cooperative where every member has a say in every decision made. It is Nicola's site and the decision is ultimately hers. It seems to me that it is really ungracious to carp about this. All of the suggestions are acceptable.

Would it be too nerdy to say Lincoln?

No, it would be intelligent.

I don't know what to say about the child molester, but the story about the kidnapped journalist was likely kept quiet because of negotiations that were going on to get him released. Most governments say that they will not negotiate with terrorists, but do when they have to, only under the radar or through intermediaries. This is why nothing appears in the media.

The story about the molestation would likely have become public in most countries with a free press. I wonder why it did not happen there. Even if his colleagues did not report it, one would imagine competitors would.

Your love warms me like the Tuscan sun Golden, glowing, and ineffable. It quenches me like Parisian rain Cool, soft, and delicious. It blankets me like Canadian snow Enveloping me, glittering in the night. It propels me like Chicago’s winds Always back into your arms. You touch all of my senses: Hearing your voice, Seeing your face, Feeling your touch, Taking in...

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. ” (F. Scott Fitzgerald) The past is prologue so they say It informs our present and our future.  It makes me wonder if there is a way To escape the past and its pain.  Some memories warm the heart,  Others make anguish live again.  There were times so very warm,  Of unconditional affection,  ...

We all have a past A bank of memories  Both happy and sad Of love and passion Excitement and delight Loss and heartbreak. Je ne regrette rien. Fleeting encounters Where impetuosity overcame reason Fuelled by intense desire Being mutual objects of lust  Like a flash of lightning  Incandescent, hot, ephemeral And soon gone.  Je ne regrette rien. Having been...
