been noticing what is happening
here on WB
decent and experienced writers leaving
new comers are on a writing spree
remember the time when i was a newbie
senior writers to comfort
were always there for me
who now are disappearing in large numbers
not been writing much
but haven't stopped reading
visit WB everyday, haven't lost touch
the stuff here is becoming quite misleading
from where i started
WB was a hub of budding writers
now has transformed into a site
for writing erotic stuff and of love write ups
miss David, Mallu, Ankita, Eternal me
have always been fond of their work
Mukhtaar, Arnica, Quill and Sushree
reading and rolling while having a perk
doesn't matter whatever the polls may be
or page visits, or hate messages or comments
SS, dear admin of WB
I really wish for Wb's progress

Old authors never actually left WriterBabu ... I visit almost everyday though never get time to engage properly and yes many old authors who joined about two years back visit now and then ... some of them quite often ... like you ...
I am neither a fan nor a hater for erotic posts ... and same with love posts ... I just read the post for its beauty and content ... but I strongly feel that there should be variety and there actually is. Its just that the number of such posts is very less or lets say the number of love posts is too high ...
And all that is not without a reason ... most of the authors are teenagers ... its the time for their hormones ... and WB promotes free and true expression and hence they express what is on their mind most of the time ... we just can't blame it all on them ... But yes am not generalizing all the teenagers, I know few guys and gals who are teenagers but write really really awesome stuff ... they write less often though ...
About the erotic posts. There may be too cases, either the erotic writer is a teenager or a mature man/woman. Teenager's justification I have already given. For mature/older people erotica is a not an eye popping thing I guess, or say it may even slip out of there mind that how much is too much. Because things seems normal when you have "been there done that" or you have grown in a very open society. It just depends who you are for how you take it.
I can understand that the concern for erotic posts is almost never for yourself but for other younger folk who may get "spoiled" ... but mostly its just how you see it.
Objectifying women is wrong and it leads to violence and promotes the tendency of rape by desensationalizing their pain and emotions. But when its about celebrating the divine connection between male and female soul through their bodies, I don't think its wrong in any way and that our young ones need to be protected against that.
So lets make our target very clear. I think when we target something we should engage in a discussion and figure out where the problem is.
I think erotic posts as a whole are not harmful, and love posts are not harmful at all ... yes we need variety. And we need our old folks to be 'visible' here.
I really wish for Wb's progress :)
But the high and still rising number of such posts can't be ignored.
I would really like to know what you think
