1. "...a good man and a lousy poet His name was lit up, but his work was dim."
2.
"The best thing to ever climb out of a toilet. He was loved and hated,
and he will be missed, even by those not carrying fire-arms."
3.
"He threw away his intelligence and talent over a desire to sound like Keats and wow like Valentino, both of which he failed at, miserably."
4.
"The only person who viewed her strong positions and her smart poems worse than her enemies was herself."
5.
"He came, he saw, he complained, over and over and over..."
6.
"She was as loved for her poetry as she was misunderstood for her angry outbursts."
7.
"If he were as brilliant as he was twisted he would outshine Shakespeare.
Yes, he was the Shakespeare of internet pervs, oh and he wrote bad poetry."
8. "She knew everyone's secrets, and told quite a few of them too. She had a nose for news and could rhyme in meter to boot. She was clever as a whip."
9.
"A true Southern Gentleman, he was gentle ONLY when anyone was looking and
southern simply because snakes don't like the cold. His poetry was good, though not
as convoluted as his surface. Nor as deceptively shiny."
10. "This oft-times great poet's name says it all... simply faithful forever."
11. "Proof that empathy can lead to great poetry, and good poetry and mediocre poetry, and more poetry and more poetry... loved and respected, she was nevertheless, relentless in posting EVERYTHING she wrote."
12. "He turned gibberish into an art-form, persecution into a garment and genteel sexism into a form of email abuse. Being his friend meant being nobody else's. His poetry was as oft-read as it was pointless."
13. "She rarely posted, but studied Yahoo Answers with a whip and a chair. She was intelligent, but not an easy person to befriend. Letting go and forgiveness were neglected on her to do list..."
14. "On her better days she was generous and insightful. On her not better days she had the ability to be silent. She was supportive and caring, but the silence was winning."
15. "He was so clever nobody had a clue what he was on about."
