    M. H. Benders on Will Dockery: "A real coffeehouse poet..." - from his Dutch website:

    M. H. Benders: "That's great. It sounds like a really interesting project. I will promote the video over my website which has about 80.000 visitors a year, enough to give your name a decent boost into recognition by Dutch people. It's nice that these sort of cross-cultural initiatives can develop over the internet. So much negativity floating around that it's good sometimes something positive happens."

    M. H. Benders: "Thanks for showing an interest in the cross cultural project I am planning. You can arrange the reading events in everyway
    that you see fit, I trust your artistic vision. When you have taped the events you can send the tape. It would be nice, I think, to have some real American elements mixed with it like Country Music (I have
    always been a great country music fan) but you can also use jazz if you want. I will make sure the video is digitalised and shown on different locations on the Dutch internet. Then, in the future, we can
    also try it the other way around."

    And, again, the original quote seems just fine with me:

    "In my opinion Will Dockery is easily one of the most authentic American poets around. A real coffeehouse poet who is not scared of mingling some real American elements such as country music into his
    poetry..." -M.H. Benders

    And so it goes.

    You write spam, Dockery. Spam. You write 200 posts a day without a
    single interesting thought in them. You think you have the right to
    flood countless groups with this Spam because...well,eh,...because.....
    because you like to call yourself a poet." -M.H. Benders

    "Dockery, everyone knows that you haven't published a single poem in
    your life except on your own website. Everyone knows no one will
    remember you for your 'poems'. The only thing people will remember
    you by is the irritating spamming behavior you expose online which
    gives Americans an even worse name than they already have. All spammers I
    have seen so far were all without a single exception Americans. Why
    do you think that is? I'll tell you why: because they get the idea
    spoonfed in their education that it's their godgiven right to pollute
    the world with their 'opinions' - bolstered under the flag of
    'freedom of speech' without any sort of comprehension or reflection
    what 'freedom' or what 'speech' would be." -M.H. Benders

    "Continuously flashing your small weener in public will not make it
    grow, Dockery. You're just hungry for attention and there's only one
    reason why: you're an empty windbag whose only talent in life
    consists of irritating other people. A masochist who just keeps coming back because he's addicted to getting hit. You're a sad old fuck, and I
    hope someone will shoot you soon. The world will be a better place if
    that happens." -M.H.Benders
