"Peacemaking is not a bad thing."

Exactly, many persons have come to you with proposals and you have flatly refused to accept any of them. There is a simple win-win formula when somebody rejects your attention....<<<There are nearly 7 billion people on the planet to select from. Offer one or some of them your attention in exchange for leaving this 1 alone>>>....The benefits to you appear to far outweigh the loss of ability to simply engage Poet. This provides great potential to you while costing Poet nothing. Refusal to comply indicates that you are looking for something other than this type of win-win situation. And so leaves the rest of us suspicious that your obsession with Poet is not healthy.

Poet is unavailable. You have no rights in this regard. She is a private person and has declared boundaries that she does not want crossed. She has the moral right and legal right to have those boundaries respected. You do not have the right or authority to violate these boundaries. You have refused to acknowledge this "fact." Violations of boundaries is an abuse of another persons rights. It is not peacemaking.

If you have a proposal to offer at this point that you think would give Poet any Peace, it would include for starters a demonstration that you respect the terms and conditions she has already laid out. "NO TO OR ABOUT," which means that for starters any such proposal can NOT be presented by you to Poet.
