Ballad of Web-Forum (Excerpt)

We came here all in one same cause,
in polarized intake. 
It shaped and bent like nature's laws 
our purpose and our make. 

An ethos and an ambience, 
a character and mood, 
arose as one spontaneous 
equation, while we cooed.

We'd filed in like filings.
We all became as charged.
The field was wide and ripe and clean,
and everything writ large.

And then there came the latecomers.
With theirs, they swelled our rank -
And soon the whiff was in the wind,

And all who breathed it stank.
