I guess for me the key question to put forward for myself and directed at anyone running a poetry site is: Is this (the appearance of zombie poets), a problem that we need to manage or deal with and if so...How do we manage or deal with the problem?
I made the suggestion above that it was a wider problem for society (well in my experiance in the UK) and put forward the slightly tounge in cheek suggestion that we should be more effective in polluting them (and I used the word polluting with an intent at humor) with the ability to start thinking for themselves.
As Billy has pointed out it is possible to have deep and meaningful discussion / relationship building via the internet, so Im asking does anyone else think it is appropriate to think of the forum more in terms of helping others to aquire this skill (along with poetry skills)?
