i'll be totally frank. only in as much as it helps them in respect to poetry and how best to take part in this site. the good thing with that is it can help them do the same else where. other than that my endeavours at helping others are pretty much family and friends based, and even then only close friends. i'll go out of my way to engage non poets on the site and would whenever possible help them if it were possible. in general, while we have our moments most zombie poets shrivel up after a short stay at a site like this. i'm not sure if that's good or bad but it's been my experience. we get lots of hopefuls but find that's all they were, hopefuls. then we get an odd keeper who isn't or doesn't want to a zombie.
i see this place as a meeting place in general and a site for poets in the main. i'd let every poet go before i'd lose sj. while the site is for poets, some things are more valuable. i think the site should be tolerant of others yet know when to say, enough, stop abusing the site. hope that helps, i rambled on a bit there didn't i.
as an afterthought. i'd probably;y make a good zombie poet, i've no formal education and i'm opinionated to the nth degree, and don't know an awful lot about poetry. but i don't want to be a zombie. i want to help myself return to the living.
