[split] Mentoring Read Me Thread

[cidermaid]

Thanks for putting this up Milo, I know time is at a premium at the mo so appreciate the extra effort to do this right now.
Looking forward to participating in this thread.
I just wanted to ask a question about any oversight or covering that is at the back of my mind and would be my main hesitation about becomming a mentor and i suspect i am not alone in this concern, so i will put it out there.

Basically i would be concerned with mentoring someone amiss. I have no problem with making a fool of myself and being seen to be poetically incompetant, but i would hate to think that i was leading someone astray with false or wrong information. You mention that the thread will be open to comments but not critique from others. How about if the metoring is just daft or off the wall? could there be something in place even if this was then a pm to the mentor. (otherwise might destroy the confidance of the mentor and the poem poster if too public).
This would be my only resever to taking part in mentoring.
Sorry to be asking this at this stage. Apoligies i should have brought it up sooner.
