a point arose about this is not poetry

[Apophrades]

billy, lets be honest, if an exchange literally went like: "this is shit" ---> "thank you for your feedback," first of all, the thank you will always be ironic, secondly, who has learnt anything, who has imparted anything? except, "this person thinks my writing is shit" (this is all we can know for sure! we can;t just assume, the writer will suddenly be inspired to write better, there are too many possibilities).
