A Question of Kindness

[billy]

I hopped over from Philosophy Forums. Those guys are as strict in work-shopping the truth or falsity of language claims as you committed folk are to improving poems. Trolls get exiled to an unmoderated region.

Some bans seemed unnecessary but I don't ever track down all the evidence for probable cause. I don't always see the forest for the trees (where the troll lives).

Experience and learning varies but the more you have the more likely you'll be enjoyed, responded to on the account of having something worth saying. It's like most forums I guess.

And crit is what we come here for, right?

How about the pleasures of communication, poetry as dialogue and self expression? Surely there are forum categories for more severe levels of applied critique and work-shopping. I'll be sure to stay out of those places unless I'm willing to see my sand castles and ego knocked down.

yep we have forums where critique takes a back seat. but if you post in them we still expect you to respond elsewhere, at least in the novice feedback forum. i can't remember the last time someone got banned life is so unfair at times.
