It's a poem, not a diary

[billy]

I have a question...If a poet posted an unsuitable, vulgar, beyond the pale poem...would the mods remove the poem or the poet ?

If the latter is true then surely this blurs the line between poet and poem.

some (and it's a very rare occurrence) poetry gets removed because it breaks the law. child porn, gratuitous graphic rape etc.
and not really as it's the poem that's being sanctioned and not the poet (though some will argue that's not true.

in total i think the site has gutted two or three obnoxious poems, that's not a bad percentage. we do ask for a spoiler in the subject heading for nasty stuff though. as for unsuitable or vulgar...we have a shit load of those on the site. i dislike many of them because of the content but censorship of that kind isn't on,

often i'll ask the mods "if we can ban him or her" and they shout me down with a " no yo can't"

i'm not a lover of people giving sympathy for a poem unless they know it to reasonably true.

i've just thought of a new style of poetry

diarhetic poetry
