I believe I already spoke to that earlier.

Maybe you should actually try reading what has been written, rather than being so focused on trying to defend yourself. This is a site for improving your poetry. However that is impossible if the writer takes an adversarial attitude towards critique. If all you want is praise, there are plenty of vanity poetry sites around where you will never have to contend with negative feedback again.
