Some good points Mark and as for you and Ella being guilty of not providing enough crit...no way you are def among the stars of shining example on the site in terms of what you give. 
I have also been thinking about the different forums and the points you rise about some posting here to be respectful is valid I think. I am wondering if there could be an emotion button or something where a poster could indicate the desire for deeper crit if others wish to. I know that I mostly post in the lower levels when I feel that the poem is only in a really rough or unworked stage of write and this is how I tend to think of the difference between the forums. (as well as for novice and mid term poets).
Not sure if the idea of a "More please button" could work for poets who want to welcome any level of crit but don't want the shame of placing something crappy and thus unworthy in the higher levels. Thought it was worth a mention. (Although scrap that name, certain members will have a field day with it
)
