Which is more constructive?

[RiverNotch]

Oh, not bitch and moan and ridicule, I mean crit the works of criticism as bits of literature themselves, a la how we crit poems now.

You can't legitimately crit a crit.
It's supply and demand. Crits are worth more than pomes.

Amen, but if you wanted to try the Arse is the place to do it. You don't want to distract from the thread itself. Put your helmet on, tho, my first year here I PMed a mod suggesting a crit for the spotlight. I was told to just go ahead and start the thread. The original OP had a hissy fit that I did anything at all with his poem. Ah, well, even best intentions. Still, in the arse anything goes, so do what you please.

But we crit essays on pomes, and it's considered legit ---
anyway, anything? Man, who cares about crit -- I'm gonna go make bestial porn with a bear!
