Ah, sorry. I treat all crits, both given and received, as two parts strangely blended together: one part actual critiquing (so, talking about aesthetic choices, moral issues, spiritual feelings, etc.), the other part basic proofreading -- here, I tried to clarify the divide between the two, since I consider proofreading to be essentially universal, being based on more concrete rules. Thus the expectation that they be responded to immediately, as in they receive the greatest priority if the lines are not to be changed in sense or style, and not as in the temporal sense, since they are, again, based on more concrete rules, and are all focused on fairly superficial errors. I suppose my language was just a little too aggressive.
Please continue any further discussion on proofreading here, so we can refocus on the poem. Thanks, ella
