Beyond Critique

[Collapsed We Swear]

Typically people post in a critical forum because they know there's something not quite right about the poem and are looking for other perspectives to 'improve' it.  If you thought the piece was un critiqueable then why post it in intensive? Was my critique not to your liking? I gave a line by line and analysis. Or was it really a garbage post with no intention of taking edits seriously? 

The rule you broke was critique in intensive before posting intensive, it's just that serious of a forum, note most of your miscellaneous are still up...

When your trying to insult an entire group of well intentioned people only to repeatedly make an ass of yourself...

"The rule you broke was critique in intensive before posting intensive, it's just that serious of a forum, note most of your miscellaneous are still up..."

Only post here if:
- you have proof read your poem and it is free of basic errors -- 
- you post at least one considered, suitably detailed comment on someone else's poem in this or another critique forum before posting a poem of your own. (and just to be sure, I checked that I had given critiques in other critique forums—which I had)
- you are ready to receive honest, detailed criticism of your poem
- you are prepared to accept advice and suggestions to edit your poem


Now, back to the actual point: why was the poem removed? I posted that poem with complete sincerity and seriousness—and even if I didn't, surely it has to be assumed I did. Not only that, but are poems poking fun at poetry and poets to never be taken seriously or critiqued? Surely that's not a rule.
I would have liked to have read your critique—it could have improved the poem. But it was removed before I got the chance. Why? Is there an unwritten critique before the critique? Are some poems unworthy even of analysis? And if so, by whose standards are they judged "unworthy"? Or are they too good for analysis? Was my poem so perfectly written that it could have only been the product of a nefarious poetic genius posting an uncritique-able poem in the sacrosanct "Serious Critique Forum"?

Of course, these are all rhetorical questions. I know why it was removed and it had nothing to do with the poem. This is not a democracy and the mods can do what the fuck they like—as it should be. 
Obviously, the more general discussion I wanted to get going (good luck with that) after finding my poem removed was about critique and its limitations and biases.
