that brings up another thing if somebody
wants to publicly post their poetry they
should expect a little negative criticism.
it kind of goes with the territory.
why post it to be "left alone"? that is the worst
crime in the art world is people "leaving things alone".
that is how things get better, by critical dialogue.
which i must note is what poetry itself is opposed to
or at least the majority of "poets". that's why most poetry
is so bad, it's opposition to critical dialogue. i tend to
agree with Bahktin on that issue.
if only my "Blockade tournament" had gotten this much
negative feedback. (sniff sniff)
