There, there Whisper

You're shouting, darling.

I felt the same way, but what are we to do? Obviously, you're weren't the U.S. judge. LOL

Personally, I'm hoping that on the next competition, you are asked. Your critiques and observations prove to be impartial. Stop making a stink. You want to be asked, dontcha?

Come have some tea with me.

Peace,

daughter

Re: There, there Whisper

LOL. I know I'm shouting. I hope I didn't spit on anyone.

No, I wasn't the U.S. judge. LOL.

If I am asked to judge the next round of the Olympics, no one will know, because UP prefers anonymous judges. I'd be honored to be one, of course, because I'd take it to mean that UP values my critiques. And thank you for your comment about my impartiality. I'm sure my biases get in there from time to time, but I try to keep them out.

If I'm making a stink, I'm sorry. Stop feeding me beans and Sangria!

The American judge has contacted me via anonymous feedback. While I was glad to hear from him/her, I found the reasoning to be unsubstantial.

However, Smithpeter has asked me to desist in my foot-stomping and ruckus-making (my words, not his.) So I'll be quiet now about this only because he asked me.

So, I await the third event with great glee.

Is it a secret what the U.S. judge told you? I'm curious why he gave smithpeter such low scores. I love that guy's poetry. I haven't read anything of his that was, in my opinion, below a 4.

The U.S. judge did not tell me to keep it under my hat, but he/she chose to send it privately instead of posting it here.

Eve, if you're the only one interested, if the judge gives me the okay, I'll pass on the info.

U.S. judge, if you don't want me to do that, pm me. I'll abide by your wishes.
