my opinon - leave some
you and Rybka
The few I see of yours, have not been specific, generally glowing for people that do not need anymore "glowing" I have seen none of Rybka's. Take the heat, both of you, the place would be so much better, share the education it is obvious both of you have it. Instead I see rather preachy sermons posted over here from both of you, show me, don't fuckin tell me
<snip>
The few comments I saw from J. Doe where provoking. All of YDD's comments where provoking. Ishtat leaves provoking comments. I hope as 1201, I left a few.

yes I know the meaning, I looked it up, here it is:

pro·voke ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pr-vk)
tr.v. pro·voked, pro·vok·ing, pro·vokes

1. To incite to anger or resentment.
2. To stir to action or feeling.
3. To give rise to; evoke: provoke laughter.
4. To bring about deliberately; induce: provoke a fight.

you can chose your own reaction

I seriously don't think the Public Comments Board should be used to give critique. If a poem moves you to, then leave a quick impression and move on. The words you leave are basically attention grabbers and should provoke the reader of the comment to actually READ THE POEM and form their own opinion.

If a poet would like to understand more about what their work inspired in me, personally, as a result of what I left, there are these threads, my pm's and my email. I encourage their use and not the Public Comments Board.

In essence, leaving a PC on a poem is like writing an ad banner for people with like minds to follow.

Only my opinion on this, but there ya go...

With all due respect to you, but follow the outcome of your statement:
1.) oh this is so wonderful
2.) this is the most wonderful thing you ever wrote
3.) I disagree with #2, because I find it even more wonderful

Do you really want that to happen?
I wouldn't. Openess, make the statement, defend what you wrote, if asked.

In your case, I find you one of the better poets here, I amazed at your work, and you write in a style I am not partial to. Yes, I think you are good. When I left a comment on yours, I did not see anyone follow the lead, rather the reverse. And I said what I said, because I felt you walked through it. Unlike some of the others of yours I left comments on.

I just took a look at J. Doe's comments, whoever it is, offers good advice. Almost like having YDD back. These people are needed, probably moreso than the poets, because there are alot less of them.

I may start submitting again, just to have the honour of getting popped by J. Doe. I'm sorry, advised of my errors

Thank you, twelveoone.

Let me clarify a couple of things. I said, "If a poem moves you to, THEN leave a quick impression..." You are griping about gratuitous statements that have no meat to them at all. I'm saying, condense and put some thought behind the comments you leave behind, if you are so inclined. Otherwise, why waste critique in a venue where the poet may never even chance to read it?

I didn't say you had to laud a poem in every comment, either. You inferred that I meant the ad had to be positive. Why can't those three statements be flipped around?

• This is not your best work, if you'd like to learn why I feel this way, I'm available at ...
• Did your dog die? This poem makes me want to howl... signed ----
• I disagree, this was a good example....

I'm just saying that no one can say all there is to say in a quick note on the public comments board, I don't care if they are YDD or J. Doe, noone has that facility in English, since English is not a succinct language to begin with. There are too many ambiguities in meaning, therefore, there will always be differences in understanding.

I am curious how you can praise a person who finds fault in every thing written and not call it negative? Or a problem-atic soul spilling their vent by showing the world they don't like others writes and nick picking at problems but not showing others how to fix them in a nice tone rather than "slutty body" comments,

I feel we forget this is an amature porn site and not an school of hard knocks <grin> cause I know all about hard knocks <grin>

There IS fault with everything written here. it is wrong to notice it and not mention it if you really care about improving someone's writing.

J.Doe's comments that I have seen just call it what it is. Ego? Confidence. Hard knocks? Blunt honesty. No sugar. If someone does not like it, they can delete it from the comments before reading them. That would be a shame.

It is like noticing that someone's fly is down and not telling them because you don't want to embarass them.

I know there is a division of how people want to be reviewed. Good thing there are places for both. But if someone happens to give you a review that is from the school of thought that you don't want, just read it and say thank you. Obviously no one is changing their minds from all of the argument eh hem discussion going on.


Lit is what we make it, if we make it an amature porn site then that is what it is. It is my understanding that many many people want it to be more.

Take care,

~as

Where did J.Doe go?

Welcome Back

Hang in there rybka, ....<grin>

I can't believe my ears, people actually want a negative personailty to preach to you about your poetry with a swelled up ego like a professor with a hemroid. I just don't understand why? J Does comments were slung from a soap box it is obvious they are swelled up in the head and spat comments with a negative tone and you like that, all I can say is see a shrink, cause that is to dark a soul for me to rub shoulders with. 'On Guard' <grin>

Speaking of soapboxes...
