Question: What are the evils of an open poetry forum!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
For some time, I saw no evils except the personal ones I had to deal with!. And then!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

People who criticise others with no positive motive!. You know the ones; "This sucks" "Yawn, banal, banal!.!.!."

I always felt that a forum should be a place for sharing ideas and criticisms in a positive, mutually helpful way!. Manners come as part of the package with any adult in my book, and if you do not have that you are indeed damaged goods!.

Criticism such as that shown above serves only to illustrate the paucity of spirit the poster suffers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

An open poetry forum allows others to hurt people!. This is a shame especially when young people who want to learn poetry are turned off by harsh criticism!. However life, like fire and water, is both a blessing and a curse!. Posting poetry requires courage and perseverance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

People using it to punt books, perhaps!?

Your unnecessary personal abuse directed against me demonstrates quite amply the evils of an open poetry forum!. Answer an openly solicited question, get insulted for it!.

And I'm quite aware of the concept of sharing!.!.!.that's why I share my opinions!.!.!.absolutely free!. No, don't thank me!.

If you don't like the heat, don't insist on coming into the kitchen, Robert, me ol' china!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

People say mean things like "I think this is more of a Doggonnet!." And then the person who asked the question gets hurt and then they're afraid to ever post another question because they have no self esteem left!. Then they take to drinking too much to self medicate and after a few months their wife hates them and they get in a fight and then the drunk is, not only drunk, but he's angry and stomps out of the house to go to the bar where he thinks he can find people that understand him and runs an old lady off the road into a creek!. Then while over doing the bar seen for a year or so he hooks up with some skank that gets him addicted to heroin!. He spends all of his families savings on the brown stone!. His kids never get to go to college and end up never getting a good education and therefore are too stupid to vote!.

On the bright side though, the world needs ditch diggers to!. Who else is gonna build the pyramids!.

Well there are people and jerks like who always criticizes poems of folks they know nothing about!.I have seen many on here and it's sad that they are so insecure that they think ranting about how horrible peoples work is' but always are reading it and know nothing of writing poetry or the beauty which it presents within!.!.If someone wants to comment fine' but do it in a grown-up way !.many have their work to back it up' and not childish taunts that are nothing but gibberish!.I have gotten many great advice about how i write and it has made me a better person ' but when some people do iot just to be mean and cruel ' is not good at all" as their hate does nothing but makes them look more foolish!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
