Your displacement comment isn't accurate. I would feel exactly the same regarding my comments on Jimbo's piece even if I had never heard of the poetry comp, much less entered it, and received no comments, even after my request for some. I am disappointed, though, you're right. Maybe even a little hurt. They are two separate issues, though; yet, they are issues which converge in light of the immediate situation.
I'm not "mothering Jimbo," but am making overall comments, in the context of Jimbo's piece. There are no claims nor implications of ownership of this section; but the presumptuousness of why people post here are inclusive in my comments. Given the overall ~ I mean over the years ~ nature of offerings in this section, if a presumption of purpose for putting something here is to be made, at all, I feel it's more reasonable to make one that the poster is simply sharing, unless they request a critique or critical comments or constructive feedback. If there only WERE a box to check! Not everyone thinks to comment as to whether they do or don't want critiqueing. Unless someone is more clearly practiced in writing poetry, and don't ask for it, and depending on the nature of the piece, my presumption would be that they're placing it here for the simple reason of sharing. I could be wrong in that. As you'll recall, this section was created in response to the multiple requests by Georges that a section be created for the sharing of the writing of members. An online poetry workshop wasn't part of the initial lay of the land.

Yes, that's an option and presumes that there will be a next time. Unfortunately, I feel that the nature of some of your crits are and have been so scathing that some haven't bothered to try again [I'm thinking back to periods when you were very active in this way]... and that others won't even chance it; with us missing out on a wide variety of poems, of varying quality.If someone receives crit that they didn’t want they can point it out for the next time.

I think I've probably said all I need to say on this and will conclude my participation in this thread, unless there's a really compelling reason to re-enter it.

warmest regards from a teetotaller. my question is similar to yours but crucially different as well. WHO is playwithfire? that was not a philisophical or detective query, I simply mean I do not recognise the name at all. from your posts I have no incentive to go and research the answer!Jimmy O'Connell wrote: And will somebody, do me a favour!!!!
Where, in the name of all Greek and Latin muses, is playwithfire.... has he returned from his "business trip"...???
Now I'm one Irishman who'd love to have a go at him!!! I'm now switching to shots of Jameson.... neat.... no ice.....!!!!!!!!!

Mighty fine stuff it's turning out to be... made behind a wall... down the end field... where the pratties are transformed into an elixer that Finn McCool hisssssself would take a liking to...
Would the two of you care for a weee dram????
And the lot of us will sing til dawn and tell stories and rade pomes ta wan anudder.... and when we run out of tunes and flutes and fiddles and banjers, sure I'll take a trip to the wee lad I know and get a free re-filll and return to yaz all and we'll let rip with rale criteeekin' and insults ta bate the band.... and then, at the break of dawn the two of ya can line up and bate the crack outta wan anudder whuile the reshht of us rade more pomes ta wan anudder and all will be well... and all manner of tings shall return inta the bussum of mudder earth herselllf....
