Hello, All.

So today I signed up for everypoet.org . It was my first time ever visiting the site, I read several peoples work and I posted very nice comments. I am the Paula Abdul of writing critiques in that if I don’t have anything nice to say I just won’t say anything at all. I don’t want to be responsible for someone giving up his or her dream of writing just because I said something horrible. If I like your work I will let you know how talented I think you are. So anyway I posted about 3 comments on these poems that I thought were really awesome, they made sense, had good flow and had great imagery, a few minutes later I received a comment from the moderator. Below is our exchange:

I’ve just deleted several of your superficial critique attempts, as they are unacceptable here.

I sat here, I read the peoples work and I put my honest opinion, what are you talking about “superficial critique attempts”????

I want an answer because you were totally out of line with that.

You’re not going to last long here.
The moderators decide what is out of line and what isn’t, not someone who has just registered.

Your critiques are unacceptable because a moderator deems them unacceptable. If you can’t handle that, you might as well leave now.

You got it all wrong smart-ass, I checked your Alexa rating and guess what genius, you’re the one that won’t be lasting long pal, HEHE.

Don’t bother replying I won’t ever be back. Your punishment will be waking up day in and day out and being YOU.

Needless to say he banned me from the site, you can’t imagine how upset I was
