I fear that therein may lie the problem. You begin by stringing some little rhymes to-gether and are quite pleased with the result. You think to take it further, and get on one of these sites. At first all goes well, but then you notice that the critique, no matter how gently put, is telling you that you are way off. You lose heart, and pack it in. Maybe that's why I stopped writing, to all intents and purposes.....
and i'd love it if jill and others came back and allowed to make sure it was ran with better moderation.
hell, i'd make a mod specially for there in order to remove anything that verged of critique or constructive feedback if i thought it would help. but i'm not sure it would, in many instances one mistaken post is one post too many and removing it wouldn't matter.
