often feedback goes one of three ways with newbs, they often burn themselves out giving it and their poetry and we don't see them for an age. or they give a moderate amount of feedback and a moderate amount of poetry, (these guys stick around a lot longer and if they do move on, often return for more fun, or they give only the amount needed in order to post a poem, often the amount given is also very very (not sure how to phrase this really) charming and has no real depth to it apart from...i liked your poem. these guys often piss off and stay pissed off because they've found a site where every piece of feedback is the same and every poet thinks they're fantastic at creating poetry.

getting that thicker skin is a must, sadly it's growth is beyond to many aspiring poets for much too long.
i/we are truly thankful for the guys and girls that do try and give honest feedback. though we're not perfect; i think it's what keeps us from being too nasty or too patronising.
