This is true, but as a beginner I find myself holding my tongue more often than not still due to the fact I'd hate to praise a poem that isn't technically correct, and if you're writing in form it seems that should be the most important part? It would be like if I post something in iambic pentameter but it wasn't IP, wouldn't the technical aspect be the more important side to address? Would the poem still hold value if it wasn't true to form? Again this is only regarding Serious Workshopping.
