the truth is, i just can't be bothered. my muse if i had one didn't leave, i just can't be arsed. it's not like i'm trying to write something and getting bogged down with each word. i just don't have any inclination. i find this weird considering this site. sometimes when i see petty squabbles, i think wtf. if i were that bothered i'd just fuck off. it's fine pointing a bad habit out now and again but the pigs arse was made for more. it's for piss taking and letting off steam; yes i have squabbled in the pig's arse and the sewer many times but it was seldom about poetry or feedback. i have complained about feedback many times but as an admin or a mod. this piece of shit rant is more than pig's arse fodder. in the mods we're discussing changing the serious forum to simply "workshop" needless to say it will have more than a shit load of rules. why is this, why do we have to spend time fucking about in order to get you lot to stop using said forum in spitting matches or love-fests. {and it's okay to attack me and cry foul over this post}
why can't people just post feedback in their, and poetry of course. why is there back biting because someone says something another person doesn't like? tell a mod and let them decide [though not too often as we'll see you as a bit troublesome.]
this post is aimed at no one yet at everyone; me included. as a workshop we want constructive input positive or negative, we don't care as long as it's not attacking the poet and isn't out and out nasty.
there is no right or wrong constructive feedback in general, while we may the whole point of a poem we can still give feedback as to how we see the bloody thing...okay, so we get it wrong now and again and not because it's ambiguous etc. no, we sometimes get it wrong because we just got it wrong and read a different poem.
a bit cheeky of me really to post this way seeing as i haven't posted any poetry lately, but i read most of the stuff and i read a lot of the feedback in serious and i sometimes i see of poem shite going on. you can have a laugh with your feedback as long as it 's connected with the feedback. you can more or less say what you want but be honest, don't be purposefully hurtful, and don't give feedback on feedback unless you're the opening poster.
use the pig and the sewer to mock morons, mods, and admin. it there to take life easy, to take the piss of each other but again, nasty is nasty. don't do that shit till they're banned though of course that's not a rule.
now, the big question: how can we/you make the serious forum work properly?
silly answers will mocked in the pigs arse.
