Leanne, these rules are well thought out and I do appreciate you posting them, but do you think we can get an exemption to the not loving them part?

What's the dealio with swearing?
Sorry, I'm new, and I'm sure there's a thread somewhere that will explain this to me. But if I'm completely honest, I'm really lazy.
Is swearing ok as long as you tag the title, or is it not allowed on regular poetry boards at all?
And just for the record, I brought cookies.
I don't go anywhere without cookies.
And a fork, in case there's cake.

If swearing is.called for we swear. Like gentlemen. (Except for Leanne who swears like a one legged prostitute on a bender)

You only need to tag the title if the content is explicit -- the odd swear word doesn't count. Neither does an even swear word. Anyone who's offended by colourful language probably shouldn't be here.
And yay! Cookies!

Sarcasm can get you called names, even if your purpose was to jokingly inform someone that they must review a poem before they post one to be work shopped or ask them why they would need help analyzing a poem that they wrote themselves.

Don't let their ignorance stop you upholding the rules, Chris. Your questions are our questions also.

OK, I won’t. I thought that I may have spurred the retort, but I noticed the strange query asking for analysis rather than critique. It was also in serious workshop, while the individual loitered for hours leaving no reviews. I honestly thought that I was doing them a favor.
