I think it's good for poets—anyone, really—to have some understanding of the journals publishing their writing. Each person can make the decision about how he feels having his writing published therein.
But lumping everyone together under the same ideology, based upon the ideology of the journal or a single editor of the journal, and blacklisting them, seems silly. We're back to judging persons, not poems, and worrying about politics and not everything else that is important in this world.
