I don't believe this is a circular argument, especially when some members are giving certain "rules" that may or may not be true. I actually, really thought there was a rule about not dismissing your crits. Someone said at some point that you're supposed to accept your crits, whether you revise or not. So sue me.
I also really didn't know that beginning poets weren't welcome to post their poems, that this forum is for only experienced, published writers. Personally, I don't believe in that rule and don't know how it can possibly be enforced. I feel like a beginner each time I begin a poem.
As far as my own poetry goes, I now don't know what to post -- poems I'm sure of, or poems I'm not sure of. So sue me again.
