[Michael F]

I was under the impression that workshop threads were deleted after a short time, so password protection was never much of an issue for me. The issues for me are i) working up the nerve to post a poem, and ii) making the commitment to read others’ work carefully and sympathetically, and to comment accordingly. The combination of i) and ii) can feel like a big ask to me. But I’ve recently been toying with posting in non-met, which is increasingly interesting to me. So maybe I’ll follow Andrew M’s exhortation.

I agree with Andrew F that members who show up only to self-promote, or only to engage in reciprocal promotion, degrade the site.

I do have a question that I’ve been longing to pose to other poets for some time – about their internal censors – that I’ll post here in G.T. A small step, perhaps.
