Carl, since you want to keep bringing it up I will say yes bumping your poem repeatedly to the top of the queue can be impolite and selfish. Why is obvious. I admit that the board isn’t how it was once. There’s often only one poem in play so it may not matter as much. But if there are two or three new poems and you repeatedly jump over them by responding to every comment individually it can be rude.
I didn’t say anyone was rude and the other individual who passed on that truth for consideration dir not call anyone either. But we have a board now that isn’t receptive to actual critique. Feelings are hurt and instead of considering the comment let’s accuse the person who took their time to help with the poem of being a hater. Yes, it is now that immature around here. The goal seems to be for a mutual admiration society instead of a board where,people put poems up and accept the critique instead of slurring the person who did the critique. Things change and not always for the better.
