I'd like the 'Sphere to be more welcoming than this.

Posting poems is a good way of helping Spherians get to know you, but it shouldn't be a prerequisite for participation. I hope the Sphere can welcome thoughts about poetry, even if they come from non-poets (which Matheson may or may not be).

That's not true. I, for one, would be interested in hearing a response to Christine's request that Matheson apply the opinion shared to one or more of the poems posted.
We should discourage empty bloviating (a harsh description of Matheson's reasonably phrased opinion), but Christine's approach--to ask for something more rigorous--is better than rudeness.
