Elise, here's a selection of some of your comments on the thread so far:
#4 "I thought there was an Eratosphere rule about accepting crits."
#6 "I thought there was a rule about accepting crits on Eratosphere"
#9 "I guess I'm wrong about there being a rule about members accepting crits. I don't know where I got it from."
#13 "I just wish I knew why I thought there was some particular etiquette/rule about accepting crits."
#21 "What I don't understand, then, is why I've seen poets get scolded for not accepting crits."
#24 "I thought there was some rule about members accepting/not accepting crits,"
#36 "I'm coming back on to say, yet again, that I thought there was a rule about accepting crits"
#47 "I actually, really thought there was a rule about not dismissing your crits. "
#49 "I actually don't know what the real rules are at this point."
#53 " I'm just wondering what the rules actually are."
#55 "I'm trying to find out what the rules are here, because I've heard varying things."
At this point I'm beginning to suspect that you really thought there was a rule about accepting crits on Eratosphere. Am I correct, or am I unfairly reading something into your remarks?
And here are a few more of your comments:
#4 "What's the point of an accomplished poet posting a poem here if he/she never intended for it to be critiqued in the first place?
#6 "I'm also wondering why I, or anyone else, should spend the time critiquing if the writer merely says, "You didn't understand my poem.""
#9 " I still don't understand, though, why members post their work and then don't take any crits into consideration. "
#15 "My main question is why post a poem at all, if you don't want help with it, if you reject all help, all responses?"
#18 "It only feels as though a lot of members don't accept any crits at all, and I wonder about their motive for posting in the first place. "
Let me get this straight. Is it your contention that it's hard to understand why a poet posts a poem if they are unwilling to accept critiques?
To paraphrase someone I once knew: It only feels as though you are not accepting any answers at all, and I wonder about your motive for asking your question in the first place.
