I must remind everyone that giving a critiquing review is one thing but being right out rude and ignorant is another. Then again for me to criticize a review is the same as me criticizing a write. Just as I write the way I want to write. Others may review the way they want to review. They may feel like being ignorant and rude just as I feel like writing the way I want to write.
But there is a difference when it comes to attitudes. Rude and ignorant people are mean and inconsiderate. Whenever you critique this way the bad traits bleed out your skin. And you will start a fight with someone. I try to avoid fighting because that is my preference. But I am very good at throwing a punch. Fighting is a waste of good energy but can be entertaining, depending on the attitude personally. Just because I like a good fight doesn't mean I'm going to waste my time fighting.
Every since I've been on this Den I've have been picking out the mean, rude, jealous, bad trait members. You can't help but to pick them out because as I stated, "it comes out their skin." Every now and then or all the time they'll show up and show out.
To them I say, clean your act up.
If you use words to write,
then maybe you can use some that won't start a fight.
You can get the same point over and maybe keep from being attacked, thus causing yourself less trouble.
Rude,
Rhymes with attitude,
Attitude rhymes with rude,
and this does include,
your stinking mood.
Don't show up with an attitide,
Then say "excuse me for being rude,"
If you're rude and mean,
It will definitely be seen.
There's no need for an "excuse me."

My mom always told me, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." And that's even a good rule to follow when giving a writer's critique... however, it is my choice to privately email the writer if I think there are some problems with the piece... courtesy when speaking of such is the only way to go, however. I rarely will do even that, unless I have become acquainted with the writer, and I know he/she wants suggestions.
This is a fun piece of work... to read, and I hope you had fun writing it. Good job.

I think this sums it up... goes with Ted's "Beware serpent of the den"/// Excellent Grady!

Don't know what this is all about but I agree with a lot of it,we are here to write and read and to comment if we want.
It is nice to get good comments but that dosent always happen,that is life.
I have 'The lot' myself...the good,bad,rude,funny,critical,cruel,
slaughtering,elating flattering,excetera excetera,excetera.
I guess it comes down to this old saying:
If one can't take the heat they should get out of the kitchen.
Personally I feel very sorry for anyone who is getting an unfair deal but also have had my share of 'sorrys' given to me and I admire anyone able to say that word sincerely,I have always accepted it,grudges cause cancer and bad reviews should be swept away if unwelcome.... or studied for any sign of truth if the writer wants to grow.
We have the choice.My good reviews have cheered me but my bad ones have helped me moreso to know myself,they have helped me to be a better poet and person(well that's my opinion on it anyway).
I love the way you did your poem in part in big print,it is a firey little piece of work with much wisdom and truth in it.
Best wishes always

No one wants to fight with you. Cheer up and just write your poetry. You are still in my good books.
