Replying to a comment on:

The love I have been searching for, I found after many. Will it last, how long? Unknown are the answers But will be learned in time. The end when it comes, Is not important. What I have now will last forever, Even if only as memories. A feeling of joy, That will stay in my heart. Let it not be lost on the one I love. Forever and always, A place in my heart he'll hold.

Ridiculous. Their having the same subject is no excuse for their sounding quite so similar. If you can only speak of your love for this character in this one tone, I suggest your love is not particularly profound.

And bleeding hell, what is this obsession with constructive criticism??? Constructive criticism! Constructive criticism indeed! The hell with constructive criticism. I would like to thank you for making me notice that I really and truly detest that term, along with all it implies. WHY, might I ask, should I give constructive criticism? Hmm? Oh no, this is the modern age, and we're all very politically correct, and we musn't say nasty things, we might bruise these poor people's fragile little egos... who gives a flying monkey's mid-air fuck? If your egos can't take insults, tough, and good luck in the world. The hell with constructive criticism. I have no interest in your poetry, and all I ever mean to express is my personal opinion on the poem. Why should I help you to make it better? If you cannot better it on your own, that is your own problem. Now, of course, you'll ask me if I don't prefer getting cosntrutive criticism rather than insults on my poems. The sort of criticism you want is always interesting, but then the insults are always funny -- sometimes in their inventiveness, sometimes in their mind-boggling idiocy. On this site in particular, the heckling is often better written than the poetry anyway.
