sometimes there are some really good snarks!
pure insight in a jiffy.;.)) an often overlooked and condemned form of poetry by itself...
i agree, writing substantial criticism would take a lot of insight, research and, ummm.., courage to get into trouble and black listed?
the stuff i often hear in school juries for example, are usually boring and trite conventions that gained some kind of an impressive patina from being told over and over. it is like listening the same tune over and over. they are too perfected but not spirited...
also, a lot of times criticisms are counter ideas and people take them as final judgement or, often, misjudgement.
I reconise nothing of your thoughtfull critic in the responds I get when I point to the papers and works I has presented here. I see bullying and nopping by the class bully accepted and allowed without a word against the evil poison, rather than relevant answers -- What I experienced is arogant poison and a need for having someone to make a fool of --- and I can easily point to some of it.
