The Yahoo site is filled up with teens and others who think they are writing poetry (they are usually writing rhyming verse and there is a HUGE difference between that and real poetry). These kids then post this stuff on Yahoo Questions (a violation), asking everyone to tell them what they think. When they get a critisicm and are told that what they are writing isn't very good and that they need to take steps to make it better (like reading the masters) they get totally bent out of shape and then report you for violation of "Neither Question or Answer." Indeed, the answer was an opinion and generally, most of the stuff on here is really bad (poetry). If you don't want to hear both good, AND honest critique, then DON'T ASK! Whenever you put your owrk out there you are going to find that not everyone likes it, and when you ask for advice, don't get mad when it's NOT what you wanted to hear? Some of you want your egos stroked, apparently. Don't REPORT when you get an honest answer!
