Brought forward from another thread because it inspired me to leave.

This whole site makes my head hurt. I came here to receive honest critique because it didn't take long to realize on other sites that I could knock off a total piece of crap in half a minute and still have a bunch of morons applauding me. The concept of this site is what I was looking for but I've found that most of the time I'm either getting the useless "nice poem" comments, some little pregnant skank screaming "cunting pedophile" at me or Joey and others like him trashing me and thinking their dirt is over my head.
I'm not a child and I'm not retarded. I'm a mother of 4, grandmother of 2 (soon to be 3). I raised my children alone and they're all doing great. I graduated Valedictorian from both grade school and high school in advanced classes throughout both. I earned 90's in business and law in college. I ran my own business for several years but due to medical reasons (26 broken bones) I had to leave that line of work. Currently I handle medical data for the government to ensure that patients are getting the care they need.
My point is that just because I'm a bitch to those who attempt to patronize me doesn't mean that I'm stupid enough to stay in an environment that I find useless and this site is useless to me. I'm not as good a writer as I could be partially due to the fact that it's not my primary focus or goal in life by any means and partially because it's difficult to find someone who is intelligent enough to offer helpful crit and not so bound up with anger that they feel the need to shit on your page instead.
I've posted twenty piece here now and I have to say that the feedback I've received has not made it worth my while to stay. So this is about it for me, I guess. To the few here who've bothered to read and offer critique with respect, thank you and take care. Gotta go.

you've had some constructive and positive critique on some not very remarkable poetry - and your leaving diatribe is a spoiled, self-centred rant about how wonderful you are. Boring. Goodbye.

I doubt that very much. Broken bones? Riding a mountain bike - hit by a car. Not much more to say but I survived and will continue to do so.

Damn - You got me. I could have sworn I said "most" of the critique I got was useless or shit. I could have sworn that I said that I'm "not" a great poet. I am so tired of having to repeat myself to people who post trash without a name even attached. This is the kind of shit I'm talking about. I don't need crap from you. The only reason I posted anything about myself at all was for the benefit of the few who seemed to be curious, as if knowing the poet is important. The last thing I am is spoiled. I'm just too busy trying to maintain a happy life to put up with the likes of you screwed up unknowns. As for self-centred and wonderful - you're damn right I am. I worked hard to get where I am. Don't be such an idiot. Low self esteem is not something to brag out. Get a fucking name, already.

so, are you saying that you're pregnant and in tears, and that we're not applauding you like morons and that's not giving you a nice day and that, because you've actually been noticed and people have taken you seriously that you're suddenly self-conscious and don't know how to recover your aplomb? you have said that at least one of your pieces was dashed off in a minute and didn't mean anything at all. respect goes both ways. this place is very grownup and you have to find your own meaning here by seeing your weaknesses laid bare. all of us go through it. i wrote you a very nice little riff on one of your poems and people have applauded your work. you've been very lucky here.

The smallest of American owls, the elf owl, often nests in the Gila woodpecker’s cactus hole after the woodpecker leaves. The owl measures barely 6 inches tall. It specializes in catching internal link scorpions, seizing each by the tail and nipping off its stinger. It then swallows the scorpion’s body, pincers and all.
If the great horned owl were to be totally stripped of its feathers, the naked bird would weigh less than its feathers.
Owls are one of the only birds who can see the color blue.
To see at night as well as an owl, you would need eyeballs as big as a grapefruit.
Owl facts kids.
