Thank-you for making my point: "Get a grip, get over yourself, or get out." That's exactly how the totalitarian government of Cuba put it to me.
And Castro's standard reply when questioned about the silencing of poets is something along the lines of: "I fail to see how the moderators at other sites do their jobs has anything to do with how we do things here."
Yes, a poetry workshop should be open, encouraging and democratic. It is, after all, part of the "Republic of Letters," is it not?
Best regards,
