As an editor here, one of my jobs is to foster the exchange of feedback that is the core of Poetry Circle. It is certainly not my role to encourage people to post their own work for feedback but ignore the work of fellow members. So I concentrate on reading and replying to the work of members who do the same for others on the site.

The only real rule for posting at PC is the requirement of politeness, the rule against personal attacks. So we are all entirely free to choose what we read or reply to. But if you wish to hold up your end of the underlying social contract, and keep the ball rolling, a simple rule of thumb is to thoughtfully reply to three or more posts by other writers per each new post you make yourself. You probably like getting at least three replies to your work, and the only way that happens, for everyone, is if everyone participates.

We should have a sheriff, with a badge for an avatar or a photo of Bat Masterson.

"There are those who argue that everything breaks even in this old dump of a world of ours -- because the rich man gets ice in the summer and the poor man gets it in the winter, things are breaking even for both. Maybe so, but I'll swear I can't see it that way."

You've outdone yourself here, Dax! Just the mention of a cowboy badge has worked its wonders!!! Tom
