I love a critique I strongly disagree with. 
Sometimes I read a poem and think I don't have enough to say to post. Then a member will post who has had a totally different read than I did. In my urge to let the poet know I am forced to review the piece more carefully to pinpoint my response to it and have enough to post myself. It teaches me what specifically makes the poem work or not for me.
So thank you to those that hate the poems I love and those that love the poems I hate.
Posting is a better response than sitting on the couch shaking my head. Try it.
