Things that are not allowed at The Pig Pen

[wasellajam]

Things that are NOT and never will be banned at The Pig Pen:

• Honest, constructive criticism -- even if you think your poem is too precious to be touched.  There are sites out there who will love you.  We don't.

I was initially averse to the idea of critiquing poetry, as I often think "I haven't augmented your text, I've mutilated it!" 
I guess I was caught up in the subjectivity of things whilst simultaneously ignoring the ever-pervading objectivity which surrounds it

Let’s just go ahead and add usage of the word « whilst «  in a non ironic way to ban worthy offenses - Kay?

Poor whilst, such a lovely word so universally despised. My stay here would have been regrettably short if vendettas against specific words became rules.

Free the words!!!! Power to the words!!!!! Hands off the words!!!!!!!
