Sean. I must post this.

One. This poem is nearing 2 1/2 years old, was the first poem he ever wrote at-- what would that be... 13 years old?

Two. Editing. It was an editor's job to catch the grammar issues prior to posting at that point in time, as I'm sure you are well aware of. We cannot punish him for errors made years ago that were not caught by those whose job it was to correct.

Three. Ok. Everybody knows Muad isn't Mr. Grammar. But he is all about content. That is what the quality control is about. It is the editor's job to make sure grammar is up to par prior to posting. It is their job to make sure content is of quality because many pieces have gone through the editing to posting that really shouldn't have based off of that.

Four. We are easier on people who are younger as to quality befitting their age. As Muad has matured so has our expectations of him.... not to mention him for himself. Muad does not find this piece worthy enough for bothering with, which is his right.

Five. BRI is the poetry quality control goddess. No one else. So Muad has no jurisdiction here, nor would he be expected to go over his own work if he were.

Let's not get ugly here people.
