FEB 12, poets' corner: subtle bullying


SUBTLE EDITORIAL BULLYING

You wrote poetry. Glad that folks read it?

This cooperative site earns some credit.

But Contributing-Eds

(Some) get into their heads

Subtle bullying done with an edit.

 Dr G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio, 2022

Authors' Note: Used here in a loose sense, with no implications for ownership, cooperative refers to a group effort by like-minded individuals. Collaborative writing sites, such as the on-line dictionary OEDILF (nursery for many of Giorgio's concoctions), have the potential advantage to contributors of learning from peers, and ultimately higher rates of publication. Contributing editors ('eds'), however, may entertain estimations of their personal relevance and productivity that influence their editorial comments on others' work. Rarely, such notions are translated into malevolent actions by these poet-leaders.

Other problems with cooperative groups are discussed HERE.
