b) Today's Offering (May 28, 2024): 

poetry lyrics:/ You wrote poetry. Glad that folks read it?/ This co-operative site
 earns due credit./ But Contributing-Eds/ (Some) concoct in their heads/ Subtle
 bullying done with an edit. 

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.
