I wasn't hostile until you jumped down my throat, Rhonda.
I mentioned that I don't normally submit poems not to slam you, but rather, to explain why missing a possible deadline didn't chuff me. It wasn't sour grapes so much as an "oh well, I missed the bus" comment.
As for my distaste for your site's aesthetics, that has little to do with anything; it was an aside. Had I known you would be this sensitive, I might have simply held my tongue. If your other readers like your layout, great.
I still wish you'd simply delete my submission, not because of your layout, but because I find your response unnerving and I should read your site more before submitting anything.
Sorry to have ruffled your feathers.
