As for your site's aesthetics, I don't like them, and agreed with Nappy about it. I didn't realize that I had to like the way it looked in order to submit.
I didn't have any sour grapes, but I do have mosgivings now.
Tell you what, just delete my submission. You do not have my permission to publish any of it.
More hostility. Why? I did not even know now you had submitted anything. This is fucking weird because I don't know what's going on but I know the aesthetics of my site have nothing to do with it. But there's more to this than you're telling me. Fist, you tell me that you submitted something, then before I even see that post you come back a few minutes later telling me the site is ugly and how you don't submit your work to others anyway. That sounds like sour grapes in light of the fact that Lemonvariable72 thinks I declined your submission.
You don't have to like the way my site looks. It's been up for 5 years and you are the first person who didn't like it, but then all I asked was why did you submit to it if you thought it looks bad? That doesn't make sense. Your hostile response to this reasonable question lets me know there's something else going on.
We were friends just yesterday. We had respect and admiration for one another. What happened. I did not do anything to deserve this treatment from you PT.

No, there's not.

Do I have to come over there and crack your heads together?
Because today has made me crave violence. Kindly do not give me an avenue to sate that craving.

I didn't say you declined it based on any of its merits, I stated the deadline was long past. Which is accurate as per the OP.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

"Per the op?"
I just went back and reread the original post. I still don't see anything in it concerning declining anything. I never declined his submission. I hadn't even known that he had made one.

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.

Okay did you read the part where you said deadline June 25 2015? Yeah that is what I was pointing out to parker. That is it.
