I am sorry to see that you have missed my point.
I was too subtle the first time; i’ll be direct now.

You were giving bad advice:

“Revise. Express the experience through one or two images. The
oboes werent really there, were they?”

(Frankly speaking, this is beyond bad–it’s terrible advice.)

i used a pseudo “haiku form” to make light of your
heavy-handed, condescending and arrogant words. No
“deep thoughts” intended or included. Just a bit of humor.

I assure you, i have read plenty of and about haiku and other
similar poetries. That doesn’t make me a writer worth crap
(actually, i am worth “crap” as a writer, and i know it), but it
means you have no clue what you’re saying when you give
more heavy-handed, condescending and arrogant advice to me.
You’d do better to critique others less, and work on yourself more.

As for me not being involved in the discussion: when you post
on a public board, you invite public involvement. It’s the nature
of the beast.
