Well post something here and I'll tear it to shreds if that is your wish.
In the meantime, get a haircut.
And change your socks; they don't match.

Funny, isn't it, that when people ask for critique, which, after all, is but one's own opinion or reflection or reaction to a work posted ... funny that when critique is asked for, too often the asker then critique's the critique, arguing the validity of the critique, backing the critiquer into a defensive position. 
 
This always makes me wonder if the asker wants critique or argument. 
 
I am not saying the Professor is such a person.  He appears mature enough to use critique as it is intended.
 
But I have had that thought before.  About other people.  And I was wrong. 
 
I am continuously amazed that people will ask for opinions that they don't really want. 
 
But I am amazed at many seemingly trivial things.
 
Wear boxers, not briefs, Prof.  And quit trying to look up the girls skirts.  Those shiny shoes don't fool me!

dudes and dudettes, I am totally busted
o.k. let me think, should I post something
bound to get an arguement started, or
should I post a critique of something
so others can critique the critique
or should I be critical of myself
and merely critcize my desire to
hear other's criticisms.

Actually, I was just kind of trolling:
about 90-110 feet at about eight knots
sometime close to feeding time, say, dawn:
off neah bay for salmon, still trying to get
the range for this message board

i am reading this thread and understanding your feelings....I think they come from learning this place
the hands of it....
how to 'make yourself', and more particularly 'the poetry of yourself'
in this place....
it is a challenge
few rise to the ocassion...it is all about discipline and keeping going and keeping connected and putting down text whenever you can...

aching to be torn to shreds, as you have called for in your opening gambit... is par for the course...find it in any work,
I encourage you to step back and wonder at how this would happen and what it would mean...
reading the subtleties of who we all are and what we are saying
and our context
thrugh the glas, all smoke and mirrors
and the joy of the connection here
is a gift so available...
how real do you want to be? (thereis always email if you are stuck)
Why not turn the way it works in this strange, smoky and cyber space?

How do you fit?
