I fail to see why I should apologise for having an opinion, a fact I made
clear in my response. I said we " may be"  not "are"  allowing a scam to
be promoted, and asked for the opinion of other members. I do not dictate
to the members of this List. They would not let me for a start.
As an editor and selector of poetic works I think you should be able to
discern the difference between statements of fact and opinion.
I think you will find that the members of this List are intelligent enough
to make up their own minds and need no encouragement from me.
I look forward to reading your poetry when you submit some for us to read.
