--Who are you to say what's good?
--There's no such thing as good or bad; it's all just opinions.
--If you know so much, how come I never heard of you?
--I showed this to my girlfriend, and she liked it.
--What are you, like the poetry god?
--I've been published, you know.
--When I read this to a bunch of drunks the other night, all of whom were waiting a turn to read their poems, they all liked it.
--I really really liked your poem. Now read mine, and tell me what you think.
--You're mean. There's other things in life besides poetry.
--I've been writing poetry since I was 8, and I don't have to listen to you.
--Yeah, we read that Tennyson crap in school, but this isn't the Middle Ages anymore.
--I read this to Anne Sexton before she committed suicide, and she said it reminded her of Adrienne Rich.
--You're not the boss of me.

How about...I didn't come to America until 1972 so my English not so good.
At least I write from the heart but you don't have a heart!
You must not be getting any so that's why you're so mean.
What do you know anyway? All of my friends liked my poem. My publisher likes my poems.
I let my friend read you and he/she thinks you're mean too.
I just think that you could be less mean and use what you know to teach and encourage others but I think you're funny.
Who are you to tell me! What are your credentials? How many poems do you have published and where can I find them?
Pathetic Jew!
You must be a devil worshiper.
