Edward,

I am no fan of Tessa's. She always leaves nasty comments on my posts that do not add to the discussion.

But I really don't like to see writers attacking other writers. This seems to be a trend on Medium and I find it unprofessional.

I thoroughly enjoyed your piece and agree with all your points. But I think this piece would have had more value and focus if you wrote it from the angle of - Why Poetry Still Matters.

Blogging = Making your point by attacking another writer

Writing = An opinion piece that raises valid points without diminishing another's views
