You know, I’d really rather be posting about poetry than writing yet another post about the travails of cohost. But here I am, since a share of one of my posts has been “doing severals” and has occasioned some responses.
I would recommend in particular this post by @renkotsuban, which I think is fair and well-reasoned. I commented in response to it, and will expand a bit on those comments here, especially for people who don't follow them. (Since they've locked the post from being shared, you're not going to see it otherwise.)
