That's a mighty large assumption of me based on a little comment in a little website. I can appreciate Cohen's poetry as well as any other poet, and I can consider him a great even if he doesn't hold a candle to ee cummings or Frost.

Don't use my appreciation of Cohen as a means to condescend, you're assuming the entire breadth of my knowledge and appreciation of poetry based on a throwaway comment.

When you take my statements as they are intended and in fact explicitly stated, you can tell me what to do:

    Don't use my appreciation of Cohen as a means to condescend

And also:

    based off a little comment on a little website

That's not meant as condescension?

I explicitly state that my comment has nothing to do with you, but with "the general public." You took it personally. That's not my problem.

I left Reddit to avoid this level of bitchy condescension and semantic bullshit. Don't respond to me.
