The following, posted for your edufacation, are the Official Compleat Buncombe Dodges of Inveterate Guffers. Harken ye, etc., etc.

1) "My string of arbitrarily-linebroken abstract-to-the-max gobbles has caused you to question X or ponder X, whether or not that was my original intention, though now and forever hereafter I will say it was. I am a raging success at everything."

ADDENDUM TO 1) "I'm always pleasantly surprised at the variety of interpretations I get for the abovementioned, a.l.a.t.t.m.g.s, all of which are true (even though I hadn't thought of them) except the negative ones. I'm a fucking artistic genius."

3) "I meant for this poem to be bad. I'm a jester."

4) "I wrote this in only 15.5 seconds. Fuck you."

5) "I've read your poems and they all suck. Therefore, I'm immune to your criticism."

ADDENDUM TO 5) "I don't think we're at the same place, poetically speaking. This is because I'm better than you."

6) "You give no specifics."

7) [Some disingenuously positive response to the one positive comment on your poem, despite that the comment poster is a known dim.]

8) [Nothing.]
