Forgive me if I misinterpreted this, but does this rant have anything to do with the rather bizarre critique that a fly-by intelligentsia (who nobody here knows) imposed on your poem in the Lit section? First of all, disregard the negative comments. You know you're no hack, by any definition. Secondly, learning to accept criticism is an important skill for a writer. I know it's hard, but remember that it's not you he's tearing down, he's deconstructing a piece of writing. The poem is inside you, the concept is in your head and he can't touch that. He can only comment on the words you used to express it. Make the poem even stronger, bring the concept into focus so that nobody can misunderstand it.
Also remember that posting on a public forum is asking for advice from strangers, and take it in stride when you don't like what they say. Including this.
