At the end of the day, people post poetry to receive comments, that's how a workshop works.  Anstey and Mos are just the last ones who haven't given up because they're not getting feedback on their poems -- perhaps they have the thickest skins.  So, if you've (aimed at anyone, not Ziggy specifically) stopped participating because you weren't getting feedback -- and yet you haven't given anyone else feedback either -- I think I can spot the problem and frankly, you're it. 

There's no obligation on anyone to offer comments but really, what's the point of taking without a bit of give? 

I have nothing but immense gratitude for Anstey, whose time (and money) is spent (probably wasted) on keeping a place for those who need it.  And I have even more immense gratitude for Mos, who seems to have gone quiet lately and who I hope hasn't given up for lack of participation -- Mos has been an excellent contributor and yes, he posts a lot of poems but he also makes a hell of a lot of comments and keeps things alive. 

So if there's something you don't like about that, change it by doing more than complaining.
