Reggie, your entry was stellar; however I, as well as the other judges, double-checked your entry on your page and Rumi is not hash-tagged. In order to create a theme for Rumi ( one of the purposes of this comp ), he must be hash-tagged on your personal page.
And considering you publicly protested before your edit, and certain members saw it, it has to be addressed publicly.
That is a shame.

It was not clear that the hashtag had to be on my personal page. I added it to the post on the competition forum. I regret that I misunderstood your instruction, but to be fair, that was not clear. I regret my participation. You have humiliated me in public, on the forum. Please review my post on the forum, you will see that the hashtag is there. Please, retract that you called me out as non-compliant.
I am still hurting.

Reggie,
I'm sorry you're hurt; that was not our intent. All the judges double-checked all the entries and returned a list. It's not personal; however, we have to state when others are disqualified, and the reason why.
For example, one posted an old poem - disqualified. Was he hurt? No. He simply posted a new one. Another posted a poem to the comp and not his DUP page - disqualified. Was he hurt? No.
Is Walley upset about his typo? No.
No one is trying to hurt anyone. We are attempting to be honest that others pay attention to the guidelines.
Are we not all adults here?

Ahavati, thank you for the mention (and pointing out that hiccup in that work in progress I must've taken literally). But most all, I'm thankful you introduced me a great writer and the wisdom he shared. Wonderful competition.
THANK YOU, Wally, for being so gracious. I hope you'll desire to learn about Bishop in The Man-Moth, or the next I'm about to launch.

Thank you!
If all entrants could edit their entry themes and add #JelaluddinRumi that would be great.
