Poets on Good Behavior

There's been lots of talk about poets on bad behavior -- and I've gone on about it here a few times.

Without going into details (partly because I don't want to bring more attention to it and partly because of my own shame), I want to say that I unintentionally, yet royally, screwed over two poets with my carelessness -- and those two poets have every right to "freak on my ass" -- yet both have been wonderfully gracious and maybe a bit too understanding. This isn't an exciting tidbit -- but I want to point out that most poets I deal with are incredibly cool even when they have good reason not to be.
