Chidi, why bother yourself?
A good number of the world's greatest poets were self published-Dante, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Poe,Baudelaire etc
Some of them were purely or largely oral, Homer, Ifa and Afa poets, etc
You don't need to validate yourself by anybody else's standards, particularly when the person in question has no real interest in the substantive issue but are simply unhappy with you bcs you belong to a different world, part of which might be a perception of you as a political opponent.
