some contest horror stories, but this one is something special!  It can't be merely a case of he says/she says with all those details, the coerced website and the previous winner's story, for example--gag order notwithstanding.

The poetry community seems to be re-evaluating the importance of contests as a result of all this. An interesting tangent, to be sure, but tangential all the same.
