While you're criticism might help someone, remember every writer is on a journey learning to write. We all have something to improve and work on in our writing. Sure, I see errors, but I don't get upset about it, because I know there's a lot to learn and not enough people do give positive criticism like the good editors. Like on my Novel he only read 1000 words because I went to a writing workshop and spoke with him personally, and offered it free, but most writers need that professional criticism rather than other authors so much. While all of it can be helpful in the end, it's just good to see you're no different than them and there probably is someone saying something about your work. There is no perfect writer.
If you will read from the beginning of the thread (which was titled rants for a reason), you'll see that much of my criticism is tongue in cheek, and nowhere do I claim to be perfect. However, I have an editor's eye, and the way I choose to express myself is my business. I don't need to be taken to task in my own thread. If I were just a little more helpful, I'd point out the several errors in your post, but I can't be bothered. If you find that harsh, I suggest you can find entertainment elsewhere. I warn you - I have more ammunition than you do if you wish to start a war.
