I know that I am new to this site, but I have heard quite a bit about what has been happening regarding the "reviews" made to a certain story. This is something I am interested in and not because I am attached to the "offending party" but because I, too, am a writer.

One thing I have learned, though, is that criticism should be taken in stride. I have received a few very negative comments regarding my writing, some even going as far as saying I should never write another word. However, if I had taken that advice, I would have given up on my life's ambition. So, I simply took the "advice" in stride, took what useful information I could from it, and filed the rest under "G"

You need to take what was said in stride, but I also wonder what your reaction would have been had it been from a woman and not a "pig" as you so eloquently put it. I also don't think that you would hesitate giving a poor review on some one else's work, given your abusive tone and demeanor.

Well, anyway, enough said. I have said my opinion. And as the imfamous Dennis Miller says "But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong."....but it is still my opinion.
