How do you engage readers on Literotica?

Intim8 said he was done with me. And he is. He's ignored me for two days now. He's smart enough to not stick his foot any further down his mouth. You on the other hand, you seem to like the attention, and you definitely need to have the last word. It's silly and childish. So do what you want. the choice is yours, but I'd advise you not to lie to yourself - in front of everyone I might add. I get disagreeing over this, but acting like the decision to put a blurb at the top of your story is akin to exposing the author's innate weakness -- rather than just a decision some authors on a website for smut sometimes make -- is extremely silly.

Christ. What even are the stakes, here? Do you think we're all posting our stories from a room full of starving werewolves who will pounce at the first sign of fear?

Again, it's fine to disagree about whether we should put up blurbs. Hell, I don't use 'em! I also don't self-upvote. But if someone else does, I don't act like it's a character flaw. It's just two people posting stories on a free smut-site who disagree about something that's relatively trivial.

ETA: Like, seriously, I get how internet discussions can get out of hand, particularly when everyone starts bandwagoning on one side or another, but I desperately want to know how on earth someone's opinion on sticking a blurb at the top of a smut-story REALLY matters.
