What I have done here is wrong, which I openly admit and apologize for. My personal life is disintegrating before my eyes and I have released my anger in a way which hurts others and sets a poor example for those newbies who come here and see these hateful accusations being levied. I will try my best to keep away from here, but at the very least will be more careful in the future as to determine the real motive for my posts before making them (is it doing anyone any good, for example).

Since you still seem to be living under the illusion that, despite both your false premise and lack of good manners toward those not asking for the public critique, there was a lesson to be given and, despite your level of training, you were the one to give the lesson, I think it would be good for the thread to remain. As far as I can see you still just don't get it.

Well, AS, you have achieved something I thought would not happen.

I actually clicked on View Post to read one of SR's posts (#25). All it did was confirm the wisdom of my decision to have him on my Ignore List.

 

[sr71plt]

I think it's great to see you align in public with AS on this issue--and with this manner of posting behavior--Snooper. Let's see who else does. I think Carlus Magnus has so far, as well.

Dear Reader,

Notice Pilot's new trick of replying to someone, but not actually quoting them so he can always claim he was not picking yet another argument.

One wonders if he was finally spoken to about being the AH's biggest troll.

To AS, I like you, but asking ML to delete your thread is picking a fight and being unable to finish it. If you want to abandon the thread do so, but don't ask the mods to help. That's a page out of Pilots book.

 

[sr71plt]

Ah, yes, Lovecraft has arrived. What a surprise. And, attempting to be clever, joins the AS bandwagon without committing to have done so.

Anyone else? Elfin? Unlady C?

Anyone who wants to pledge for both the content and delivery of AS's posts here is very welcome to do so. I think it would be great to have you on that list for everyone to see.

Your mistake came in calling anyone out in public for unrequested vigilante criticism. It just happened to me when I'm outspoken about opposing this behavior. You based doing so on the false premises that I boast of the money I make from editing and/or engage in vigilante criticism myself. I don't do either. You also weren't correct in everything you called me on (you aren't a real editor--or a particularly competent one--you ask questions on editing here that no one with any training would have to do--but I've never posted that until you challenged me to). And herein was another malicious false premise you made about me (and that Lovecraft echoed--and that neither of you have backed up even though I've challenged you to do so). I've never posted that my writing was perfect--in fact I've repeatedly posted that no copy is perfect and that no one can edit him/herself. (And noted that the story you dressed me down for not only was edited by someone else, but has been in the marketplace for a year.)

I've also posted that the assumption here is not to be that writers are posting stories for them to be critiqued but to have fun writing and sharing dirty stories and that, unless they have directly asked for criticism, they should be left the hell alone to enjoy themselves. I've repeatedly supported story posters to write what and how they want. And for that, I'm called a literary snob. How stupid is that?

When told I didn't appreciate the public (and incorrect, both in premise and substance) dressing down and just to pack it in because it was bad behaviour, you didn't do so, but continued and became really ugly in your posts. I left you to it for two days without response, and you have just kept on going.

I have explained my postion several times now. They haven't changed. And I have not used the ugly language on you that you (and Lovecraft and a few others) have used on me.

So, I call it as all your doing and your problem. I don't really give two figs whether you go or stay. I'm pretty sure you won't be a competent editor either way. And I bet you continue to be as clueless as you have been on this issue.

Those piling on are just showing what jackels they are. And your behavior has been so bad that I don't care a bit to see them associate themselves with it. I see it as useful for readers to see them for what they are and to see how willing they are to wallow in the muck.

well I have no intent on kicking up mud that is thrown at another. But pointing out these small errors looks...small...to me. The words not joined still make sense and their disconnection does not change the meaning. The image/action is successfully translated. That's a goal of any communication.

Now if a comma were misplaced, that'd be something to examine.

Example:
What did you do with that blown-up rubber doll?"

Add comma, it becomes "What did you do with that blown-up rubber, doll?"

The entire image is changed with a simple clever curl...
and the jury breaks into laughter . Thanks to Tio Narratore for that clever pause.

Laughter, light and love...and peace.

It worked, LOL. I figured if I shook the cage enough then the truth would come out. Sorry SR, had to shake it more than I'd anticipated. To quote you -

(And noted that the story you dressed me down for not only was edited by someone else, but has been in the marketplace for a year.)

Contest entries need to be written for the contest!

You've been had.

Nope. Read again. Here's the exact wording from the contest rules: "All submissions must be stand-alone stories created for this contest theme." (It does not say exclusively for this contest.)

Nowhere in the current rules does it say they can't have been published before and have to first appear in these themed contests. If the rules are rewritten, I'll be happy to follow them. But I read them before I entered. You may have thought you read them, but you didn't understand them (which is hardly a surprise given everything else you haven't been able to grasp about your bad behaviour here.)

Four of my fourteen Halloween contest entries had been published before, but they were written specifically for this contest theme--and meant to be entered in this contest.

And you didn't think of this when you started this nonsense. You've just moved on to this out of desperation because you can't justify anything else you'd sunk to on this thread. Who do you think you're fooling?

You just can't help being clueless, you just can't stop the bad-attitude attacking, and you just won't stop stepping on your own crank, will you?

No matter how much sand you try to shove over this, you started this thread to denigrate me and puff yourself up--and it's backfired on you. And it's done that, because you really aren't very good at this at all.

 

[Darkniciad]

He's right, A.S. There's no restriction on entering a story that you've posted or published elsewhere before. You're falling victim to a common flaw of reading far more into the rules than is actually there.

Unfortunately, that's just the tip of the iceburg. This thread was unwarranted and wrong-headed from the get-go.

Again with this "spirit" of the rules.

That's code for "The way I want it to be" and has nothing to do with reality.
