Worst/Favourite Feedback You've Received

[sr71plt]

Can't be too idiotic, you felt the need to respond as you always do.

Now see how annoying that stupid little smiley is?

Sure, it's idiotic. Did you bother to check how many novels I have out there that aren't coauthored? Or are you just scattershotting the insults any which way just for the hell of it?

You know, being clever in insults involves not being a nitwit with them.

And was this you letting me have the last word?

 

[sr71plt]

Using phrases like massive retaliation shows what an insufferable egomaniac you really are.

This is a forum not a street fight there is no retaliation here.

Retaliation denotes(at least to those who were not raised in a white collar elitist environment ) a physical confrontation not making smart ass remarks while you hide behind a computer.

Naw, you've made it into a street fight by being idiotic.

FWIW I enjoy reading the trolls on some stories. They amuse me and are sometimes more entertaining than the story.

How common is it for authors to comment on points made in their story comments? Sometimes people's comments reveal they didn't understand parts of the story, or missed things altogether. I've commented on their comments which they didn't seem to appreciate.

I don't know how common it is, but I've responded to comments on occasion.

I like this thread. I've found a couple more authors to read.

I don't comment in the comments section, but if someone leaves their email, I'll sometimes drop them a line. The person would have to check back to see if someone else commented, and I don't know how many people would actually do that. I'm sure some probably do.

Edited because I quoted you by mistake. Jeez there I go being human again.

I respond to any who send feedback with a return e-mail. Now as for public comments most in incest tend to be anonymous and as for those who have "handles" I will only respond if I see the same person several times and thank them for their support.

I will also as mentioned send some one a message if their comment asks a question or they seemed to completely misunderstand something that happened int he story.

Yes, thank you! Hope you enjoy. Feel free to tell me if you do, or if you think I suck.

No, people get their asses kicked in street fights. This is sticks and stones.

If idiotic and inflammatory posting made for a real fight they'd be lining up to kick your pretentious ass.

Once one has a co author how do your readers know that it is really all you in the others?

Nah, all kidding aside I'm sure you write most of your novels. Notice it struck a nerve though.

As for being clever with insults, define clever? In case you haven't noticed you continue to act like you're better than me yet continue to go round and round with me.

Something tells me that only one of this here takes this seriously and I don't feel it's me.

 

[sr71plt]

No, it made me think, "What a dolt."

As before, you were just off in lalaland on the charges you were making. You feel so inferior, you have to make up ridiculous comparisons and charges?

 

[SydneyBlake]

I laughed. Then I got all self-conscious.

Really? I was just joking. There's nothing wrong with drinking nonalcoholic beer. I'm not much of a beer drinker, myself; I prefer girly mixed drinks, but hey, I don't judge. To each his own.

Oh fuck, there's that phrase again...

Oh, it didn't ruin my day or anything. No worries. I'm not much of a drinker at all these days myself

Check the posts cretin. You're the one that turned this into an argument, refusing to leave it at "to each their own"

as for inferior I'll give you a gold star if you can tell us which one of us is constantly trying to shove their credentials down everyone's throats.

matter of fact I'll invite any one reading this witty exchange to chime in on that one.

Back when I was in college, I once read this long, involved political conversation written entirely on the wall of the bathroom stall in the men's bathroom. I mean, people must have spent hours in there, scrawling on the wall of the can with ballpoint, arguing vehemently with people they didn't know and had never met, even though it would all be gone when the janitor scrubbed the stalls the following weekend. But at the very bottom, one guy wrote my favorite part of the exchange in huge letters: "You're all assholes!"

I don't think anyone in this thread is an asshole. I just like that story. But if there's any moral to the story, it's that I don't think it much matters who ends up king of the shitter.

Found my entertainment for the night. I saw this last page and had to go back through the pages to see where it started. All that I can say is that this is an interesting conversation...debate....argument.....whatever you wish to call it. I would have thought that maybe people would be more mature on this site. I guess that I was sadly mistaken.
Side note: I actually do like both of your writing styles. I may not like the way you act, but I do think that both of you write wonderfully.

Why thank you Cassie!

As for mature goes do you mean to tell me that when it says "adult web site" it's not just talking about the material? I'm really supposed to act like a grown up?

Damn that sucks!

If someone points out something he/she didn't understand in a story, I appreciate their comments. Any time someone leaves their name or sends me a message directly, I always send a response. I don't comment on comments very much, though.

 

[sr71plt]

Yep, that's your problem. Of the two of us, I have credentials. And that burns the hell out of you.

It has from the very beginning when you were stumbling your way through self-publishing your one e-book and poo pooing the advice you were being given from those who actually had the experience.

 

[michchick98]

Jeebis, are the two of you STILL at it? LC prefers to leave his comments. PILOT prefers to delete them. WHAT'S THE FUCKING ISSUE BEYOND THAT? Oh wait, other than the fact that the two of you can't seem to determine the winning distance for the pissing contest....

Yeah, we could go on for some time. That depends on how long Lovecraft wants to be on the attack.

And of course this doesn't have anything to do with what we prefer to do with the comments.

I didn't say I preferred to delete them, particularly. I was pointing out the full range offered here for someone who didn't like them to respond that was better than just coming to the forum and complaining about it.

You can ignore/endure them; you can erase them; you can deny all anonymous comments; you can deny all comments. That's a lot of options this Web site gives the author.

Back to the point of this thread. This is a nice one I received on my last chapter

story died when
08/05/11 By: Anonymous
The story died when it turned to all the kinky garbage of anal, bondage, spanking, etc. at that time quit reading. Why kill a decent story by going into the sewer?

Now honestly the only disappointing thing here is that it took me 36 chapters to go into the sewer. I must be getting soft.

Spanking constitutes "the sewer"? That guy must have a hard time of it.

Credentials. Why yes we know you have them. Everyone knows you have them. Because you never stop telling people you have them. You probably write it on the bathroom wall in restaurants.

You know something? my wife has 3 degrees. Not many people outside of her family and her job know it though, know why? Because she doesn't feel compelled to tell everyone that she is highly educated. She also when someone starts babbling about something in her field and it is wrong simply shrugs and says oh well (okay not exactly true she will make one attempt to express her side) rather than relentlessly badger people with all that she knows.

You're a braggart and a blowhard. Big deal you have a degree, a piece of paper on a wall. Still doesn't make you better than anyone else. If you were half of what you say you were , you would never need to blow your own horn.

See, for the sake of those following this sophomoric conversation this will be my last word. I will once again Pilot, for the sake of those who have not heard me say it before, explain exactly what you are. (besides a conceited asshole)

You are a poser. You are a wannabe. You are a white collar white bred, silver spooned elitist, a spoiled little brat. Some one who has had all the trappings of success handed to them. Now if that were the case and you kept your mouth shut fine. No one can help where they came from and you'd be a fool not to take what life gave you.

But no, you perceive yourself as relevant. Edgy and extreme. SRPIlot is cool! He's been there done that! Oh please. Your vanilla ice cream. You strive to be something your not.

Think writing gay erotica is edgy? 25 years ago maybe, but hate to break it to you habu, GM is getting pretty damn mainstream these days. Hell I'll finally lay it out there and admit that I don't even think you're bisexual. Just another ploy to be something daring and different.

Not that any ones sexuality makes them that way but to nerdy little wannabe's like you it does. You were that straight A pocket protector wearing nerd that so wanted to hang with the cool kids, that mama's boy that stayed in home and went to bed at 8.

You probably drive through the seedy section of town (if there is one in snotsville USA where you dwell) and if you see a bum in the street run home trembling with excitement telling everyone about your brush with the seedy side of life.

So you come to this faceless forum and strut your stuff, pretend to be something your not, and that's special. You're no better than the rest of us Pilot, and the fact that you think you are actually makes you lower than the rest of us. You're the only one on here who thinks their better than. I may pitch my fits and post my over the top rants once in awhile but I have never demeaned anyone nor will I.

Love or hate me I'm me. The same me I have always been and always will be, I have no desire to be what you are Pilot. A conformist who wishes he were anything but.

Now a sincere apology to everyone here who wants to talk about feedback. I promise to post only the best of the worst that I receive (and leave up by the way). So when Pilot continues to babble his inanities at me, don't hold it against me.

Oh Pilot, one more thing: :
