Re: Profile: Author has written 7 stories for Pokemon, and Bible.

"Reading comprehension: stop failing at it. I said it was yet another one written for you, followed by blaming you for the stories. Arguing you are not in any way involved BECAUSE they are birthday fics being written for you that you then compliment and encourage is stupid."

Try understanding what I'm writing. Then you might get somewhere. What I said was that I DID NOT WRITE THEM, so saying I was responsible for this "subgroup" is entirely inaccurate. I had no hand whatsoever in their writing, and I complimented them because they really were good stories. Try reading the story instead of critiquing it and you might actually like one or two.

"No, they didn't. Perhaps they did to you because you were already familiar with the background and didn't know what they would look like to someone who wasn't filling in the blanks. Again, if you want to make an argument, you have to actually have some sort of reason and example beyond stamping your foot and saying it again in a louder voice."

Only one of those three was in any way connected to my stories. And that one still gave all the necessary facts for someone who had not read my stories to understand it. Or, as an alternative, they possibly could read my stories first and then read it.

"I would appreciate it if you weren't whiny and stupid, and could figure out that if you want to talk to me a different way, you could try contacting me a different way, instead of contacting me in one place and insisting I go seek you out a different way and OMG stop MAKING you come back to talk by RESPONDING TO WHAT YOU WROTE how DARE I."

I did not instigate this debate. You did. By flaming those stories, and then by coming here and making fun of me you began it. If you really want an argument that badly, you can come say things straight to me instead of talking about me behind my back. Oh, and I am in no way "whiny" or "stupid"; in fact I am the opposite of both. Speaking out against injustice is not "whiny". And you cannot call me stupid if you have no idea who I am or what I am really like.

"So what you're (ineptly) saying is that someone sent you the link to both this and my forum? At which point you clung desperately to your ignorance, made sure to avoid finding out anything more, then decided that obviously, despite knowing nothing about this, you were totally sure this was some super secret site I didn't want you or anyone else to know about?"

This actually made me laugh. What I'm saying is that I really don't care about all the (likely egotistical) paraphernalia that you have in your profile, and I don't care about your stories or pretty much anything else you do besides the flaming. No, no one gave me any links. I found this place on my own; I have my ways, but that's beside the point.

My advice to you is to read a story and list everything you liked as well as what you disliked. Make sure you tell people what you think in a respectful way. Maybe you don't care about other people, maybe you only care about yourself, but let me tell you that people will respect you more if you're nicer, and it'll make you feel better, too, when you give someone friendly advice.
