Nearly three years later, I am reading this. Purely by chance. And although I realize I am sorely out-of-depth, as my own experiences on this website has been confined to the fiction and poetry sections and I have very rarely gone within the vicinity of flame wars, I do want to say this. I respect and even admire you for what you have attempted to do with this five-part essay. I don't agree with all your arguments, and I'm afraid I do find perfect unity too idealistic, but nonetheless, it gladdens me that you are advocating and encouraging unity.

Seven sixteenths of one inch:
That's the distance you'd have to move your pinky in order to not sound like an idiot. I know the burden of pressing shift to capitalize is a great one, but c'mon Turing, you can do better than that. I used to type emails in caps like yours, but then I decided that I didn't want a job mixing concrete.
You said you had a question for me, something about a 200 pound girl (implying that I pork fat chicks, a cunning strategy by an equally cunning linguist), but the damndest thing: I searched your entire email for a question mark and didn't find any. Could it be because you didn't really ask me any questions since none of your sentences ended with a question mark, you dolt?
You used to enjoy "kicking the shit out of computer science fags" eh? So are you saying that all programmers are gay, or that you enjoyed "kicking the shit out of" the gay ones? I presume the former since you are after all, an idiot. You do have a point though: writing code all day is much more homoerotic than patting your jock buddies on the ass after a sweaty game of catch, then winding down with a nice, steamy, group shower. Maybe if you weren't such a sexually insecure dumbass, you'd have spent the time you pissed away playing highschool sports-you know, that thing nobody in the real world cares about-learning how to read instead so that you don't end up bagging my groceries after you graduate with your 1.2 GPA (rounded off nicely with that C you got in wood shop).
You know what the best thing about knowing that the nerds you picked on will always be more successful, have hotter girlfriends, a home that doesn't have wheels, and a stock portfolio with numbers larger than you can count is? Doesn't matter, get me a coffee.

I''m terribly sorry about contradicting about what you're all about, and this story may or may not be the best place to put it..
I, actually, rarely get flamed. The biggest, most frustrating problem I see on fp.com and ff.net is the complete and total lack of constructive critisism. Oh I get nie reviews all the time, yes, but they all say the same thing, in essence: "OMG it was great keep writing."
WTF does that mean? It tells me nothing about my story: what I did right, what I did wrong. The first thing I ever published on the net was a twelve chapter epic romantic mess of a piece of literature that recieved no direction from the readers, depite my begging for some remote critism explicitly written in the A.N. of each chapter.
And so, due to the seemingly unintelligent reviews left for me, my story got worse and worse. I know I should've asked for a beta, but I suppose every author assumes that their first line of defense are with the dedicated readers that follow every spoken word, every plot twist... they should know where you slipped up somewhere, and they should tell you. At least that's what I try to do.
And now I'm rambling. But anyways. That's my point. Instead of getting too much feedback, let alone horribly negative feedback, I get feedback with no meaning.
So there. Fin.

I'll say it once, I'll say it a million times = ) Work hard at writing, do your best, review everyone fairly, kindly and justly, accept constructive criticism, and have fun with it. If you keep to that, and follow the rules of the site, no reason for all the hassle and dividedness. I am not sure if that is a word, but ah well, the world has not ended, as far as I know. :) Life is too short to waste bickering and flaming about the small stuff, and it's all small stuff, right, guys ?

You and Raptor were the only ones who took the thing seriously. Give it up already. I don't know what Typewriter King there is doing, but he's not really attacking you or Raptor. The immaturity was also all on your side of the matter, so let it rest and maybe you can keep the shred of dignity that we missed under your arm.

Dear God, let it die already!
And Typewriter King, how ever do you make those lovely purple hearts?

I hate to disappoint Typerwriter King, but I'd suggest saving the money before you go making purple hearts
I have no intentions of continuing this, and actuall if you had tried to actually read what you review you would see that I am asking everyone to finally let it go
so yeaspend as much time in the mess hall as you likehopefully it'll keep you far enough away from a computer for awhile

♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥I'm manufacturing eighteen purple hearts to be issued in the coming campaign. I hope they display so you can see them.
As for me, I think I'll hang back in the officers mess hall, where it's safe.
How about another batch? This could be bloody! ^_^♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥

Interestingly enough, in some way I manage to agree with both sides of this argument...Let me explain.
First of all, I am a member of a couple of sites dedicated to writing, most notably this one and fandomination.net, which is a fanfiction site. Now, I am aware that there are huge differences between fanfiction and original fiction, but the parts of that site I frequent appear to be something along the lines of this one in microcosm.
There are the great writers, who everyone admires and most of us aspire to be like. There are the reasonably good writers, which are most of them - they may not be anything amazing, but they have a decent grasp of language, vocabulary, grammar etc., and can writer a story which the reader wants to continue. And of course, there are the truly dreadful writers, who don't bother to use spellcheck or anything other than NetSpeak, and of course fail to bother with a plot.
Notice here that I would not class myself as a great writer; if I had to categorise myself in this way, I would probably fall into the "reasonably good" section, since while my work, both original and fanfiction, does not usually border on greatness, it is at least readable, and I would like to think of it as mildly entertaining.
However, to my point. I do believe we should be unified on this site; we all, surely, have a common aim - to write. No matter how grand or how simple that aim may be, it still exists in us all, or there is no reason to join a site like this.
But I fully agree with your somewhat pessimistic conclusion that unity is unachievable. It's not just the idiots who have nothing better to do but mock the work of others that stop this, but also the people who refuse to take constructive criticism, deciding instead to claim that they have been 'flamed' and use it as an excuse for an attack on that author.
For example, I discovered, a while ago, a story on this site which was blatantly fanfiction. Whilst there are many arguments over what belongs where, etc., I simply reviewed the piece and explained - in a polite manner - to the author that this was an original fiction site, and if they would care to post their work on a fanfiction site such as fandomination, I would review it fully there. what I was not expecting, which I receieved, was no less than six reviews from the author and her friends, warning me to "shut up or else" and other such threats.
In my mind, I did absolutely nothing to warrant this attack, and feel that we must question why this particular author felt so wronged by my review. Who WAS in the wrong, I don't know, but either way, it seems to prove only that unity is impossible when faced with the amount of small-minded idiots that populate this site and its counterparts.

HI!. I'm not a member of this site but I have been reading and reviewing here for over a year now and I have seen some horrible things that some people write when reviewing espically when it comes to religon for example I once read a review which went something like this.
"do you see those pretty pills on your dresser? good now take one which will knock you out for 6 hours..."
I can't remember what the rest of it said but I did and still do feel disgusted that someone could write something like this just because they don't agree.
anyway I hope that you haven't lost your faith in people who are part of this site just because of this as i have seen some good writers as people I mean.
see ya
