Now there is terribad and you-can-tell-they-tried-but-still bad. I get the first one, but not everyone is a Flaky or Storm.

I'm not saying all of them should be free to be on the site, but calling something someone has worked hard on weeds is one of the biggest insults you can get. Its practically insulting their own mental and creative abilities, and thats not cool.

I'm only big on the subject because I've had someone go through my writing and said it was shit before, and it was someone I respected. I stopped writing for a long time afterwards, and this year I've only just finally was willing to try again. That person just about killed my dream, and if I was someone else, they probably would have.

Yeah this is a long reply to a joke, but in all honesty thats a very controversial joke as well. I'm glad I didnt see it.

(I imagine your going to have a long reply back where you mention how Im too lenient or how all those pastas are shit and must be shunned regardless of effort or not - which I only say cuz you've done this in just about all the other conversations about shitpastas - but I honestly disagree. If they tried, give them advice. Even the whole reason the NUAs were started becuase Cameron experienced a bunch of users say his pasta was shit and deleted it without giving him ways to improve. Why make the NUAs and then continue doing the same thing?

The other thing I imagine is you might say how I imagined you wrong the first time, which I'll say out front I'd have no clue what to say about that. Its kind of the impression you give me.)
