“… You understand that you aren’t very loved on this site, and if I’ll try to think on and accept your criticism you will have to do the same and try to improve your ways, before starting with the story that ‘people are insensitive’.”
Someone drinks Blaze’s Kool-Aid and decides people wanting to burn me at the stake is proof I deserve to be burned at the stake. They proceed to tell me to repent and mend my ways without actually telling me how, as per usual.
HinoNamiA response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12935962/ Hi Elmo.You’re right, I’m not an English native. I’m Italian and I’m like to exercise myself.
Unfortunately I must tell you that you have a very bad reputation on this site. This message came to me:
“A bit of advice there are five trolls running around the community. Farla, St Elmo’s Fire, Act, The Reeds of Enki, and Talarc. The three of them are basically jerks or trolls depending on who you ask. They basically go around nitpicking what they don’t like which is rather petty. Using Arceus as Poke God, not using Pokemon in lower case (it agreed they are both proper and common nouns), calling you a j*** for treating Pokemon as “slaves” (basically they dismissed Gen 5), consider the world tap as a completely necessary, demand you use horizon lines in an author note despite most using a different style, and generally telling you to use the beta readers who think like them.
It’s best to block them before they become a problem for you.”
… You understand that you aren’t very loved on this site, and if I’ll try to think on and accept your criticism you will have to do the same and try to improve your ways, before starting with the story that ‘people are insensitive’.
Apparently, you feel above the rules, since you’ve posted a story-script and it’s not allowed here. Why didn’t you remove and rewrite it?
However, I accept your criticism, being non-native it’s normal I may have done strange phrase constructions, and I thank you also for the compliments… but now I see you with tenderness, almost with compassion.
Try to change a little! You will see the others growing soft as well!

If you, personally, have an issue with something I do, tell me yourself instead of hiding behind a bully.
I was thinking she was exaggerating, but after receiving her alarm message and your review (which was creepily similar to the warned ones) I went to your page and saw tons of persons really angry at you. Someone was just utterly disrespectful, but a bell might have rang in your ears, seeing the great number of them.Maybe your ways are not good?
Maybe your bad reputation is spreading?
People are not stupid, they may just pretend to be.Dragon may have pointed it at me, but with MY brain I can see she’s right. You preach well but act bad, judging by your carefree attitude towards site rules (SCRIPTS NOT ALLOWED!).Ehm… you as well aren’t the whole community (thanking God).
Plus, I warn you: I want to keep my page clean, so you’re not gonna spam your reviews on my stories. I don’t want your haters as well to dirt it with replies. Tell this to your girlfiend Farla too, as she’s another one with superiority complex, as I have read MYSELF.
You think I was clear enough?
See ya, Lord Elmo! XD

[You preach well but act bad, judging by your carefree attitude towards site rules (SCRIPTS NOT ALLOWED!).]
I still have no idea what you’re talking about. Can you cite a specific story or stories?
[Plus, I warn you: I want to keep my page clean, so you’re not gonna spam your reviews on my stories. I don’t want your haters as well to dirt it with replies.]
So block them. They’re the only ones who do this. I don’t respond to their reviews.
Some of your Sburbia stories contain script.Yes, because they depict a chat program. In-universe chat messages are not the same thing as script format. The rest of the dialogue is written in prose.4m ago
But hey, go ahead if it’s allowed.
So is there anything else you want to tell me?21m ago
I don’t like to block, but I don’t like your way to do either.
You understand?
secs ago
However, I will say that if you feel attacked by gentle grammar corrections, you should rethink your choice to write publicly. I am far from the worst review you can get.

You are wrong here and you are gonna remember the name of someone who’s not gonna adore you and your style.
Perhaps you should stop reviewing and think at your own stories, or maybe at why you are so hated. Yours isn’t true kindness, if people are so offended by it. And not everyone is an edgy, rude child who can’t take criticism, you know?
You can feel free to consider me in this category, if you want. If you adopted some others manners I would have felt differently towards you, but you are someone who is never wrong, so… I write you to never come back on my page. HINONAMI doesn’t want you. Claro?
secs ago
Most people are not, in fact, offended by my reviews, and it is indeed only a vocal minority of edgy, rude children who object. But if you think you know a better way of reviewing, write your own reviews and show me how it’s done. If you can prove your way works better with actual evidence, I will consider changing my behavior.
9m ago
The only advice I can give you is to listen a bit more to the others’ bad mood towards you, since it’s an indication of something that doesn’t work in your reviews.
… But if you’ve never changed in eleven years, I doubt you do it because I ask you.
secs ago
And I do, *when it’s backed up by reasonable evidence*. Hint, hint.
Had to keep reminding them for a day before they actually blocked me. It’s really weird how so many people will block me without even responding but with others it’s like pulling teeth.
The day after this post aired, they decided to contact me again.

Subject: You are unloved here
Heya, diaper-boy how are you doing?
You know people in Pokémon fandom here are blocking you and your little wife Farla?
Sorry I think you should name yourself st elmo’s fire, since you have a hatred for capital letters.
Hope you won’t cry too much, but maybe your servants in your blog will dry your tears, you bimbo. Don’t cha think?
See ya never!

St Elmo’s Fire,
A new review has been posted to your story.

Oh bo-oh poor diaper-boy. Taste your medicine.
——————-
I sent them a guest review explaining that I can’t respond, so this is kind of pointless. I expected it to end there, but instead, they unblocked me…
You know, I think I will leave you unlocked, because at the end of the day the opinion of a nullity like you means nothing, or at most a laugh, dear elmo.
I’ve heard that you like to disgrace other users who are not paying you tribute. Poor soul… well, at most you always have your maids ready to support your divine nature.
You are a shame for this site, for young writers who try what must be a pastime, for those old who would only like to share passions. Instead, you destroy them with a cynicism that I have never really seen.
Now go and complain about me in your blog. And remember to change your diapers.
Have a nice day, loser.
[a cynicism that I have never really seen.]
Wow, you’re sheltered.
[I’ve heard that you like to disgrace other users who are not paying you tribute.]
Wait, that’s new. What are you talking about?
Dozens of other authors have been caught up in a conversation between you and Farla and who knows what other desperate, and have even complained that they have seen some of their friends bullied. Also I saw some pieces of your blog, I have been shown.
What do you think, to be credible? One who denies GameFreak’s own words?
I’ll give you some advice: let critics be done by suitable people, people able to use the right touch. You stay out, you’re not capable.
[Dozens of other authors have been caught up in a conversation between you and Farla and who knows what other desperate, and have even complained that they have seen some of their friends bullied.]
And do you have proof for any of this? If it’s a thread, give me the link. If it’s a blog post, give me the title.
Hell yes, pretty genius. Now let’s find some extract.
“This fucking asshole and her boyfriend St. Elmo’s Fire have cyberbullied me two years ago back in July 2016 when I had put my very first Pokemon story up called Megan Kendell In The World Of Pokemon. I had to delete my story and ban them forever.”
“Why don’t you stop cyberbullying people on this site fucking asshole who has no main purpose in life and leave here forever. All you do is tell the people that they can’t capitalize Pokemon names and tell them to lowercase them. Get a life and stop making people feel sad on here!”
But then comes this gem, by you:
“Nicer reviews do absolutely nothing.”
So you admit being an asshole?
Do you know what’s bad? That years ago you seemed to be reasonable, unlike the ‘nice’ Farla. Did she brainwash you?
For heaven’s sake, get rid of it.
And do you have any proof that those accusations are true? You haven’t even told me who sent those messages.The site was Farla’s NaReWriMo FAQ.Wow, this is a new level of ignoring context. That statement only appears in a post where Farla shows that the user was actually thinking of someone else. The user then apologizes and admits they were mistaken.
You do realize that just screaming you hate me is not going to change my mind, right? You need to use actual evidence.
I also remind you that you can bypass all of this by just making your own reviews. I won’t review as long as you are.
Oh, and don’t forget dragon-quill(dot)netPokeauthors Special Spotlight: Another Verse
“… You understand that you aren’t very loved on this site, and if I’ll try to think on and accept your criticism you will have to do the same and try to improve your ways, before starting with the story that ‘people are insensitive’.”
“Someone drinks Blaze’s Kool-Aid and decides people wanting to burn me at the stake is proof I deserve to be burned at the stake. They proceed to tell me to repent and mend my ways without actually telling me how, as per usual.”
You were talking about me. You’re really a poor chap, and I’m happy to spread messages against you on this site.
Most likely you need this because you value zero in life.
So you’re allowed to talk about me, but I’m not allowed to talk about you?Sure, but you do it HERE.
I, if you really want to know, I have not posted your conversations around the web. You’re a coward, as well as a shit.
You were also denying the evidence, asking me to ‘send me some evidence’. Aren’t you ashamed to be so disgusting?
Anyway, do the fuck you want. Nothing you are and nothing you will be. You broke many people’s balls and didn’t even ask yourselves a question, you and that bitchy Farla. Write on your blog, here you will always be detested.[You were also denying the evidence, asking me to ‘send me some evidence’.]
I’m sorry I don’t have a photographic memory. If you’re making an accusation against someone, it is on you to provide the data and evidence, not on them to look it up based on your slapdash submissions.
[I, if you really want to know, I have not posted your conversations around the web.]
I wouldn’t care if you did. I stand by everything I’ve said. You should really ask yourself why you’re so worried about people seeing exactly what you said.
So that’s still a no on the reviewing? I just want you to know that the next time I review, it will be your fault.
Then you’re really wormy in your brain. I’m telling you not to deny the evidence, since you copy and paste the authors’ discussions on your shitty blog.
I don’t care that people always agree with me, it only annoys me to see you scum ruin the experience of writers with criticisms that don’t mean anything, and above all going against what was said by the DEVELOPERS of the Pokémon games.
Keep with your work. Less and less people will leave you unlocked, my dear beggar.
[it only annoys me to see you scum ruin the experience of writers]
Clearly not enough for you to do anything to protect them. You’ve no right to claim the moral high ground here.
Oh, and you can?
Naturally! You are a god.
The god of idiots.And I think that’s a fitting place to end on. They blocked me again after this. We shall see if they appear again.
Fun fact the emails I use are from users on Discord.
They offered. Simply put we find this funny.
How interesting, then, that they are not posting here themselves.
Wait are you actually believing this? Discord doesn’t show users emails. You just walked into a prank.
woah dude sick burn
You really showed him now
I have no idea to be honest who I was ralking too.
×talking
Wait, what?
“Other users who are on Discord sent me emails.”
“Uh what?”
“LOL YOU FOOL DISCORD DOESN’T SHOW EMAILS HAHAHAHA PRANKED!!!!!!”
coaxed into a snafu
Just a friendly reminder to the trolls that if you post tons of messages from one IP using several clearly fake emails, you will end up in spam, because that is literally spam. If you can’t troll with enough effort to make it across our spam filter, you are a bad troll and you should feel bad.
Why do they trust someone who can’t even count to five and/or remember what they said half a line ago?
I also don’t get why I’m on this list, since I haven’t posted a review on ff.net in like a decade. Are people being warning that I’m on the blog I co-run?
Nah, it’s a lot simpler than that. Remember, they told The Reeds of Enki that nothing he said in his reviews was objectionable, the problem was he said it while not disavowing us and as long as that was true, they’d tell everyone he was a troll saying horrible things who should be blocked without contact. When I pointed out I wasn’t actually reviewing a while ago, they told me that didn’t matter, they’d do their best to bully me and tell everyone to shun me unless I agreed to join in on the bully-and-shun fest myself. They know your name, therefore they’ll tell people you’re currently stalking the category to murder innocent children until you agree to their demands.
That doesn’t explain how they don’t proofread their (I assume) copypasta warning.
I’m disappointed that I’m not on the list. I mean, I don’t review on FFN either, but I was on the list the last time around, and I’m feeling left out, damn it.
Bring pn your hate reveiws! I’mdrunk, I can take ’em!
My best hypothesis is, given it’s copypasta they’re so shit at editing they’ve gotten the number wrong more often than right, they have to see a new name right as they’re about to edit, otherwise they forget.
You have way too much patience with ignorant people, Elmo. That’s admirable, but aren’t you worried about burning out?
You’re welcome to take over if you’re worried! :D
But nah, I do take breaks. Responding doesn’t take much of my energy.
Sorry, not my fandom. :-)
HiroNami contacted me again today. I’ve appended the new conversation to the post.
I’m disappointed that I don’t get any credit despite also leaving reviews occasionally on the stories that Elmo notes as being readable. :(
They don’t have any actual opinion on reviews, given how nasty some of the ones they’ve left are. If you want in on those sweet, sweet hate reviews, you’d got to identify yourself as part of our cabal! You could try copying Enki’s preamble or reminding people about how capital letters work or just say HELLO I AM A MEMBER OF THE ST ELMO’S FIRE REVIEW COLLECTIVE
I think what really confused me is this near worship Word of God on gamefreak on the capitalization? Which feels so absurd, as if you’re breaking an oath or something for daring to imply that species name go lowercase.
The thing I find most bizarre is that they talk as if Game Freak did a press release on it or something.
Exactly!
And not even delving that out of universe they are capitalized because copyright but there is not in universe reason as to it’s capitalization. Even if they don’t agree, they can, just, keep doing it without doing a big fight defending gamefreak’s honor.
I’ve been looking at a few stories and I’m starting to see a strange trend in the review sections. Seems like the crusaders against you are now using the same copy&paste formula as you. Rather peculiar seeing it’s from two different users and the only difference is that one added a “k,” and a remark that the fandom is incredibly toxic.
I believe it was that fire4heaven and Blaze having the same review.
Yeah, the available evidence is that what seemed like a band of people united in their inability to type coherently is actually just one person wearing many typo-ridden hats.
