“As I am not a professional I will ask you to keep in mind that I am learning by doing this. So although your feedback made some points which I could learn about.. the way in which you said it wasn’t nice or encouraging.“

“So just because most things arent capitalized means it cant be read? Thats really stupid. Its basically saying how you cant read texting bc nothing is capitalized or something. But fine ill just capitalize all of that if people cant read one name or something not capitalize!!!”

Korrasami 88 continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. Other people are generally polite.

“On a side note, the first paragraph of your review does seem to be rather familiar, though I must certainly be mistaken on such observations since you are *clearly* a person of such detail and would never think to lead anyone to believe that any form of plagiarism is to be seen within your reviews.”

“About the Pokemon names being capital, they are being treated as pronouns for the story, not for grammatical sake.”

It’s time for replies! For anyone new, these posts are 50% about wallowing in the most ridiculous things people say and 50% about letting sane people say their piece. Once, in the beforetimes, they were almost entirely screaming madness, but those days have passed. (more…)
