I think in a lot of cases the critics don't even read the material. I know when I was attacked I was told I was just spouting off run of the mill Shenny stuff. Then I killed Sheldon and that seemed to shut them up. But what irks me is when they pick on new writers who might not have the confidence in their writing. I know when I wrote my first story it was kinda rough in the early days having next to no reviews so I don't know how I would have reacted if the reviews I did get were so soul-sucking negative, particularly what I've seen writers put up with over the last year and a half. Really ticks me seeing the just-being-a-douche negative reviews.
Let's go exploring!
