OJROMANCE Jesus Christ...what trend? Start what?
Let's see what happened. Gem4Life complained that you deleted her review.
I was like, um, okay, I haven't read the story so I'm going to reserve judgement, but from what you said, it certainly sounds disturbing.
You jump in and start pinging everyone and shoving your story down our throats. I'm like, okay. I'm going to be fair and give your story a chance, read it and see if it's as bad as Gem4Life made it out to be.
People were bashing your story. I explained that perhaps you were unfamiliar with the language and thus the flaws and bad writing could be explained by you not being a native speaker, and that certain choice of style, such as censoring specific words, could be attributed to you belonging to another culture. Thus I was arguing that people shouldn't be too harsh on you because you did your best under the circumstances.
Then you jump in here, start talking down to me in a condescending tone, and acting all arrogant.
Respect is reciprocal? You certainly didn't return any respect at all. Instead, you repaid my attempt to give you a fair chance with sarcasm, arrogance and condescension. And you want to talk to me about respect is reciprocal? Wow. Just...wow.
I'm going to wash my hands off this bloody affair. And you know what's the funniest thing? You're the one who came barging into this thread begging people to give you a chance and judge for themselves instead of going off Gem4Life's comments even though she did you the courtesy of not naming you. And when I tried to give you a fair chance, you spurned it. Okay, congratulations. Go celebrate your Trending, Ranking, Readers' Gifts, whatever. Why even bother trying to defend yourself and asking peope to check your story out if you're going to bash them in return?
