Yes, I am a veteran of 40 years of being in a very unforgiving industry and thus take this in stride, but it would potentially be damaging to a writer with only one or two books out. It's hard to build up the necessary scar tissue.

Muted and blocked. Assholes not needed.

Yeah I might also be a bit sensitive as a newbie writer who has received some pretty harsh criticism (which I asked for, and ultimately I grew from it, but it still feels bad, man)

All I can say is as a cinemaphile, Judas Kiss, The Dark Place, and Something Like Summer all sucked huge ass Just a random observation on the internet

The scar tissue should not be so damn necessary

I think this website’s about to get a lot quieter for David

❤️

At least he admits he's an asshole. Not that he needed to say it after all that.

Game developers get this all the time too. Its pretty awful.... usually comes packaged with a weird dose of self-entitlement and idea that they own your fictional worlds and you are just their caretaker..

David was an easy block.

Every once in a while we are reminded that some goobers still think it's productive to deliver "critique" directly to the author. Why? What's the point? Even if the critique is correct, no one who might benefit will see it now.
