A story I commented on.  I was civil as possible when I pointed out what I felt was  a legitimate flaw in the premise.

The email a week later...

"While the story is nice enough, the premise has serious flaws.  Why would Usagi not use the Silver Crystal to heal herself? Wouldn't Pluto interfere to keep the timeline intact? Those two questions came to mind as I read this, and more thought would likely turn up more. Considering the Crystal is capable of healing an entire planet from a icy sleep, reviving the dead and so on, I can't buy that Usagi wouldn't just transform, go Princess Serenity and cure herself.  It doesn't play."

This is answered in the second chapter of the story, when Ami makes a very interesting discovery. IF USAGI TRIES TO HEAL HERSELF WITH THE GINZUISHOU, SHE WILL DIE FASTER BECAUSE IT WAS A MICROBE FLOATING IN SPACE THAT INFECTED HER DURING THE BATTLE WITH GALAXIA AND IT CANNOT BE HEALED BY MAGIC!!!!!!!!

There, your "question" is answered. And try not to irritate me when I'm sick and depressed, which I happen to be at the moment. Thank you. Goodbye.

-_- Why do I even bother trying to be nice there anymore?

Well, perhaps I should have just let it lie, but I did respond today.

Uh huh.  

Tell me, are you familiar with the word 'contrivence'? Sure, it's possible that she picked up some microbe that is super powered enough to thwart a nearly unlimited source of raw power.  It's also possible I'll spourt wings from my ass and fly to the moon.  Either case could happen, but very likely won't. Do you really expect an intelligent reader to buy such a weak, unlikely plot device?

As lacking as your 'answer' was, this disturbs me far more. I'm saddened by an author who cannot reply to a fair and polite commentary on her own story. I did not make any motion to flame you, I merely pointed out what I feel is a deep flaw in your premise.  If this is how you react to comments, I truly pity you.  You have some measure of talent in writing, but if you cannot accept feedback, you'll be another wasted talent.

It's a shame.

Round two of ffnet takes a dump on me...

I dropped a short and polite review here, albiet negative if you consider pointing out flaws in the story to be 'negative'.

The email response six fucking months later...(Formatting is the same as from the email, sadly, down to the color)

okie i read your reveiw of my story
1st off who the hell do you think you are my english teacher english is my second laugue and every one says im doinmg very good in such little time so you need to fuck off
second off when you said many other people have wrote about the same thing well i really dont care becasue ill write whatever the fuck  i want so shut the hell up


At first, I had no idea what the hell this email was about.  The address rang a vague bell, so I ran though my posted reviews and found the matching story.  Once I finished laughing at the moron, I rebutted.

I'm sorry, but your email has been rejected on the grounds that it is a travesty of the English language. Please have someone who understands English properly type for you, as you have shown that your capacity for English is on the level of a drooling mongoloid.

My question is why do the idiots wait this long to send me a crappy flame? Shit, you could at least be punctually pathetic.

Because they don't check their own stories but once every six months.

They can't stand their own stupid any more than that.
