 I am NOT saying that anyone is posting stories full of cliché. What I
am saying is lets make fun of them.

    Excuse me, what is the point of making fun of someone for the TYPE of
story they write? Last I knew this mailing list was for discussion of
stories, not for hurtimg people. If you don't like that type of story,
fine, you're entitled to that. What isn't right is to potentially hurt
someone because of that.

    If by some chance you meant something other that what I've taken it to
mean I'm sorry for this message, it's inexcusable if so. If NOT, then I
can't see you as anything other than shallow.

I think he meant, let's make fun of that kind of story.  Let's parody
it.  Not, let's make fun of the people who write those types of stories.

Note to the Jusenkyo Guide:  Write more clearly next time.  ;)
