Sir? I don't recall seeing you post anything prior to this, in terms of
C&C or story. While I can understand that not everyone is an aspiring
writer, taking five minutes to constructively criticize someone's work
only takes a knowledge of English, an opinion, and some time. Of course,
you may have responded privately, or you may have posted something along
these lines that I have forgotten, in which case the following doesn't
apply.
Now, Gary, Lurker, and others have actively contributed to the list in
terms of stories, C&C, and MSTs, and thus have every right to complain
about negative trends on the list.
Who are you?

The sardines weren't worth the trouble. A few more shots, then
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode. Ducking around a corner,
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of
my Anime supplier.
One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed. "Tell me."
I insisted. He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance. Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
