Okay. There is a difference between creative criticism and this. So, when
you decide to write a fanfic, will you like it when somethig like this is
said to you? Saying it wasn't to your taste is one thing, something like
this should be followed by an apology to the author for your glaring
oversight at politeness. This is the reason some folks won't pot their
stories: fear that someone will say this. That was extremely uncalled for.

Yes! Yes! Yes!  I apologise!  Whole-heartedly!  I'm sorry!  I desserve to 
have all my fanfics severly abased and get "bapped" a thousand times and 
then thrown into a pit of rabid wombats!

I think I'll go splash myself repeatedly with freezing cold water now...
