Since someone has spoken up in support of this individual, I've decided to
throw in my two wheat pennies...

While I have disagreed with many of the comments that Mr. Smiles (or
whatever) has made, I think that he's entitled to his opinions.  He may
voice his ideas too strongly at times, but he has been generating a good
amount of C&C.  (Which is more than I can say for myself.)

If you happen to read this, Mr. Smiles, I offer this piece of advice: try
to make your comments sound more like _suggestions_ rather than 'this is
the way things are' dictator-like commands.  It's wonderful to have your
own preferences about writing style/characterization/what-have-you and
sharing your thoughts with others in hopes that they can improve their
writing is at the heart of good C&C.  But please keep in mind that not
everyone will agree with your views and that the tone of voice you use in
your comments will greatly affect whether people see you as a useful
source of criticism or ignore you as a 'troll.'
