You're a real Internet tough guy, hiding behind your anonymity without even an account to show for it and tearing down other people's work because they had the audacity to use their imagination. The author of this page didn't ask for your opinion. He didn't try and say his work is the next Nebula Award-winner. He simply had an idea, wrote about it, and posted it on this website, which is exactly what it's for. You? You don't even have the stones to write anything of your own, to even do more than post a drive-by one-line denigration of this person's efforts. And that makes you part of a growing horde of Internet scumbags who can't do anything but tear down what others do because he has no time, talent, or interest to do otherwise. I don't know what influence led you down this path, what led you to do nothing but belittle other people's works despite not having any ground to stand on. All I do know is that it shows you're the kind of classless person that nobody should emulate.

I'm one of the harshest critics on (also of) this website. I'm not making apologies for bad writing, poor storytelling, and all the rest of the flaws that this page and many others like it have. When I deliver a scathing review of someone else's work, it's usually because they asked for my input, or because their work has potential for so much more. Also, I've written enough that anyone can look at what I've done and either compare my level of writing to what I say, or at least acknowledge that there's some experience and understanding backing up my comments. When I criticize, I do it to help the author improve. When I look at a comment like "Terrible, not even Star Wars," I see that you're just being negative and destructive.

So if you want to man up, leave some real insight with your comments instead of just being a drive-by troll. Or write your own story and at least prove that you have a leg to stand on when you criticize someone else's work. And, if I can quote Wil Wheaton here, don't be a dick.
