[quote=@Roach] I don’t think this is the ‘gotcha’ you think it is. I’m calling a spade a spade – in my subjective opinion, of course. [/quote] It's called projection. ^-^' [quote=@Roach] Critique also doesn't have to be presented in the most ruthless, more brutal than honest way. [/quote] I don't think my reviewing style is particularly brutal or ruthless. But you can dislike it. Calling me an asshole for doing it, isn't anything but being one yourself. [quote=@Roach] I don't think you understand that. Rewriting is not [i]advice[/i]. It is pretending to be advice. [/quote] Ironically cutting through the filler. No, that's you perverting my intentions. Whether intentionally or not. It's meant to be advice. It's not "pretending" to be anything else. You just don't like it. I don't think you understand. Or at least, you're pretending not to. [quote=@Roach] Again, you can be specific [b]without[/b] rewriting. You can point out errors, you can give example sentences, you can move around clauses to show what is grammatically correct or not. [/quote] You can. But it doesn't mean you always should. Because I hate to tell you, all I did in mine was give examples. Moving clauses IS changing/restructuring someone's original work. [quote=@Roach] Here's a thread of people disagreeing with your methods. [/quote] Ah yes, the best example of obvious cases of two people who took something personally and spewed a bunch of ad-homs at me. Also, some of those very people told me how great my reviews were, and how my posts belonged on R/MurderedByWords. So I don't really see that as point in your favor. But one in mine. And again I ask, if this wasn't being made personal, how else would doing this be considered relevant? [quote=@Roach] Hopefully this clears up some misconceptions you may have had about my arguments and views on constructive criticism and why literally rewriting parts of a work would not constitute as that. [/quote] You and others don't like it. And will name call critics. Plenty of others did and do, which is why I will continue. Glad we cleared that up in the most mature and non-aggressive way possible.
