(...) Wow! I am SO against this move I almost don't have words to describe how I feel. I haven't read the material under discussion (i.e. "The Wanderer"), nor have a seen enough of Bryan's negative posts to be pointedly annoyed with him -- but I DO (...)

This really applies to everyone.... What *good* does it do anybody to even post a negative reply to anything? Sure, you're entitled to your opinion, but sometimes your opinion is better kept quiet. Why not go tell your friend that they are ugly, or (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle.ninja)

I snipped most of Kyle's post because I agree with all of it... (...) None. Note however that a polite constructive criticism is a useful thing, and should not be confused (IMHO) with a "negative reply". Not that Kyle is saying it is but I would (...)

(...) Well said. See also Larry's reply - I agree with his post as well. ... Sure, we all like to hear good things about our work. It makes us feel good, and prompts us to make more. But a coin with only one side isn't much of a coin. Pointing out (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle.ninja)

(...) I should specify that by "negative" I mean negative "sounding" or a negative "tone". In my book, constructive criticism *is* a postive reply. Throwing out every available cuss word and insult, is a negative reply. I'm just not using the word (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle.ninja)

(...) I see very little in the way of Bryan trying to make "coherent criticisms." Most of his post bashes the story and insults the writer. That is NOT the way to conduct oneself, here or anywhere else. (...) But being none-organized group does not (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle.ninja)
