AH! Okay. So it doesn't actually matter what I say, you've decided that you know what I really, truly, actually, secretly meant, then. So glad that we've cleared that up. Why bother participating in a debate, when you can just ~know what I really meant to say?
And as an aside, let's all take a moment to savor the irony of being accused of being super judgy by someone who's pretty obviously judging me ("having a hard time believing").
Believe it if you like. Don't believe it if you like. Leave whatever kind of feedback makes you happy to whatever kind of stories make you happy. You don't get to dictate how that writer (any writer) will take the feedback, unfortunately, cause of that whole "we don't control oter people" thing. Just like they don't get to dictate anything to you about how you should give them feedback--if you give anything at all. We're all our own person, we all have our own ways and goals and feelings and thresholds and preferences and lives.
And since apparently taking the time and effort to clarify what I, you know, ACTUALLY SAID AND MEANT doesn't really count for much, I'm leaving it at that.
