"Most of us are between the ages of 8 and 18..."

This is completely untrue. You're not allowed on this wiki unless you're thirteen or above, and by that age you should be aware that criticism - although it may seem harsh - is to help you improve. The CP wiki is not purely a place to show off your mad writing skills, but also a place of improvement, which it would sadly appear you have yet to learn.

You ranted on about how great of a writer you were, rather than taking people's honest advice to heart and become a better author. Regardless of how many times people have tried to help you, you continue to state that you're in fact a brilliant writer, who participated in a 40.000 word contest and was praised by her English teacher. You keep defending the same mistake, and defending a mistake is a mistake in itself. You don't seem interested in becoming a better writer, but merely getting praise, and that must be why you've decided to go to that other wiki, where they're more lenient. Anything to escape the possibility of improving, right?

Also, I'm not doting on the CP-land community, as it's good that there's a place where authors who just want to paste their stuff and receive 100% blind praise can do so. My only problem is that drawing focus away from the negative aspects of a story and only focus on the positive aspects is like screwing over the author.

When you reward mediocrity, you get more of the same. It's called "reinforcement"; if people's subpar performances are praised, they'll see no incentive to improve.

Look, I realize you have a genuine concern for our community, and I thank you for that, but your concern is entirely misplaced. It's equivalent to telling a book publisher they're losing great stories by not publishing the scribblings someone did on their bathroom wall with their own feces.

Anyone (13+) is allowed to post a story on here, if they bother to write it properly. Once again, it's when people refuse to learn that they end up getting pissed and turning their backs on this wiki. If you ever decide to post something on this particular wiki again, I would be glad to take a look at it, and offer you some honest critique.

Anyway, I don't want this to turn into a lengthy discussion, so this will be my last reply. You can have the last word, since it's your blog post.
