Yeah, that's kind of the issue here. Everything is a debate with you. You're so averse to criticism you didn't even realize when someone was complimenting you.

I have completely accepted that "The Wake Up Game" and "A Stupid Chain Letter" were below the QS, and since they are not micropastas anyway there's no need to discuss them.

However your criticisms for mytop 3 micropastas were illegitimate. You said that I Slit My Own Throat Once should be deleted because it was built *almost* entirely on shock value. I think it's amazing that such a short story can have even more to it than simple shock value, but even if it didn't, there's nothing wrong with that. People are interested, and often creeped out, by shocking things. This story is no exception.

Your criticism on "My Grotesque Nightmare" is by far the most obvious proof that you didn't have legitimate reasoning. In your criticism you clearly stated "Yeah, I get it. He's immortal or whatever." when the story has NOTHING to do with immortality, in fact, it's the literally the opposite. It prays on one's fear of aging.

Unless the person you were describing is over 140 years old, it's hard not to infer you're describing immortality.

As for the second half of your message here, the last sentence of your paragraph basically says "If you don't share my opinion, you're not in your right mind."

I don't need to explain what's wrong with that way of thinking.

That's not what I'm saying at all. The point is saying "Well that's subjective" when someone's trying to give you literary criticism is fucking retarded. Of course it's subjective. But we have a set of standards here that all stories must adhere to. You might disagree with them, but that isn't our problem. If you don't like these standards there's always deviantART, which has a complete lack of standards. And God, it really shows.
