User blog comment:EtherBot/Let's Talk Deletion!!!/@comment-24101790-20170210025912/@comment-25458443-20170210041921

 "So why didn't you use them? Seriously? Why, the fuck not? What did you have to lose in the first place, beyond you pride, (considering your stories, I really wouldn't consider this too much of a sticking point.) Remember that all someone needs to poke holes in your reasoning is look at your talk page... In the end, all I can see is someone saying, 'what you're saying is that these system were available, but the authors did nothing with them...? And why exactly would they think their stories would be appealing given they made no efforts to revise them or improve them?' I'll let you think on those questions while reviewing the number of stories other admins have previously deleted of yours" 

Honestly this sort of feels kind of like more of a personal attack than about the larger deletion process but I get what you mean(?)

Personally when  I  am working on an actual PASTA PASTA with a story I do use these resources but this isn't so much about my pasta's deletions as it is about my general vibe about this site. Obviously when talking about how it feels to write on this site I'll use some  anecdotal stuff (Since I do write on this site) but those were meant more as asides than as intregal to my larger point...
