I'm fine with constructive criticism, but it wasnt constructive criticism...at all.

"Off to a great start.............................Doc" - How is it constructive to immediately say that the first part written by someone else was good, but the first part written by the person who wanted to be the writer isnt.

"It sucks" - How is that constructive?

"Um.....weak" followed by "Ditto" - How is that constructive? It's just flaming.

Finally a picture of someone asleep insinuating its really boring, which is then bravo'ed. Thats not constructive. At all.

How about instead of just flaming, or saying how much you dont like it, you offer actual constructive criticism.

If this was just another random annoying new member who was just posting some incoherent pile of wank, then yes, flame away (I'd be the first to if I could), but when its a 13 year old trying to write fiction, who is a regular on the forum and all he gets is stupid comments its just out of order.

I doubt any of you will agree with me (no doubt you'll say things like "we were just joking" and "lighten up") and I'll probably just get flamed back, but I'm an adult. Ganging up on a kid is different. Bad form.
