Me myself and I, I agree about avoiding anonymous criticism. I want my name on what I say.
But I don't think all the criticism on that site is linked or coming from the same vipers rehashing old feuds. I don't think they all arise from envy or ill-will toward the authors. I think taking the complaints about, say, Rory's ape-rape story as backhanded compliments would be delusional.
I have very similar views to those expressed on Rory, The Chaos Chronicles, Specter, and Kijikun-Ryenna. There are other authors' stories mentioned there that could, indeed, have been more tightly wrapped, though I don't think the writers should be ridden anywhere on a rail.
The site's a piss-pit. But not all the complaints about stories there are invalid.
