Okay...I'm going to sound like a complete dick when I say this, and I really do apologize in advance, but this is all for your own good, and someone has to say it anyways:

Quit being over-dramatic (that's the nicest way I can put it).

So somebody critiqued your work. Harshly. This is how things are supposed to work. From what I gather on that site, and according to McJeff, they take their writing very seriously, so one of their ways to try to improve their work is to speak frank with no holding back if they want it to, or just being the devil's advocate in some cases to push your creativity further. They have standards. Now I agree it wouldn't hurt to be a little considerate, but I honestly don't see how she was being flat out rude.

But here's another thing you have to realize: It is what it is...an opinion. You just take it for what you will. If you want to keep writing your stories how you want to, then go ahead. But you have to be ready to accept that not everyone will like your work. The sooner you realize this, the less upset you'll be. However, if you do want to improve your work, then no matter how harsh a reviewer is (unless they flat-out insult you, or don't tell you what needs fixing), you have to take their criticisms seriously instead of flipping out immaturely and using excessive profanity. If you think this is bad...good luck in art school. Fashion Design, Graphic Design, Game Design, etc....they'll gladly tear you apart.

Long story short, seeing you throw this temper tantrum proves you're just writing for fun and don't take your stories too seriously. As such, I would avoid that site, you're just not cut out for it. However, I'd assume you went there because you feel your stories aren't getting enough comments (according to your previous blog). Note that I hardly get any comments at all. My blogs are some of the most ignored on this site. However, I'm not complaining.
