Not really. I just said it to lengthen the post a bit *snicker*
Sloppiness. ...
Heavens, yeah. I remember! I had a few of those, thankfully not many. I've had to cut down, too. No use feeling that someone is taking the piss out of my precious time. I live to serve, but I don't take kindly to being used in such a blatant manner.
Ego. ...
Bahaha indeed! You must have been talking to me! *falls over laughing* No, seriously, some ego is normal for this density. But inflated, or worse, overinflated? Not so good and certainly not normal.
Rec List. ... Digest ...
I left several quite a few months ago after realising that all they did was clog up my flist, and I simply didn't have the time to follow any of them. Personally, I would like to see some more honesty on them. Like, if they said they're biassed bitches who need an outlet to tell the world what they think is worth reading, I'd probably be more interested than when they claim to be unbiased and going by quality. Sort of like the government telling me what's good for me, claiming that I don't know what's good for me so they have to tell me. *snrk* Yeah, I was curious at the time about why something is recced and something else isn't. It was quite enlightening, even if I didn't see it at the time.
Politics. ...
*Snerk* Let's not even go there, eh?
As far as poorly written stories, ...
One of the many reasons I love you is that we disagree on lots of things, and yet it never gets personal. You are more cheese-tolerant than I am, I know. :))
Things will never change until readers wise up.
Very true. Of course, that's where the 'it's for free' comes in. Readers seem to be grateful they get to read stuff for free, and it makes them more tolerant maybe. On the other hand, some authors take for granted that the admins do their job properly day in, day out, disregarding the fact that we also do this for free. I think there's something missing in that picture... :)
