No. No. I'm not helping you down the soapbox. I enjoy it too much! I mean, most people disagree with everything I say, and then you come along and actually agree with a lot of my opinions. Or you post them first and I can't help but agree. So, no. I. Will. Not. Help. You. Down. The. Soapbox. And believe me, if I find a way to keep you up there, I will. :-)
I've had what I perceived as a seriously rude email from one of the admins originally, but as far as I know, she is no longer active. I find, in general, the archive has improved no end. Not only in terms of quality but also in terms of submission replies in terms of courtesy.
Which is exactly why I get so mad about reading reviews from non-authors (sockpuppets or not - who'd know anyways) who simply bash the writer.
But I strongly believe that new authors need to be encouraged because we desperately need them. People drop out, people burn out, people get written out. We need the new blood. Plus, we all started out once ourselves.
Yah. I totally agree. Which is why I posted my gripe in the first place, LOL. So many brilliant authors have not produced anything in two or three years. If we want to continue reading HG/SS fiction, then it really is in our interest to leave positive reviews for anyone who posts a promising fic.
And no, please don't get off the soapbox! It's valuable, ya know!
