| Re: Sorry... | |

In Response To: Re: Sorry... (paulmarv) : The most relevant information in my first post here as it pertains to your : comment is found in the paragraph that begins with "Alright, now I : can get onto the meat of the issue here" (4th paragraph) : That cuts it in half for you. You did sort of take a dig at me, which I don't : really mind, but I think you should at least hear what I have to say about : the accusation (which very well may have been in good and truthful taste - : I keep an open mind) I did actually read it, but it was painful to do so as you 'responded' to most of the folks in one big paragraph...a big no no. Keep in mind that text walls are very rarely read by most people, espeically on the net. It is one of the reasons I didn't even bother reading your article on B.net: text walls everywhere. Text walls are bad in any written medium. The another reason I didn't read the article I eluded to in my first response in this thread: the language you used came off a lot like the legalize lawyers and politicans use. Which means the common folk, like me, end up getting headaches just trying to understand it, and ultimately give up trying. As some said on B.net, the way that was written seemed like you intended it for a group of scholars and lawyers, not regular everyday folk. If the everyday folk was your intended audience, you went about it the wrong way with your choice of writing style. As an aspiring writer myself, I know that you have to keep in mind your target audience when deciding how to write your prose. If you write a story targeted at a bunch of five year olds in collage level language, you are going to get a bunch of blank looks and audience looking for something else to do, which means your efforts were pretty much wasted.
