[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ritten: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartman: [qb] To be blunt, if this "longtime member" doesn't even have the guts to name these people in Flare's supposed newbie-deathsquad or come forward himself with concrete examples of true unjustified bullying towards new members [/qb][/QUOTE]Well, while we are bring this up again, I bet several of us can look in the mirror and say, 'Tis me. I will use Robert's post again as an example, I didn't suggest to him to make a different post giving us a partial chapter to review, I just said the post was crap. I've emailed him since and corrected myself, and made a few suggestions to him on dealing with forums. As a scifi writer you would think that we could have welcomed him differently, we may well have appreciate his views on things. Alas, we stomped down on him for spamming without correcting him. We are far too quick to judge without looking in to the person or work. Did you know that he had gotten bad info on how to promote his book, that has a portion going to charity, from some other new authors? No, I didn't either till I checked in to it. So, you want the guilty parties, look at that thread. If my almost 6 years isn't a longtime member then I am wrong, if it is then I am as guilty as everyone else in that thread for not making a corrective action, instead dismissing it as crap. Of course, we also shock people like Irishman there, which doesn't make up for our shoot first attitude, but may help. [/QB][/QUOTE]
