"...They say it's criticism, but I fail to see the "help" they're giving me; mainly it's saying "your story sucks ass", then trying to convince me that's helpful..."
-They are trying to help you out by pointing out some of the flaws in your work so that you can maybe improve them. Did I say that your story sucks? No, I did not.
"...I never intended for people to love everything I wrote, but for people to see the fact that war is hell..."
-I know that you never intended that, because that could quite possibly make you one of the most pretentious people in existence. And people don't come here to learn that war is hell, they come here for stories. Maybe that message could be explained through a story, but from what you are saying it sounds like you are trying to just show a message without a story.
"...If you don't have something nice to say, then don't post it on the thread..."
-You just said that you never intended for people to enjoy your work, and yet you think that if we don't like your work then we shouldn't say anything? That makes very little sense.
"...Random insults are for random G.E. wars and entertainment at Catherby, but not on a thread where they can always be seen..."
-I will make this as clear as possible: It is criticism, not a random insult. If somebody just comes in and says that your story sucks without anything to back up their argument, then that's a different thing. But criticism is to help you improve, which apparently is not one of your intentions.
