I think he was complaining about your *WORD WRAP*! ^_^

That's the word I'm looking for!  I keep forgetting that some people use it
extensively...

        Well, well, aren't WE being friendly?  Nice to meet you, too!  How
about some critiques on exactly WHAT you don't like about my series, instead
of just abusing it in one sentence?  I will listen to ANY constructive
criticism, heck, I'll even take detailed FLAMES into account, but all things
like the above do is upset me.  Also, I resent having my story lumped
together with that of a plagiarist. 

Well, I didn't mean to lump you with anyone.

True, I may be guilty of bad jokes, and
a morbid sense of humour, BUT my ideas are my own, and very much so.
        You're free to your opinion, of course.  Writing such as mine is
obviously going to attract as many haters as fans.  HOWEVER, IF you are to
post your comments on it to the fanfic mailing list, I would prefer that
they actually take the form of CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, rather than general
hate-mail.
        Yours, and eagerly awaiting a public reply (and apology? o.O)

Hey man...I never abused your story at all!  I did read your story after 
all...have you forgotten my C&C on IRC?  I guess I needed to speak out 
after reading story after story while scrolling left and right(i hate 
web pages that do that as well!)  As for "hate-mail", well, as I look 
back, my language was very harsh, maybe I was a little fired 
up, but it was in no way intended to be hate-mail.  
All I said was that I "didn't want to !@#$ing read" a story with huge
line lengths because it was so inconvenient..no more, no less.
This is my entire standpoint...I hate long line lengths.  That's it.

However, I apologize for any feelings you may be wrongfully experiencing.

p.s. The reason I can't stand word wraps is that when different people
write different window sizes with word wraps, I usually end up getting
words thrown all over the page when I try to view them...people, please
make an effort to hit enter every so often or at least post your window
size in pixels ^_^.  Everyone posts their stuff mimed, so I gotta use
an external viewer...and notepad totally sucks, I'm not using WordPad
either(it's a terrible applet, doesn't even support drag and drop file
operations from long-file-named directories.)

p.p.s. why is it when i get on a subject i tend to "babble" about it
so much? ;>
