Okay, I'm not exactly a spelling or grammer checke.  Hell I can't even 
think of the right words most of the time.  So I'm not gonna do that.  
I'm going to tell you my interpretation of your fic.

First, I understand the point you're trying to get across.  You aren't a 
big Ryoga fan.  Me neither.  In fact, except for Akane he's my least 
favorite character in the series.  But... I still try to be fair.  You 
weren't.

Second, Nabiki doesn't talk like this.  And Kasumi didn't even raise her 
voice when she was possessed by an ogre.  At least, I think it was an 
ogre.  So I am left to conclude that this is some unknown Tendo sister 
that Soun abandoned for some odd reason.  Which, in a way, would help 
the fic make sense since she wouldn't know Ryoga as well as the rest of 
them and would simply assume these things that she says.

Third, I'm fairly certain which Ryoga is being spoken to here.  Because 
I know of four different Ryogas:

1)  Manga Ryoga.
2)  Anime Ryoga.
3)  Fanfic Canon Ryoga #1  Man among men, paragon of honor.  Or, as Mary 
Poppins would say, "Practically Perfect in Every Way."  Gets lost and 
finds himself in Juuban, Northern Kyushu, or some other random place in 
the wilds of Japan.
4)  Fanfic Canon Ryoga #2  Demon made flesh.  Blames everything on 
Ranma.  Uses P-chan form to seduce Akane.  Gets lost and finds himself 
on Arakis, in Tokyo-3 or in Ancient Greece.

I am assuming you are using Ryoga number 4 for the fanfic.
Even though this was more a speech that could be included in a future 
Ryoga-bashing fic.

This, while entertaining to (I speak for myself here) other people who 
are not big fans of he who wears the bandanna, was not up to your usual 
standard.  I hope to see more fics from you in the future, but please 
try and vent anger at a certain character more gradually into longer 
fics (Like me with Akane). Doing this only opens the fire-gates.
