I hate to have to do this on an author's review page but what I've read on it has really bothered me.

Grammar Police, I don't want you to feel attacked here, but I think the way you phrased your comments was disrespectful and not at all constructive criticism. I felt that the phrasing and the use of exclamation marks stressing your point came off as sarcastic, condescending and rude.

Secondly I think that despite your argument to the contrary, your original review did criticize the author's beta readers. "Five people read this and not a single one spotted that! Good job!" I would love to know how else this could be perceived as to me it seems like a clear dig at everyone who read the chapter and approved it.

I would also like to point out that just because people are responding the way they are under aliases does not mean it is the author. She has responded to your review and made her point. I don't think she needs to pretend to be a variety of anonymous characters just to get back at you. It's unnecessary and the fact that you review anonymously should say something about throwing stones.

Okay, this was a long review that had nothing to do with the chapter but I felt the need to express an opinion since I am not used to seeing this sort of thing and it annoys me that this carry on happens in an environment that should be creative and fun.

Wolf out.

Author's Response: I don\'t know how to respond to this. Go wolf. How\'s that?
