What was not better though was the way you handled Diablo's comment. If you can't take trash, don't post anything. YOu will get bad responses though his hardly compares to anything bad. He had a mild comment, hardly anything at all, but you just when all psycho on his ass... Diablo is one of the better reviewrs here, so get over it.

My last comment might have broken something. The site froze up while I was submitting. Louis has been emailed about it.

The plot seemed kinda broken. I was lost as to where they were when the first battle broke out and what the terrain looked like. I want to give some great advice I was given years ago when I first started writing. You have to remeber that us as human being have five senses; touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight. When writing, sight is usually the most important of all the senses. It builds the foundation of all the other senses. The hardest (at least for me) to incorporate when be taste. Not alot of taste senses in war stories except that of blood and MREs (ewww....). Describing a scene in all five senses paints a most vivid picture for the reader, and makes the writer look like a genius. Keep things like that in mind. That and I think the grammar thing got me off a little. Broken sentences and incomplete thoughts. I don't mean to be really critical. I'm trying to give a fellow author some observations about his work to make him a better writer. I hope you would do the same for me.

halofanman, diablo is actually one of the better if not one of the best writers here. So if his comment doesn't help much, sorry.
We were trying to figure out how your comment section got broken. There was a really awful comment from an Anonymous poster that I was trying to write a response to when your comment section got truncated.
I was saying that Anonymous lacked refinement and common courtesy in his comment.
The messed up comment section distracted us a bit.
Anyway, Louis will fix up my truncated comment, who knows if the other comments will come back?

Hey hfm, it is probably best that you ignore really awful comments. Writingis a hit or miss thing and you can't always please everyone all the time.I've gotten bad comments on some of my posts too.
Still, there is some value in even bad comments like notes about improvingyour grammar and formatting.
What I'm saying is that some comments can lack a certain tact and commoncourtesy. They go for the real world shock value and that can really hurtpeople's feelings, especially new writers.
As Friedrich Nietzsche said, "Out of life's school of war: What does notdestroy me, makes me stronger."
Anyway, good comments usually say something good about your writing alongwith well thoughtout criticisms. Good comments don't just dwell on the bad.
