I find that you network better and learn more. Addtionally, reading work by the pros will teach you way more about how to write than reviewing the work of novices. Jeff,

And if you gaze long enough into an abyss of poor spelling, the abyss of poor spelling will gaze back into you." Jesus, I leave this thing alone for a couple of days, and I miss my opportunity to say,

It's mostly because I could never quite figure out what the point of it was. It was difficult to navigate around in and now I've found blogging to be more interesting. When I get to the point where I have some previously published works that I might want to post for free, I'll just develop my own website. I’m another writer who doesn’t much care for Writing.com.

Your replies were cool and concise, always the best way to go. I'm glad to see someone else pointed out the reader's liable vs. libel error--not that either was really applicable in this situation. Keep 'em coming, it makes for an interesting read. :) Congrats on stirring up the soup, Jordan. Your replies were cool and concise, always the best way to go.

I felt that it might provoke some discussion so I thought it would be better to put it in its own post. Sorry Steven,

I know the person who made the comment, and I don't think they're an idiot. They have strong beliefs which you and I don't agree with ;) I too am upset with all the misinformation out there. Readers will just have to learn to rely on infallible sources of wisdom... like this blog! Hi Ty,
