Got into an argument once on Twitter. Guy had no way to refute anything I said. I just got tired and said whatever. He sent me this picture. Pissed me off so much it turned into hours of pointless arguing.
I deleted Twitter shortly after. Kept the picture, though. Finally, finally, I’m able to use it somewhere.

That's kind of reckless and bold, but still... you can't just expose yourself in such an obvious way people can see. This is one one-tracked mind troll

No, he wasn't. He was actually a nice guy when I asked him and increased the rating to 3 as he used 1 stars just to mark stories he dropped.

Oh, I see. That's one way to mark stories

I have yet to get a single 1-star-rating. I almost feel left out because of that.
Guess I will have to grow bigger to get recognized.

I personally don't believe in rating something a 1-star unless it is absolutely abysmal. Like hardly any effort put into it, no editing pass and nonsensical. But just because a story isn't my cup of tea doesn't mean it is terrible. But some people do like to give a 1 or 5 with no in between.
I find that this site is a lot nicer with ratings and comments so far compared to others I've been on.
I do notice that writers on trending sometimes get hit pretty fast with some 1-stars, but I guess that comes with more exposure. I've been on trending on this site and one other, and I can say that this one was much kinder to me compared to the other one. The constructive criticism over here as a whole also feels better. Much more tact and consideration from the readers so far.
I am actually really enjoying this site a lot. I don't have many ratings, but most of them I seem to have received when the story was well on its way. Of course, there are some people who will blindly give a 1-star or a 5-star after the first chapter. Just how it is.
Yeah, I just ignore trolls at this point. I have yet to find someone who was genuinely mean. If that ends up happening, I guess best thing to do is report it.
Don't be mean to catgirls!

The trolls tend to hide from me, but when I see one . . .
"What a cute little troll you are. Yes, you are! Yes you are! Who's a cute troll? You're a cute troll! Would you like a snack?"

Thank you so much!
I salute honest people like you. I'd received 'revenge 1 stars' before, and if it happens a lot then it can get a bit scary.

I can't imagine myself revenge-rating something 1 star because it doesn't update enough. If I try to imagine myself giving a 1* out of spite, it's probably because I just don't like the genre or how a person writes.

Don't discuss the difference between 1 star trolls and 5 star trolls too much or Discount_Blade is going to come terminate us.

Oh man I made this argument and people were livid. If you complain about unjustified one-stars, then I want to see people whining when someone has too many undeserved 5 stars. Cuz I'mma be honest, some of the people I've seen make threads about 1-stars, to me were shit writers. And I don't mean genre-wise, I mean they were a mess in skill with what I read. They had mostly 5-star ratings and they didn't deserve them any more than Tokyo deserves to get wrecked by Godzilla every time he shows up.
1 star is for just terrible. It's so bad that the only improvement possible is to delete the sorry excuse for prose. 5-stars is for the best of the best.
But lo and behold...not a word is ever said until someone gets a 1-star. Just seems like spoiled rotten entitlement to me. You can't win this 1-star argument. Only tolerate the stupidity of it.

I swear I didn't even know you had commented this and I still magically found myself here. Crazy.
