Don't put words in people's mouths or assume they said what they didn't.

I made threads before about ways that I believe people should write. Like writing to entertain, but in those threads, people will make a ghost to argue with. "Are you saying we can't write for ourselves?"

No, you little ####. I will ####### destroy you and your entire lineage.

Also, I know some of them aren't actually dumb. Some are just trolls, and they say not to feed trolls. But I have some leftovers, and I am shoving them down your throat.

I missed trolls. They are funny. There are more scam bots than trolls these days.
That's such a thoughtful and interesting response. I liked the part where you spoke of longing for past times. It made my clanker brain put on my rosey glasses. While we're at it, would you like to buy rosey glasses artwork for 700 dollars?
I wish I could tape this on my wall it's so true

I have no idea what happen.

But I don't believe the sentence "even a bad engagement can be a good engagement, because it is at least an engagement."

Also, this is very youtuber-esque statement.

Agree...

Also me:

Just remember, if you make me argue with you online for being a midwit, I'll bring the ass-kicking with me.

Well, you should define the focus of your discussion. Readers can interpret it differently if your writing is general. I misunderstood this too.

If you limit your focus from the start to just tips for writing fiction that "entertain" readers, then readers won't bother asking me if I write fiction for myself.

That's why a problem statement is important, even if we're not writing a scientific article.

No, doing that doesn't work either. I used to do that, but people TLDR.

I think your opinion is debatable... I always start the discussion on my thread with the problem statement and the audience knows what the relevant answer is based on the question and it's often not boring.

See even now you start debating instead of understanding or trying to understand. This is my problem. People don't see something and ask, "how can I understand this?" They see it and think, "how can I prove this wrong?" Either that, or their kneejerk defensive reaction makes them rush to say something the OP is not even saying.
They were just looking for an excuse to bully the bat
I always take these stupid baits because I am too autistic not to. :blob_catflip:
