[Quiet Man Cometh]

I didn't think I was being nasty, and if I came off that way it certainly wasn't intended, but I was being honest.

Some parting words since I'm assuming you'd rather not hear more from me on the topic of writing:

If one person's critique (or even a few) can make you lose the will to write, than perhaps you need to think again about why you are writing. I expect you are not writing for me, so to feel that worthlessness over what I said about your writing is giving me too much power.

This is not unique, I've encountered all of it myself. Everyone who writes has probably felt a punch in the gut from a comment or critique. It's also very easy online with now voice or face input, to imagine someone is being meaner than they are. It helps to keep that in mind, even if it really does feel like someone is being mean.
