I slightly disagree. He didn't call what you were writing as BS he simply said that General Discussion is not a license to put up any BS.

My understanding of this would be used in the general sense like when I refer to someones stuff as S*it. I am not saying that their stuff is in fact a pile of dung, it is merely a colorful adjective to describe a pile general things.

I think you blew it a little out of proportion. I think the BS comment was a little bit of his humor.

But then again, I am not him and I can not speak for him. . . maybe he thinks your writing is BS. I just didn't take his statement to mean that.

Words such as ----> BS<----- is tantamount to calling me a liar that is negative at best.

I go on offense when I am personally attacked for "sharing
my true life mixed with my own brand of odd ball humor,.

Again I got no problem with anyone who says " it sucks", or "that was a crap story" , but when you say " I" suck and "I" am full of crap , I didn't ask for that I asked for opinions on my writing style.

Ya I can take the heat and I will stay in the kitchen:)

I am not doing anything destructive or negative, thus when a negative personal attack pops up about me personally I bring out the hammer:cool:.

Perhaps I am being overly sensitive & I have do some introspection.;)

In fact, your 'stories' violate the Forum Guidelines. 'General Discussion' does NOT mean post any BS you desire.
Something like that.

MY REPLY: ;). thanks for taking part, in my informal poll.

Question: Do all you guys with the Yellow "Don't Tread On Me" flag belong to an organized group or loose association , or do you just like the history and what it represents and kind of take it on as your flag ?

There are several online forums which have sections for fiction writing. To my knowledge this particular (OC.org) doesn't have such a section.

Check out AR15.com/outdoors/esential survival guides and fiction. (Quick link: http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=10&f=20)

This section of the forum is a place where writters, such as yourself can go to "publish" your works and get the feedback you mentioned you are not getting here.

If I may use an analogy; you're going to a doctor's office to get legal advice. Both are professionals; but with different specalities. Check out the link above. You'll find peers there who will be all to happy to read and review your works.

One thing, my stories are not fiction, they are mix of fiction & real life self defense.

Thank You for the suggestion.
