sorry, cos its obviosu you put alot of time and effort into this but i absolutely hated the "story" report, i read the first report and just looked down at the result... seriously how could anyone enjoy this

youd be far better off just doing it normal style.... the osl final is not the time to experiment

Oh, well. I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if it's the wrong one.

Whatever yanks your chain. But I really suggest something more in synch with your natural ill humor. A mortician? An actuary perhaps? Anyway, I'll get back to you with a more comprehensive list of recommendations after I've done some research on professions for the mean-spirited.

again hilarious....

Not liking fan fiction doesnt make me mean-spirited.... Although im sure manifesto7 is deeply injured by my comments* he managed to reply in a responsible and mature way. Which is a whole lot better than responses that amount to "you are wrong for having an opinion" and "you are an asshole with a bad sense of humour", its bullshit like this that makes me very sympathetic to stimey's views on the pomposity and intolorence of some of the moderators of this forum.

*he obviously isnt because he replied to my post in a rational manner that reflected an understanding of the basis my opinion

I hated the report. That does not mean I hate the person that wrote it, does not mean I dont have respect for the effort and time he put into it, and does not mean it is not ok for other people to love it. It means I hated it. I also hate the Monet painting at our local musuem. That does not mean I hate Monet as a person, it does not mean I dont have respect for his status as a painter, and it does not mean I want to go on a crusade to stop other people from liking giant impressionistic waterlillies.
I would like to say I thought it was a good try, and obviously he worked hard on this. If I was a teacher he would get an "A" even if it did not suit my taste. If this was just a normal battle report and not an osl final it would have worked a lot better for me. It is kind of like turning on the super bowl only to find out they are going to experiment by having Sigfried and Roy doing the commentary. Even if they did a great job I probably would not like it.

I'll start off by reiterating my admission that, "maybe I interpret 'hate' more strongly than others."

To me, "hate" goes beyond "dislike", "not like", "did not suit my taste", "less than ideal", etc. Personally, I'd only use "hate" when something was very offensive to me, and I just don't see how a person could find this report in any way offensive, or anything close to it for that matter. I would also never say I "hated" something that I respected, but, again, that's just me.

Second, I made no reference to anyone's "hating" of the report as suggesting a personal hatred of Mani. I'm not sure why you felt the need to argue that point, but let's just leave it as us agreeing on it.
