I've read some goddamn awful books that probably payed their authors VERY well. So now I'm going to critique you're writing on this site.

"You're, in my opinion an untruthful idiot James."

you need a comma after opinion for it to be a proper appositive phrase, and it's not wise to let that contraction stand alone. poor stylistic choice.

"If the argument put for continuing to use MF in the forum is pitched a certain way, that's how I tend to respond."

that's vague babble. Also the contraction "that's" is referencing a subject you never identified. Unless of course you're referring to your previous sentence that I already critiqued, in which case you STILL have to answer for the vague babble that is "a certain way." Of all the descriptions of this discussion, that was the blandest.

"Anyway, you've been of no help at all, so you've been told."

saying "so you'v'e been told" in reference to the phrase IMMEDIATELY PRIOR, is one of the most lazy fluffy lines I've ever read.

"This is all becoming rather meaningless."

Oh goodness it took over 230 replies to this thread for him to realize this. SOMEBODY GET THIS MAN AN AWARD!!!

"You expressed some opinions about writing, well why don't you go off and have a crack at it sunshine ?"

No, because I'm not like you: an egomaniac "motherfucker" who thinks adding in non-sequitur lines about some tangent that has at best a superficial bearing on the conversation. Evidence:

"Why is there so much hatred in our world, so much selfishness ? I'm far from perfect, I fail, I am rude to people for trivial reasons.
One of those clowns mentioned me crying. I have been. Another young person, a beautiful young woman, tortured by self doubts, driven by demons about self image, what is thought to be beautiful.. You can figure it out. I weep for her parents, her friends, and for her. In the midst of such prosperity, material wealth in relative global terms...There was also a tragic murder of a young woman at a local beach a few years ago. So the questions haunt me.. What are the really important things in life and why do we fail to understand their true importance ? What does it take to reawaken our awareness, as different individuals and collectively ? If I can find a way to get even a few people to ask themselves these questions."

Plus, "If I can find a way to get even a few people to ask themselves these questions." if a DEPENDENT CLAUSE. You should have said If *only* I *could*

And guess what? Why don't you try answering them before pondering on how feeble all these other people are, thinking they go through life with ZERO introspection??? How arrogant are you that you believe common folk don't have metaphysical quandaries they contemplate? Questions about the world they ask themselves? Until you can provide a better answer, this is still superficial bullshit: your speciality.

"Let's see who gets published and who sells most."

I really do hope you do well in life and make a lot of money off of your book and do well in life. I have already said this in this thread.

Just don't expect me to be one of your buyers
