Learn to Read
Around a year ago I got into an argument with another user here on Wattpad, who I will dub Kylie (for special reasons! ;D). This encounter nearly turned me away from Wattpad; I left for months because I was so frustrated with the situation.
Anyway...everything started in one of those threads where you post your first sentence and then the next person gives you their opinion on it and rates it or says whether they would want to read more or whatever.
So, you know, I go there and notice that some people had just been posting their sentences without commenting on other people's sentences so I went back a ways, knowing that someone had obviously been skipped, and that's how I found Kylie. I gave my opinion on her sentence in addition to the last person who had posted. I went out of my way to comment on her sentence because I felt bad that she had been skipped.
Worst. Mistake. Ever.
This was her sentence: "Time; the very fabric of numbers that sets us apart and the very thread that weaves the universe together in an intricate pattern, yet remotely sets us apart in the end." (Although, in actuality, this was NOT the first sentence of her story; it was like the first three or so sentences of her SUMMARY smooshed together...)
And this was my comment on it: "It's interesting but not very captivating. Basically, all you're doing is talking about time, which doesn't tell me anything about the story or create any sort of mystery or bring up any questions that will make a reader want to keep reading. Obviously, this can't always be accomplished in the first sentence, but...just a thought. I do like the way you describe time, though--however, you repeat 'sets us apart.'"
So...as you can see, my opinion was basically that I didn't find it very captivating but that I thought her descriptions were good.
Kylie then proceeded to tell me how very wrong I was and then started twisting what I was saying and THEN tried to take what I said about her sentence and apply it to MY sentence, which was this: "The universe unraveled at a single touch from Andromeda, and she brushed her fingers over stars, asteroids, nebular gas, all the things her brother had created and then abandoned in favor of one single planet: Earth."
Now, I'm not going to sit here and say that my sentence is the most amazing first sentence to ever have been written. I never even claimed that it was good during our argument, only that what I said about hers could not be applied to my sentence (but, of course, she later tried to say that I was acting as if my writing was perfect), even though she was the one trying to say that my opinion wasn't valid because...honestly, I don't even KNOW. The whole thing was just so stupid and pathetic. I have no idea what her issue with me even really was because WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GIVING OUR OPINIONS and when she responded to mine telling me how what I said was wrong (though she also tried to claim that she WASN'T saying that), she also claimed that everyone approaches opening sentences differently (by which she meant no one could ever write a bad opening sentences because everyone does it differently so there's no wrong way, which of course, is totally fucking BULLSHIT; yes, there are different ways to write an opening sentence, but there can STILL be bad opening sentences. For example, if you start a story off with a character saying that the sky is blue, do you think anyone's going to continue reading that? Of course not because that would be boring and thus, a bad opening sentence!), in which case I'm allowed to have an opinion on which way I personally think is better.
But I never even said her sentence was bad. I only said I didn't find it captivating, but she apparently wanted me to think that it was captivating? I don't know.
Anyway...when she replied to my comment, she posted in the thread and then I replied to her in the thread and then she posted in the thread again and then I replied to her in the thread and then someone told us to shut up and suddenly Kylie's PMing me telling me how I was making myself look like a fool for not messaging her privately and doing it where everyone else can see. And I'm just like "Bitch, please, go fuck yourself and whiny little crybaby sucky ass writer." I probably should have said those exact words and just ended the thing there, but I guess I hoped I could get her to see what I was saying, but she didn't really have any interest in listening and just kept repeating the same stupid shit over and over and over again, while not reading what I was saying. Literally. She outright said that she was just skimming it and seemed to think that she could actually know what I was saying by doing so, even though she had already completely misinterpreted something I said by taking it out of context and even when I pointed this out to her, she still insisted that she knew what I was saying.
And then, of course, she was one of those people who when you're arguing with them, they're all like "Wahhh, just stop replying to me!" but continue to say shit to you. Like...do you honestly expect me to let you spout nonsense and lies about me and NOT say anything in return?
Speaking of lies, during our argument, she was posting in another thread (you know, in public, the very thing that she criticized me for doing) complaining about me and completely lying about what I said. She told people that I had said that my opening sentence was captivating because I introduced a character...
Which wasn't even close to what I had said. The only time I mentioned the fact my sentence introduced the main character was when she tried to apply my comment on her first sentence to mine, saying that it was just a description of space, and so I explained to her that that wasn't the case because it introduces the character and shows her relationship to the universe.
God.
I didn't bother posting in the thread to tell people that she was lying because it just wasn't worth the effort, but I did point out her hypocrisy to her, but apparently that meant my "maturity level [was] about as high as a two year old." Lmao! Like, seriously, bitch? I'm immature because I said that it was amusing that you told me you were doing "the mature thing" by PMing me privately instead of arguing publicly while spreading lies about me behind my back PUBLICLY? Shut your mouth, you fucking bitch. You make me sick.
There was a TON more stupid ass shit that spewed from her stupid ass mouth, but this rant would probably never end if I continued, so I'll only mention one more thing because this was just so goddamn stupid I wanted to bash my head into a wall at her utter, utter stupid stupidity.
Kylie: "And please, learn the difference between having a disagreement to having an argument. I don't need to be schooled on what arguments are about. That's what your language arts classes are for"
*smashes head into wall*
Obviously you DO need to be "schooled on what arguments are about" if you seriously thought we weren't having an argument. Seriously, look up the fucking definition, you half-brained bitch. Secondly, language arts classes are NOT for teaching about what arguments are about, you dumb fucking moronic stupid asshole!
Seriously, go fuck yourself.
Also, you can't write, so...
And I don't care how many followers you have or how many votes your story has or how many people tell you that your an amazing writer. You aren't. And I will take immense solace in the fact that my writing is WAY better than yours, so...fuck you, bitch.
Oh, yeah, one more thing:
I'm not a guy. XD
