greg - would you be the same greg who was lamenting the lack of feedback on subs only very recently?
If so then I for one have tried to be both positive and constructive as have others, not least wayland and Jeni B.
Anonymity should not be licence to be gratuitously offensive.

Actually, you are wrong. I had read your sub, chosen not to comment, and then shortly afterwards, the idea for the headline came to me.
It was genuinely intended to be a helpful suggestion, if I had been being fatuous, I'd have come up with a much worse suggestion than that.
Anyway, I come here to be amused and impressed by people with a far greater writing skill than I could ever hope for, not to poke sticks at people.

I'm only replying immediately so as Not to bump this up. You should have picked up your own quote for poking sticks at the mentals, which I personally think is extremely offensive and can categorically state that such a thought would never enter my angelic head.
Having read the sequence of comments I still think you're lying. However, you are a member the gentle sex and know I ain't got a hope. You're therefore right, dear.
It's all just a bit fun anyway isn't it? Something to keep us occupied, until we die.
Can we all be friends again please? I've just discovered my housemate is growing weed in the boiler cupboard, anybody want some to chill out?
And for the record, I'm spartacus. Sorry greg, I'm still amused by the suggestion that anybody would really think you're gary.

I wasn't the originator of the "poking a mental with sticks" comment. And to the best of my memory, haven't used it.
I'm clearly never going to convince you that I wasn't taking the piss, so I'll give up.
The fact that the suggestion was commented upon in a positive way was clearly part of a nefarious plot to undermine you and fiendishly take over the world.
I have too many other, more important, things to do today, and I've already wasted far more time than necessary trying to explain myself.

Why not weave it into your story? That's the idea of feedback.

How about this for an idea, Wayland, Just shut your mouth. I've been trying to let this sub go for some time now, though I can't deny being quite pleased about the abusive tags I'm getting. I made a slightly critical comment to you a few days ago, which you obviously can't handle. Rather than continually bumping this sub try and grow up a bit.

Greg, Greg. You've been goading people with abrasive comments for days, I thought I'd goad you back in the gentlest way possible. I hadn't realised you weren't playing, but I did detect an underlying malice to your original comments.
You were obviously expecting overwhelmingly positive feedback, but accidentally asked for 'honest' feedback instead. That's exactly what I gave you, and the fallout is exactly the reason why people tend to only comment in a positive way on posts they enjoy, or posts that could be improved with some helpful suggestions.

Yes, sorry, but this thread has been running for over 24 hours.
Getting a bit tired of it, as whatever's going on is not about the original story anymore, but something deeper and harder to articulate.
Greg, are you OK, or do you have a history of this kind of thing?

Shall we all stop at the very latest by Comment number 50?
Whilst I'm on I might take the opportunity to say that positive i.e. genuinely helpful feedback on any of my scribblings has in the main been from those who write the best stuff themselves. I won't name for fear of missing someone out and/or offending but I hope that you know who you are.
