Lorialet, theres a difference between being honest and being tactless. You may not consider it rude to call people 'stupid' but it's general consensus that it's considered an insult because it's BASIC ENGLISH and BASIC SOCIAL SKILLS. Keep in mind that EXTREMELY few people will share your logic here and asume you're just being a dick. And that's a pity because i know you're not like that, even if you can be such an irate sometimes. Just because you don't take it personal (which, let's be honest, you kinda do), doesn't mean they won't as well.

Another thing about 'stupid ideas': before someone makes 'good ideas', they're gonna have to get some 'bad' ones first; before someone writes smart stuff, they may have to write dumb stuff first. It's called EXPERIMENTATION. And if someone just 'stagnates' in 'bad ideas' because IT'S THEIR STYLE, then maybe there's not much we can do but 'be the bigger man' and move on. If you really need to call someone out, at least do it in polite and mature way, not necessarily because they would deserve it, but because you can show yourself a better person. If someone is 'stupid' then at least try not lower to their level and make yourself look just as bad.

And cut Snowtrooper some slack: the guy was new, so i gave him the site rules and now he has a better idea on how things work here. He might better himself in the future.

And if you want well-told stories, why not observe some RP's ? So far i've seen some good reads, with witty humor, drama, action and genuine love (rarely with pointless 'eroticism').
