Oh, I know - I investigated the comm quite thoroughly after I saw it had been set up.
I guess my biggest issue is with the whole anonymity thing. If I'm spending that amount of time in writing a review for someone, then I actually want them to know it was me - particularly if it's a fic I wouldn't otherwise have read. And equally, if someone's going to take rather more time and trouble to review a fic than it takes to say "Loved this", than I want to know who they are. If you can't honestly own up to your opinions then why are you bothering?
I'm not afraid of concrit if that's what it is CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. But if someone's going to just bitch and moan because I've written the story differently to what they would have done, or what they wanted to read, then I'm not interested. NO ONE (and especially not me!) MAKES anyone read fic - you choose to do so! As I said, back when the idiots on who_anon were labelling me an oppressor with all the Martha fic I was writing, I don't go around to their houses, chain them to a chair and then force them to listen while I read them my fics. If it's not to their taste, they know where the back/scroll button is.
