offered to do another review on the same story.

  1. You are the most ingracious little flea I have ever had the displeasure of working for. Not only did I read a solid half a million words in the course of the two reviews I gave your story, but I am halfway through your last one and will give it my frankest thoughts.

Another insult.

  1. I have gone above and beyond the call of duty thrice just for this one story of yours. I am not required to read all of a long fic. I did yours, twice. I then wrote it an enormous second review longer tha most stories on this site and indeed longer than many individual chapters of your story. You showed your thanks by complaining and deleting.

Because, once again, you a) opened with a threat and a personal attack, implying I wasn't allowed to question you, and b) invited your friends in to upvote me and downvote my story. Both are unprofessional and unacceptable. Please stop pretending otherwise.

  1. I have my regrets as a reviewer. Accepting yours is one of those. Perhaps I should have just rejected it and not supplied a longer review. Perhaps it is not too late to inquire about changing its status.

Another threat.

  1. If you don't like my work, either for this, or the one that's coming within these next few days, feel free to reach out to our complaint officer, Shadow. He's a little lonely and could do with a bit of excitement. https://www.fimfiction.net/user/ShadowblazeCR

I did. I submitted an abuse report to the mods the morning after you posted your personal review regarding your first paragraph. I waited a week and got no response. That's when I deleted the comment, deciding I simply couldn't let it stand. I also submitted a complaint to Shadowblaze, but likewise got no response. So in the end, I took the action I deemed appropriate and I can't apologize for it.

*sigh* I accidentally sent you half a response. But at this point, I'm not going to spam you with the rest. So let me conclude with a peace offering:

Feel free to repost your long review without the offending first paragraph. No personal attacks or insults. Do that, and it will stay up, and I will even publicize it without any rancor.

I sincerely apologize for my tone and defensiveness in places. My private critique was unhelpful and overdone. I will even apologize publicly if you meet me halfway and likewise apologize for your personal attack. So a mutual apology, and you get your review back sans first paragraph. I think that's more than reasonable, don't you?
