Polite or not, the way way you went about responding to our comments gave off the impression that you were trying very hard to persuade us to like the changes when we don't in a debate styled response. IMO you could've just stated why you like the changes and end it there instead of arguing against everyone who stated (or in some cases complained) about why they didn't like the changes. There are some changes we liked and we stated them too, not just complaints! After all, it's not like we were trying to convince YOU to hate the changes ff.net has made. We merely stated why we didn't like it and the effects it has on our reading experience.


You're technically free to voice your opinions and continue to do so. It's just that you felt a bit forceful trying to persuade us to accept the changes of ff.net when some of their upgrades would've been better if they were made as options rather than default settings.

I'm not saying anything further. It's pointless saying anything else to you. Unlike you, I'm letting it be. You like what you like, I'll not like what I don't like about the changes, and move on with my life and not waste it dithering back and forth, over something that FFnet will not change in either case.

For goodness sakes! Did you even properly read what I had written. At no point did I say I wanted FFnet to remove ALL the new changes. In fact at no point did I say I wanted them to remove anything. I wanted the writers to have the OPTION to opt-in/opt-out of something. Because you know, giving people options makes them feel like they actually have a say in changes that get put in place.

We have to voice out against these recent badly-made changes. I've seen all over the internet where people say they are now turned off from leaving reviews, because it's such an inconvenience to have to opt-out or deselect the pre-selected 'author/story' alerts for every chapter/story you read. So, if it's a 50 chapter story and you are generally a reader who likes to review as many chapters as you like, that's essentially fifty different times you have to go through the highly annoying process of deselecting all those alerts. Maybe with enough people writing in to the support email complaining, and stating how much these new 'features' which includes 'moderating anon reviews', are actually hurting the writers themselves FFnet will repeal these idiotic new features. I have some small hope despite the fact that ffnet is notorious for completely ignoring its user base complaints, because the new 'comment' email alerts feature lasted only one day, before readers and writers all over the 'net rose up and demanded that the stupid 'new comment alert' be switched back to 'new review alert'. And it was. So, hopefully again with enough of us voicing out and voicing our displeasure with this latest bad stunt ffnet has pulled, they'll repeal all the dumb crap they've done in the last few days. I've sent an email myself this morning, and plan to send one again later tonight or tomorrow if ffnet looks like they still need a bit more 'persuasion' to change their minds.

Angry no. Getting increasingly annoyed, yes. My biggest problem with you right now is that you seemed to sign up with H&E just to argue for people to be all honky dory with FFnet's changes. And what's really annoying is the fact that you can't seem to just let people like what they like, or not like what they like. You saw no one here before you started posting, telling anyone else that they shouldn't like FFnet's new changes. If you like the majority of the changes that's fine. In fact that's great, as that's how you feel about it all. Continuing to post these massive posts answering back to each and every little thing someone says, and continually questioning why people don't like certain changes is actually quite arrogant. Just leave it be. You aren't going to change people's minds if they don't like something, and no one here was trying to change anyone else's minds if they did. So, you can point out all day if you so choose why you like the changes, but really stop quoting everyone and trying to force the issue of why we should like them.

Believe it or not the "Bromance" was actually referring to Naruto and Kurama's relationship. Really not what I was expecting.
