The thing is, it won't be merely my comments on Dustin's script..most likely, everyone hated it.
But, in true Dusty form, I'm sure he'll dispute every single negative comment he receives, just like he always does.
Hell, you can go back to his first days here and you'll see he disputes everything...then...later on, as he slowly learns, he'll say the exact same thing to other writers, and even in that rare occasion,l he'll admit that he didn't realize his numerous flaws earlier, but now, is a true master.
I cannot wait to see which horrendous effort was his...and remember, this was the OWC that he guaranteed a strong showing. Ha!! Cannot wait!!!

Not everyone. I'm kinda pinning my hopes on the non reader blind votes.

Oh no, I won't.

Some awkward phrasing in the above makes it difficult to decipher your point.

I did guarantee a strong showing and I tried really, really hard. I'm, frankly, hurt that you're belittling my effort. If I was the type to be suicidal, I'd probably be it right now. And it would be all on you. Imagine how guilty you would feel if I hung myself due to your comments.
To me - it's a writing challenge not a review challenge. i.e., an exercise to improve one's writing chops and a free one at that. The reviews and ratings are just a bonus whether there are 5 or 25.
Not knowing how the points are tallied - the # of reviews might have nothing to do with the final results anyway - for example - it it is the total number of recommends a script gets - yeah - numbers count. If it is the average rating - not so much. But again - does it matter?? You get to write a script and reviews some scripts - good stuff.
To Jeff:
Quoted Text
I did not enter, but I read and reviewed over 25 scripts...whether or not I read more than a page, doesn't matter, because I gave each script I opened up the same opportunity. I wish more peeps would incorporate the same and that way, each script would have alot more feedback, whether it be positive or negative.
First - kudos for reviewing at all particularly since you didn't enter. That's good.
Second - whether or not you read more than one page does matter in terms of labeling something a "review". IMO, you can't rate a script a F anymore than you can rate it an A by reading one or two pages. It is more akin to a non-review because the script made you bail early. It would be more accurate to say you reviewed XX scripts and did not review XX that you opened because early on you found errors or they didn't hold your interest, etc.

Dustin, I highly doubt you're the least bit hurt by my comments, and if you truly are, I apologize, but let's remember, this back and forth was once again instigated by you.
When you choose to dish it out, get ready to slop it up, cuz it'll be coming right back at ya, bro.
We'll know soon enough and then we can sick the rabid dog, Dusty, on them, but then again, his bark is much worse than his bite, as he seems to be a very scrawny, tiny, harmless old chap.
