I can’t tell if you guys are being facetious about Baltis or not, but seems like he had some chops if he made Page semis.
He was a character. A very colorful person. He was like Jeff in some ways, but not at all in other ways. Very outspoken and almost Trump like in his belief in himself and his abilities as a writer. He was banned at least once at SS. He was a good writer though. In the "old" days, we did have some very colorful members. I can't remember all their names now, but those people, weird as they were kept the boards alive.

Yeah, I came on board in 2013, and I remember a few of the 'older" crew. We need a few characters around here. Like seven more Jeff's.
Still haven't finished it. I seem to have a hard time finding enough time to get my mind in the right place and then immerse myself in my script. I did finish yours today though. Will read my comments over tomorrow and email you.
There used to be more females here. I wish there were more. I think one reason there are so few compared to MP for example is that the tone and language can be a bit on the crude and harsh side. Dena left for that reason. How sad is that? Everyone likes Dena! Me? I used to deliver auto parts to the shady side of town. Not much you can do to me that I have not already seen or heard.
It is a shame there are not more women here but is it because of crude/harsh language? Are women more sensitive to that than men? I'm not so sure, I think its a person-to-person thing, not gender specific. Other than a select few, people here are courteous/respectful.
In terms of receiving criticism, it's really down to the receiver and how you process it. We all risk getting our ego trampled on everytime we share our work, it's part of the deal. Negative criticism only affects me when I know it's true, in that I know they are right, it's undeniable. It might be the opposite for others.
Some people, when called out for being belligerent or rude about a script, will just say they are being honest. I've always believed it's possible to be totally "honest" without being an asshole. You can eviscerate a script and still remain a gentleman/lady about it. To those who are assholes, I find them easy to dismiss. They're often insecure about their lack of analytical skills so they resort to insults/swearing. That's on them. As I said, it's all about how you process it.
As far as Balt goes, does he now have cult status? If so, I'm gonna brag. I've read Frostbite! Have you?
Haha, I wrote a 10,000 word review and numerous think pieces about the much teased (but never posted) "Coffin Canyon" An epic, game changing work. His would-be magnum opus I reckon.

Yeah he could definitely write. The only work I read of his was a 30 something page short called "Deliver Me Death" I think. A sort of trippy, horror western with a bar saloon as a kind of purgatory weigh station. Not too original in concept but I remember it had some colourful characters (Like the great Baltis himself) and was well written.
But yeah, as Pia said, Trump levels of vanity and a dab hand at withering reviews/retorts (mostly concerning bodily fluids and assorted viscera) Hence, his memorable-ness.
Plus, I always got a chuckle just out of the name: Baltis
