Look, I am sorry Ms Peabody (Whomever the fuck that is) rejected you. But get used to it, because it is going to happen and again. And every time it happens is not because an editor doesn't have the ability to write the genius that comes from your pot infested mind. So get over it, and get used to it instead of sounding like an L.A. crybaby. Work harder, write better. Listen to your peers. I sent that link because I thought you would genuinely find it interesting, but now I realize that others' literary musings mean nothing to a star like yourself, who in a sense is a brick wall when it comes to anything in the way of valid criticism form writers more established than yourself. It is a problem rampant on the site and you are the blind leading the naked. Most of these people do not want any sort of criticism (whether harshly or gently). They do not want to get better. They just want praise for the shit they post. End of story. A quick ego boost of instant gratification.

Furthermore, instead of having anything valid or intelligent to say about Mr. Lish you simply go into a defensive posture, which puts you on the same level as your kid. Grow up and maybe so will your writing.
