And you know, often, people are what they are. They can do something, or they can't, and all the suggestions in the world won't make a difference. I'd love to be able to paint, but even if someone employed Michelangelo to teach me, it would still look like the daubings of a five year old. So, to offer a proper concrit, even with the con bits, can undermine confidence to the point where the person stops writing. Even bad writing, if it gave the author pleasure, is a good thing.
So, I'm with you, kid...
This is different, as you say, to betaing for someone you 'know', or dropping a note of thanks where, on the whole, you've enjoyed a piece of work, for the bit of entertainment you've had.
So - no concrit, but thank you for the entertainment!
