12/ No, I'm criticizing bad artwork, and explaining why it is bad so that others do not make the same mistakes. Standards exist, aesthetics are real, skills are learnable, and using the magic words "indie" or "pulprev" doesn't make any of that untrue.https://twitter.com/MorganColeBooks/status/1252990346331553792 …

24/ well, if you think that the author in question would be well served by reading a scathing critique of his non-existent writing skills, by all means, feel free to contact him and show him my tweets I, personally, don't think he would be. https://twitter.com/benkeiser3/status/1252993717310574593 …

25/ I think he is unlikely to be able to learn from the feedback (so invested is he in the narrative that he is ALREADY so good at writing that he takes money from others to instruct them on his method), but is emotionally brittle and would have his feelings hurt. /shrug

26/ No. No. A thousand times, no. There are different genres and different styles, and de gustibus non est disputandum, but technique and skill are objective. Tolkien and Niven are different and great in different ways. ...and some things are bad.https://twitter.com/RobHaines905/status/1252995450916962304 …

27/ > Becuase really your just coming off as a condescending elitist yes I have a better understanding of what makes skilled writing, because I have diligently studied the topic, and I am condescending to explain it to people who have not. We are in agreement.

28/ > It's not a good look. We've already established that I care about what the masters & skilled technicians of the craft have to share about how they perform their magic. ...and that you do not. ...so why would I care what you think of the fact that I care about standards?
