[QUOTE="Merlion, post: 3124478, member: 10397"] See, I have absolutely no problem with all of this, for one major reason. Because you are stating it as your opinion, how you feel, and your reaction to and assesment of the story. I dont even care if you say "it sucks" if you then procceed (as you have done) to say "in my opinion" or "for me". I even agree to some extent with your assesment of some of the flaws (although their existence as flaws is also subjective, since the things you and I found weak in the writing others may enjoy) My problem is those who claim a work as worthless and bad for EVERYONE just because they dont like it, and/or that anyone who does like/enjoy it is somehow deficient. But your aknowledging it as your opinion, not an iron clad fact, which makes it much more palatable to me. The middle one could be seen as objective. And the first one may be objective, as far as wether its cliche or not, but since many people enjoy cliches, I dont consider it a flaw neccesarily. The last, awkwardness of phrases, seems somewhat subjective to me. [/QUOTE]
