Cleo wrote this up as a response to all the flaming that’s been going on in the comments section of this post.
But i thought that it deserved more limelight so i’m taking it out of there and putting it up here. Because not only is it a well written post… but because i support her and i personally think filbert is wrong about her writing abilities. I mean, if she wasn’t a good writer, i wouldn’t have asked her to post on the site.
Anyway, without further adieu… i give you Cleo:
This will be my last response to this idiocy.
Filbert, you did not “criticize” me, you flamed me. The difference is when someone criticizes, they try to maintain a positive energy so that the person subjected won’t become angry or defensive, and that the person critizing can say something that will actually improve the other person for having experienced it.
You never gave me that opportunity. You introduced yourself to this community with phrases such as “carpet eater,” “get your head out of your ass,” called the webmaster lazy, the man keeping the site up a bitch, insulted a writer, and we were all left with a general taste of hypocrisy in our mouths when it comes to you. In the same thread you’ve accused and then retracted, you’ve very openly kissed ass under a pretense of “respect,” and you’ve insulted other readers.
Most importantly, you’ve commited the crime that you accused me of – “retreading ground that has been trodden 1 million times before.” Is it beneficial for you to post the same flame over and over again? I got that you don’t like me, and the fact that you keep reiterating it doesn’t matter so much as the fact that I DO post here, I will CONTINUE to post here, and you will ALWAYS be some lamer in the comments section. Furthermore, you will never be welcome in any community with an attitude like the one you’ve displayed.
You may think I can’t write, but I visit sites where I skip over authors all the time. It’s natural to have a preference toward a certain writing style, though I doubt you come here for anything more than to jerk off over free porn. The fact that there’s ANY words on this site must be irritating to you. If you don’t like MY words, ignore them. I promise I won’t be hurt if a caveman such as yourself can’t appreciate what I write about, and I won’t take offense to you only reading Justin’s posts.
Please note that this is a FREE site. No one here is being paid to entertain you, no one is handing out resumes or asking for you to pay to see my thoughts. No one is even asking you to pay to see naked breasts (though I’m nearly positive that you’d have to pay to see them anywhere else, especially in the real world). Who are you to question Justin’s judgement? This is his personal site. He keeps people here who he personally enjoys. This is not a popularity contest, but if it was, I appear to have won.
Now I know you’re sitting at your computer waiting for another comment to pop up so that you can use your same old tired “I can’t understand this girl’s big words, wah wah wah” flame, but spare us all. You’ve said your piece, and you’ve pissed off most of the people who come here just by cluttering the site with negativity, and you can’t even finding original ways to call me unoriginal. Try, now, to stop spewing this crap all over the page. Your 10 seconds of fame are over.

HA! For someone who “can’t write”, she just made you look like a really big ass with her writing!

Now that I’ve succeeded in being the first to comment, I shal continue on with a real comment. I belive Filbert needs to take some time off. Perhaps he dislikes himself in some way. Maybe he forgot his medication, who knows. However he must keep in mind that no one asked him to come here. No one asked him to comment. No one really cares what he thinks. If you(filbert) don’t like what you’re reading here, don’t come here. I’m sure no one would mind if you decided to spend your valuable time elsewhere. Remember these sites are for your entertainment, you should enjoy this, and if you don’t, why are you here? Move on. I’m sure there’s something on the internet that you can agree with.

hey, cleo, he called me a "little odd." Why didn’t you post that up on your post? I’m hurt. I thought we were friends…
p.s."though I doubt you come here for anything more than to jerk off over free porn" truer words were never spoken.
