I know of the person(s) you speak of on LOTRFF, matter of fact, I've seen one in particular, do that to more than one author of stories I enjoyed. I would read the reviews to see if anyone got a different viewpoint of the story, and get an even deeper understanding of the story that I may have missed, and thus, I would read the story again. You may be surprised to know, that when the reviewer would insist on the author answering replies, it would turn me off. I would no longer read the reviews, and so not get that other viewpoint - which is a shame, as the world is so much larger than we ourselves are, and we really ought to be expanding ourselves (to some extent), rather than being so insular. But that's just my opinion.
I certainly can't blame you for taking your stuff off of LOTRFF. (And I hope that I haven't done anything bad to you either. :D )
AND you have every right to get it off your chest. AND if you ever want me to beta (unless I already am doing that? NOT really sure what a beta does come to think of it) your works, you know how to find me! ;-) LOL
