It's not that anyone's flaming the "newbs", it just that they're referring to ANYONE that doesn't put any effort into writing whatsoever or just wants to make a cry for attention. (at least that was what I was getting at.
). It's ok if a story could use some work, but it's another thing to be completely lazy and not put any work into that writing. THAT was what I (and pretty much everyone else) was getting at.
