I read several realms on this site and I have no problem calling out authors for bad behavior or plot holes in their stories. Yes, I have blocked my PMs because I am entitled to state my opinion. I do not want to engage in a PM war with anybody over my opinion nor will I engage in a war in a review section. If any reader or writer feels my opinion crosses the line to flaming or harassment then they are free to fill out an abuse report and report me to the site admins. If a story is horrible, badly constructed, or filled with glaring spelling and grammar mistakes I don't even bother leaving a comment, I fill out an abuse report.

If a writer states anything in their profile or story summaries that basically states they want nice reviews only, I won't even bother with those brick walls. Writers that honestly want to improve their craft take constructive criticism in stride and see the point in the statements a reviewer makes. Those that whine about it really aren't interested in anything but getting their egos stroked just for tossing something out onto the site.
