I would be interested in knowing why you submitted this to this group. It seems rather deliberately provocative, even antagonistic.
Think of this as another form of C&C.
Though C&C can certainly be brutal- as you have yourself proven on many an occasion, I had always thought the purpose was to help someone improve their writing. Perhaps my perspective is skewed; to me this effort seems more like a flame than constructive criticism.
I do not intend to offend them for making fun of his work like this but I figure it's only a matter of time before someone does.
Though I won’t presume to speak for the author who’s efforts you have ridiculed, I would imagine they will be hard pressed to take this as other than outright scorn. If said author were of brittle and defensive personality, they might perceive this as an overt assault on their personal worth.
If such assumptions were if fact correct, it would seem to me that acting in such a manner- with foreknowledge of the likely result- would be more in keeping with the work of Beavis and Butthead, rather than the ‘helpful brutality’ that you have espoused in the past with your Commentary and Critique.
Is this an attempt to spark a debate? Is it nothing more than an attempt at satire? (I have ever found the very ‘genre’ of MST to be a rather lowbrow version of satire at best- often closer to simplistic mockery in its crude, one-dimensional nature.) Certainly I am hopeful for the former.
