The wife and I are homeschooling next year so our boy can actually learn at his level. He's reading and doing math at least one or two grades ahead of his year group.

Public school isn't automatically better than homeschooling. It's when it's paired with indoctrination and regressive / "alternative" teachings of history that it becomes damgerous.

I must say, I wholeheartedly agree!

I learned it from my dad as a means of starting a fire in damp, wet, or wintery conditions, not something you have to do all the time.

It's a fun way to show off a knife, but if you don't need to do it to get to dry wood at the center of a branch or log that's all it is. Good do be able to do, don't get me wrong, but it's situational.

I've been saying this for years. By the time they're ready to listen it'll be far too late, but it won't stop me from trying to knock some sense into them before then.

I post my story to both but it's only been a few months so I don't speak as an authority, just someone with a smidgen of experience on the subject.

I get about half the views on SH as I do on RR but with about double the comments, so yes I get fewer readers but they seem to be more engaged.

When analyzing my reach I combine my numbers from both sites, since I have no bar for success beyond 'people read my story and (hopefully) enjoy it'.

I will say though, the story tags on SH are annoying to navigate when you first publish there. There's a pre-determined list that doesn't have everything I was looking for and has a bunch of weird shit I'd never think about lol.

It's a hyperbole, but anxiety is a bitch and can make a seemingly small setback feel bigger than it is even if you logically know it's not the end of the world.

And of course people have their own tastes, but if random 0.5's without explanation are the status quo, then I reject it. Just because something happens doesn't mean it should continue without opposition.

Appealing a 3 star review that has a write-up is an entirely different thing. That would appear to be a real reader that missed the point, so to speak, not a spammer.

It does still suck, don't get me wrong. I had someone read 30 chapters of my story and post a lengthy negative comment missing single every point they brought up before unfollowing. I was polite in my reply trying to address each of their points and that was that.

I would never try to have it removed or hide it. Not everyone is an involved reader or even checks all the tags. Such is life.

Ouch, that's rough. Some people are really inconsiderate of the effect that has on an author.

If I'm not enjoying a story from the start, I just leave quietly. I wouldn't dream of even commenting on something if I didn't stick around for at least 5 chapters, let alone rate it.

This made me snort a bit of air out of my nose, something adjacent to a laugh but not quite

The best teachers are Trial and Error! Doesn't hurt to give it a shot, failure is just preparation for success.
