I quit because I knew the quality would only degrade. The final chapter I wrote and never published was utter garbage, nowhere near the standards of the previous chapters, and what I wrote of the chapter after that was simply an embarassment. The story was good, but its time had come and gone. I am not the first author to lose the heart of a story before its completion.

The insult in question came because the moderators of TPM had openly changed the rules of the forum to make effective reviews of your work impossible. Since I could no longer give my honest opinions of your work, I was forced to resort to a final ad hominem attack to make my feelings clear. If anyone is to be blamed for the insult, it is you, for throwing fits and complaints whenever faced with less than complete praise.
