You know what this reminds me of? The first time we talked on Hubski.

I asked for film recommendations. You mentioned a few that were off the mark, given the constraints of the request. I said "You misunderstand". You waved around just how many awards are in your cupboard and how fuck no you didn't misunderstand. I told you to go fuck yourself, and we haven't spoken for a while.

I'm a newbie when it comes to writing. I don't know as much about theory as you do. I offered my point of view for you to confirm or decline, hopefully with an explanation. You went on a rant about worldbuilding as a kind of writing (as opposed to worldbuilding as a way to populate the world with living, breathing things so what you show in your story doesn't feel two-dimensional), and then gave one single paragraph answering the question at hand.

I just want to know if this is how my asking something about the craft is gonna go from now on.
