edenfallingI'm sure you're sick of these people and my letters by now, but I want to keep a public record of the mess and all correspondence related to it. I will cut the details, though, never fear!
A message I received at 2:45am, Eastern Daylight Time, on October 19, 2012:

We couldn't delete our own reviews, only the site administrators could do
that. That or you could have deleted it. Deletion of a chapter causes deletion
of the review, and reuploading it will not put it back.
To answer your question about the interactive 'stuff', here's this:
Entries not allowed:
1. Non-stories: lists, bloopers, polls, previews, challenges, author notes, and etc.
2. One or two liners.
3. MST: comments inserted in between the flow of a copied story.
4. Stories with non-historical and non-fictional characters: actors, musicians, and etc.
5. Any form of interactive entry: choose your adventure, second person/you based, Q&As, and etc.
6. Chat/script format and keyboard dialogue based entries.
Though, you might want to change the 'you' into the guy's name if you don't
want any more reviews pointing it out to you.
Thank you for reading.

To which I responded:
Since I did not remove your compatriots' reviews -- why should I, when they so clearly revealed your group's wrongheadedness and collective bullying tactics? -- the only remaining answer is that the site administrators removed them. I consider that a clear statement that I am in the right and you are in the wrong regarding our respective interpretations of rule 5.
Please stop harrassing writers on this baseless misinterpretation of the rules.
(Also, you did not answer my implicit question; you sidestepped it. I expressed interest in hearing your justification for interpreting non-interactive uses of second person narrative as somehow being interactive. Your copypasting of the rules does nothing to address that point. Instead, you merely showed once again that you and your group profoundly and persistently misinterpret rule 5.)
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Culmer

...I let my temper get away from me a touch, damn it. The rhetorical question in the first paragraph is a bit too much of a direct personal attack, and I should have let the whole "blatantly avoiding the question" bit lie instead of responding to that provocation. I needed to wait another half hour or edit a sixth time. Gnrgh.
