But also, I don't see the reason for all the outrage. You're policing the title of 'writer', denying it to people who aren't professional, or who haven't suffered greatly for their art.
And your answer left Flipzagging, and everyone else reading, with exactly that understanding. So, yes, in point of technicality, I'm disagreeing with something you never said. But this is conversation, not monologue, if someone says something of you that's wrong, speak up.
