So, for those who were finding the scrolling on the new blog design slow, is it any better now?

This is an interesting review of my HP fic(s). ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lizbee has already made a couple of comments on one remark she felt was misleading; but it was another part of the review that particularly baffled me.
( MORE... )
I don't mind having my work reviewed critically. Some of my favorite reviewers have been quite direct in pointing out flaws, as well as being honest about things they personally don't like to see in stories (Oi! for instance, never gave a fig for Snape and didn't particularly warm to Maud either, and I still loved her reviews). I can even think of some pretty severe criticisms myself (for the record, those include wobbly characterization of Maud in the first story; a number of embarrassing continuity gaffes involving numbers, dates, and architectural layouts; a really cringe-worthy bit of dialogue in the first chapter of IWS; and too much schmoop in Snape's letters, among others).
But I do object to the reviewer misrepresenting the content of my fics and disparaging faults of which they are not in fact guilty. Aslizbee pointed out, that's not a valid form of criticism.
