   He is nursebee/sheila popeck/Risk_of_Ruin/mumble/grumble/JLo/sna   
   edot/./Muzzled--TheAttackOnFreedomOfExpression and at least a dozen other   
   usernames.  Nursebee is one of his    
   earliest, so that is what most people call him.  Like you, he likes to play   
   the gender ambiguous games, which made me suspect.  I was asking someone to   
   vouch for you, that they knew you, which nobody did.

   I know nothing about these "investment websites" you refer to.   
      
   Here's my point: If you can't handle constructive criticism, then don't   
   post work asking for it.   
      
   The source of the criticism is irrelevant, what is relevant is whether   
   or not it is correct, whether it helps you toward better writing or not.   
      
   To ignore criticism and seek to discredit the critic instead is not   
   useful, it is avoidance, and at best it does nothing to improve your   
   writing skills.
