Goodness, Karl must be feeling more than a bit battered and bruised by now. In his defense all I can think of is that he has spent too much time on "writers' peer review sites" where things can get very ugly very fast. Far from being supportive places where one can learn and grow together with like minded individuals, these sites are time wasters of the first order that breed ill manners and the worst sorts of Macheavellian strategies to stand out.
Karl, sounds like a quick exit would be in order. Retreat, regroup, and, maybe even rewrite. Then give it another try. This is an excellent place to find readers, share some fun and often as not learn something. But snarky need not apply.
Take care.
