I entered this thread with no previous knowledge that you had ever invited criticism anywhere and I did not find what HarryT said to be disrespectful at all, it seemed like friendly advice that you could take if you wished to, or ignore if you wished to.
Now, I personally try to stay clear of topics centering around grammar since I've never had even a decent grasp of it. But much like a train wreck I couldn't help but look at this thread once you started responding. I don't care what was said about you're grammar but I do care about the way you responded, and you alone are responsible for how you handle a situation.
I'm not the type of person that will outright ignore someone's books because of the way they come across, but after reading this thread I'm going to be far less inclined to bother trying anything you've written. I'm just one person but that is totally irrelevant. I was a person that was not involved in the discussion, I was a person that just happened along and read the thread. If you've pushed me away it's safe to say that you've pushed others away as well. The numbers are irrelevant, what matters is that what you've done here is the opposite of what you need to be doing. And you can say that you don't care about sales but if you didn't want people to read your books you wouldn't have bothered publishing them, so I'd think that you'd care about not pushing people away.
