Yes it did! It was just odd to do it that way.

Edit: I figured it out ^^; You have to be logged out before you can request a password reset which is a little odd. So used to being able to change a password whilst signed in.
 
I don’t know if that’s what BronxWench was referring to but I’m going to check my e-mail now and see if it worked.

Thanks all. I have never had a review like that. I generally don’t get many reviews but I know that it’s really hard to get people to review original fiction so I’ve come to accept the stagnation of reviews. That being said, the review I experienced was extreme pomposity and arrogance. Like I said, I looked at the reviewer’s profile (hardly anything there. Only five stories, no background information or anything) and I read a part of one of the stories. Two paragraphs was all I could do. There were grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, etc. and while I am not the best at spelling (I am, but some errors slip by me and it drives me crazy when I find one in a chapter I’ve posted. Yes, I go back and reread mine and from time to time make slight changes) I do not make as many mistakes as that person did.
 
I’m also not trying to garner half a million hits and a huge following. A few more readers would be nice but I don’t put things up with the expectation that I’m going to get a huge flock coming to my name. I mean, there’s so many other people here with varying degrees of skill and if a few people like what I do, that’s fine. I’m not doing it for notoriety.

You make sense, Tcr and like I said, I don't mind criticism. I had one offer me suggestions on another story and I listened to the suggestions and I was able to see where they were coming from but this most recent review and then have the audacity to add, right below the rewrite in their style: "I hope this helps."

Thanks George. I don't mind criticism but to say the entire way a person writes is wrong, well that isn't constructive.
Here's the opening paragraph for argument's sake (Personally I like when a scene is set in the beginning which is what I try to do): 
It was a foggy morning when a demon with long hair woven into thick braids unfolded his flame-torn wings. His ears twitched when he heard footsteps. He had already caught the scent of the man and he wasn’t worried because it was a familiar scent. He wouldn’t mind an early morning visit from him. Besides, he had made the request in the form of a discreet order.
 
---This is the seventh installment in this line, this world I created. I have had a few (not many) comment that they love this entire series. The review yesterday was the first that said my entire way of writing is a turn-off and I should practice a style similar to theirs. Just so you know, I looked at one of their pieces and I'm not a fan of their style but I didn't leave a review suggesting they adopt a different writing approach.
So I don't have many hits or reviews. At least there are people reading them and I'd like to think there are those who appreciate the time and effort gone into making this land.

Haven't been here in ages but I had a review today that sort of got to me. Basically it went like this: "You have a good idea but your style is horrible. Here's how I would write it."
Now I write originals and I write mine pretty much the same way each time. I built up this world over the years (10+ to be exact) and all of a sudden I have someone telling me it's all wrong and I should adopt a style like theirs. 
Have any of you had this happen? How do you deal with it? I just feel like a small child who has been contentedly drawing with crayons only to have an adult snatch it away and "fix" it. The moment the adult fixes the drawing, it ceases to be the work of the original artist (the child).
