If you wanted to emphasize the message instead of your stylistic means, you could have lessened the obtrusiveness of your style. By not doing so, I think you are rightfully criticized for style, when it should have been about the message.

I'm fine with being criticized — best way to learn to do better. I just resented the suggestions that I didn't know what I was doing. If I deliberately fuck up, I'll take my punches, but the comments implying I somehow accidentally used "shit" that many times kind of irritated me.
