Alright.
Okay, so why don't we take a closer look, and see what it is that they're not quite so good at?
They gave you information to work with in this regard. They told you what their difficulties were, they quoted sections of the intro and asked about its purpose; they shared their thoughts with you, did they not? Surely we can use that as a starting point to find out what went wrong.

Having an hypothesis doesn't mean that "you" know/understand the thing. No incompatibilities here.
I, in the end, still do not know why some may not understand my intro, I can just hypothesize.

I explained to Fuchsia Guy what they said that they did not understand ( https://leagueofreason.org.uk/index...ics-read-description.16746/page-3#post-195155 ) and tehy still thought that I made mistakes in my intro, while the one making mistakes was them.
In this case it just seemed that they were incapable of understanding the intro because of their shortcomings.
Other people may not understand the intro for any kind of reason. I, or someone else, can explain them, but if they keep on not understanding they can either accept that they can't or get angry, call the explainers names and staying on an horse so high that they need a space suit.

Anyways I didn't come here to discuss with people that either can't or won't understand what I am talking about, I came here for good criticism. I wish to no longer talk about why someone may not understand my intro because it's pretty self-evident both that my intro is well structured and that not one is good at everything.
Language misunderstandings and lack of references may be fixed with a simple response, but wasting time is not something that I'm willing to do.

Who the fuck is 'Fuchsia Guy'?
This guy's a hoot. Not seen such degrees of hubris in many a minute.

Or, there's this other wild and wacky idea, which is that you haven't been clear and that's why they are confused. I know in your mind that's an impossibility, but to the rest of us it's an apparent reality.
He's referring to Sparhafoc. For some reason, he finds it necessary to refer to him by the colour the forum generates for the letter his name starts with, with respect to his avatar, rather than his actual screen name. Not sure why this is.

I've already said that from someone's POV doesn't matter how well or simply you may explain something they may never be able to grasp it.
I do not want to sound elitist in any way, but saying that my intro is bad because one cannot understand it is like saying that planes cannot fly because one can't understand it.

And the common theme of all his remarks (what does X part of this intro have to do with anything) isn't in any way indicative of his confusion concerning your intro? Why not?

I've "ignored" them around... idk, yesterday?
Plus, I've difficulties with names. Either I call the name of a person or object many times almost every day or I've to train like a crazy man chanting to himself in a matted room.
I mean no insult here, because when I want to insult someone I don't result to such petty stuff, I do it hard and directly to their face. Insulting someone doesn't mean that you've to drop the respect too.

1) Why do you talk about this in your intro? You're not explaining it. WHY? WHY DON'T YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING IN THE INTRO!?
2) I forgot to tell you in the last message that you're dragging around a quote from a random tread.

Well, why not? It is an introduction to your work, is it not? If your introduction to your work shouldn't introduce us to your work, then what should it do? If it ultimately isn't relevant to your work, then why even have it? Isn't it just taking up space and touching on subjects we're just going to drop once the introduction is over?
I don't see it. I use my phone for this site, though.Does it say something about sushi?
Yeah, I was wondering if it was intentional for some reason so I didn't ask about it previously. To delete it, just quote anything and you should be able to see it and remove it, you might have accidentally pushed it downscreen so you don't notice it when you're quoting other stuff.

How's it look now?
It's still there. I just temporarily took over your account and tbf I couldn't see it in your reply box either, let me see what else I can do. In the mean time don't worry about it.
