While I can see that some of the comments directed at your posts tended towards the piss-take, Jac19, I think you really need to take a breath and reflect on @didyw 's very considered and insightful comment a page or so ago. I couldn't say it better.
I understand that when we feel attacked it is easy to dig in to our position, but it really feels you're willing to argue black is white rather than accept you made a mistake. We all make them and you're human too.
As something of an aside, it might be that giving advice along the lines of 'you might consider...' or 'i've found very helpful...' gels better alongside the other excellent advice here, rather than appearing to shout out instructions in capital letters. I'm truly not trying to have a go, just give you my honest impression as someone who reads a fair bit here.
Take your own preaching trying to sound condescending and stuff it, trying to "lecture" a NY published writer how to make comments that you want.
It is not rocket science. Everyone with a brain can see that a Cherry Blossom tree is a gorgeous WHITE & PINK heaven sent thing that looks like tiny angels landed on them.
There is nothing the ugly rotten ogre trolls here cannot bitch at, talking milk and honey and white angels into dog poo and tar.
Ok. I'm not trying to lecture but give some constructive feedback. Nice to be 'spoken to' that way in response. Congratulations on your NY published work, but my comments were directed at the way you interact with other humans, not the merits of your sentence structure.
I quite agree about cherry blossom. I have planted a cherry tree in my garden and it has lots to add, including great autumn colour. That's really not what folk are disagreeing with you on.
IMHO cherry blossom is much overated. Stunning for a few days, then a horrid , rain soaked sludge on the ground underneath then a pretty ugly tree all summer.

Different strokes and all that 🙂 I find the foliage fairly handsome all year, and the bark is beautiful (though the same can be said for lots of prunus I suppose). The blossom is just one part of the appeal, to me, I what I mean.
And you are only a slandering, bitching troll, Punk, rotten to the core, trying to talk angels into dogpoo.

A lovely article I read when I was in the US last year:
