(Not going to do this the nice way, huh? Fine then, we do it the not-nice way.) Inside the computer systems at the Pokémon Factory HQ, an alarm started beeping. "Wha-" Poryhedron noted the alarm's source. "Aaron's lost possession of his Basic Gym team Nevermore!? How'd that happen?" Immediately Poryhedron ducked into the wireless router, and at the speed of light, transferred itself to the network servers in Anchore Lab. Checking security camera feeds, Poryhedron spotted the "novice" trainer with what seemed to be a Snag Machine variant. "Geez, what happened to the days when ne'erdowells snuck in through back windows and stole unattended pokéballs?" Noting the exact geographical location of the altered pokéball, Poryhedron jumped from the Lab into the island's pokémon storage network and then straight into the Pokéball holding Nevermore. A quick alteration of the ball's coding caused it to transfer Nevermore back into Aaron's pokémon storage account. A second alteration introduced a bizarre glitch that left the ball unable to open or recall pokémon. Poryhedron had one more trick up its nonexistant sleeve. Scanning the changes this "Shadow Baller" had made to the pokéball, it found the wireless channel the device used to interface with pokéballs. Bouncing from the pokéball to the storage network to the Lab's servers and then into a wireless signal scanner, it used the channel data to transfer itself directly into the Shadow Baller. A few fun little tweaks later, Poryhedron rode the channel back from the device to the nearest pokéball (which happened to be Vulcant's) and back to the storage network, where it sent Nevermore back into Aaron's pokéball as an afterthought. Two seconds later, the Shadow Baller kicked into overdrive, flipping Vulcant's pokéball between Storage and Deployment sizes at a rapid rate. Nikko tried to shut the device off, but it didn't seem to be responding to any of its controls...finally the Shadow Baller's CPU overheated, there was a pop, and smoke started pouring out of the now-useless device.

Suggestions Board Regular
What I think is: Don´t hold on to your thoughts: Criticize! Just do it positively. My personal advice for positive criticizing is:
Avoid insults, these won´t get you to be taken seriously even if you are being so.
Avoid generalizing (things such as "everything", "nothing", "all your works", etc.) this is bound to give the other person a wrong idea either if you´re complimenting or complaining and it´s sure to bring up a longer argument.
If you receive responses read them carefully to see if your critique actually has flaws or if you have proven your point. This is when you really want to criticize but if you want to do it out of pure anger do it in a Word file like they say, I actually gotta try that sometime because I´m guilty of that, not here though. Oh, another thing: The person you´re criticizing might just be arrogant and won´t take you seriously no matter what you do, if that´s the case it is just better to realize you have better things to do and abandon the conversation for your time´s sake. I don´t think we have those kind of people here at PF though.
