If you must insist on boring pontification, could you please use a really, really small font?

It looks fine now. But before it was in an obscenely large font.

i read the first few paragraphs, the writer is obsessed that his way si the onyl way, and many of hism ideas would only serve a purpose in particular genres.

If it isn't yours you either shouldn't be posting it as your own work (which is how it appears when there is no author(s) credited), or you should be giving proper credit where it belongs. And if you don't know the author, either credit it as 'unknown', do some research to find out first, or don't post it.

I agree with Azmanka that you may have missed the purpose, I think the idea is the piece posted is meant to be a 'witty' and ironic satire. . . whether it's actually good or not is an entirely different matter however.
