I asked a QUESTION. I did not make a comment or imply anything.

I first did a search. Reedsy did not come up. I'll try again. Maybe I messed up, I don't know.

So I asked a question.

I was lectured about word usage, and twice told that I made a thinly-veiled accusation against a reputable company.

So I asked a question.

What is wrong with people here?

UPDATE:

I searched again. Nothing about Reedsy. This is the only thread.

So please DO NOT ACCUSE ME OF INSULTING REEDSY, MAKING A 'COMMENT' OR AN ACCUSATION. I ASKED A LEGITIMATE QUESTION.

UPDATE #2

Having received no useful information here, I just looked up Reedsy on the web, to see if anyone had reviewed it.

Newsflash: not everyone in the world has heard of it. I discovered that Reedsy itself is indeed the Upwork of editing. But I provided a link which I will provide again:

https://reedsy.com/discovery

Reedsy DISCOVERY.

That was what my question was about.

If I did this again, I would have made the topic header "Reedsy Discovery" and not "Reedsy" but that doesn't excuse people who didn't follow the link I provided and who lashed out at me and who said I accused Reedsy of being a scam when I did nothing of the sort.

You're welcome.

Maybe the word scam needs to be treated with the same aversion for troll.

It's far too easy to accuse someone of being a scammer with no proof. But it taints the discussion until it's no longer recognizable or beneficial.

And yes, Mary, you did implicitly accuse (imply) Reedsy of being a (possible) scammer. Just because you didn't state it categorically, you cast doubt in the form of an "innocent question". That's just disingenuous.

Surely you know on the internet that is a real hot button issue right now. If not, then as a writer, you should know the power of words.
