I have been working for quite a while on a sight tonight that some of the mylotters suggested for making money. I've really been working hard and doing a good job, but they keep taking credits from me which means money. They give me a bonus and then take it away. Its an article writing job which is something I can do, but they keep sending me these unkind emails with little goofy reasons. They threatened to suspend me a few minutes ago. Is anyone listening?

I'm listening. Sorry to hear about this other site. The fact is, there's no real easy way to make money online. I myself, belong to a business that operate real world and online, and if you're interested message me. There got that out of the way, now to being human.
Are you really, truly all that down about this site? I'm sorry to hear that. I thought that this posting might have been a little older, and that you might have been hurting over something traumatic... I'm thanking God, Providence, the fates, what have you that it's not something super harsh and painful.
What is the site, if I dare ask? What are some of the examples of reasoning they've sent you? Well, don't let 'em get you down. Move on, if you can. Unless you're a really awesome author, and/or can get someone to finance you, then really, there's no "easy" way to make money online, let alone get "discovered" by the literary world--it's a good dream, and it can earn a little coin, but that's about it. As far as the critics go, they will always be there, and the more serious and the more intense you become and the harder you work, the more numerous and intense they will become. They're still plugged into the matrix, and thus by their nature, if you'll excuse my usage of that movie metaphor, they will be "agents", your enemy because you represent independent thought.
Don't let 'em get you down.

You know something, I'm not all that down about the site. Just disappointed. Everyone is not as kind as I am. LOL! It's just like when you work at a worldly job, many of your bosses don't know how to compliment you for a job well done, they just complain if something is not perfect.
Heck no. I'm not all that down about it. Too many big grieving experiences in the past 4 years or so do get all tore up over that.
To top that, my finances if not been so bad since 15 years ago. But I am today beginning to see the light of day.
Also, I have a grandson. 10 days old. My first grandchild, and I have a wonderful, kind, compassionate, successful, God fearing daughter. I appreciate all this and more.
I appreciate your kind words, and I will message you. Thanks so much for taking your time to respond. Blessings.

Thank you, both of you. I find it just being easier in life to empathize, to be sincere, and to be willing to be there. I wanted, for a long time to be a clinical psychologist, to help people with their problems, but the reality is that I don't have the cheese needed to be able to afford a year to two-year internship without being paid--maybe some day in the future...
So, in the meantime, I'm earning my master's degree to become a mediator by profession, so instead of helping people deal with their internal conflicts, I'll help with conflicts between 2 or more people. Anyway, sorry to ramble about me. Sometimes we just need to vent, and is it safe to say that this posting helped a bit? I don't know. I thank you both for your kind assertions, and wish everyone here the best of everything,
David A. Reedy...

Perhaps you should refrain from doing those things. There are other ways of writing for good money. Find a job somewhere, in a magazine or a local newspaper. The point is you are a writer and you deserve to get your rightful wages.
