[#]WritersCoffeeClub Day 24: Do you criticize other writers? Who and in what way?

I mostly criticize things writers say, not the writers themselves. Like Stephen King's thing about not using adverbs, or Raymond Chandler's advice on having someone come through the door with a gun if you're not sure what to do next, which can easily result in a very tangled plotline full of threads with no clear antecedents. (In essence, a forest of diaboli ex machini.) 1/3
