Why anonymous users, with private e-mail addresses and without posted stories are allowed on the site to review stories? How could I answer such a review, if I want to? I think it is unfair.
Do you know something about Myklo?

You're being read, why is that a problem? Allegedly agents lurk here, they're not going to have any work posted. Then there is a critic like Malcolm who is very open about not having work posted, but should that disqualify him from reading the work of others? it's true some members abuse the system by setting up second accounts, but that does not account for all anonymous accounts.
"A,B&E", "Not In My Name" and "52FF" (flash fiction anthology) all available on Amazon Kindle

YWO have all emails, as required to register. Anonymous critics have a right to their privacy to prevent whiners bothering them at their email addresses. There's enough junk mail as it is.

Reviews are one way opinions on your work and not up for discussion unless the reviewer chooses to engage.

Openly abusive reviews may be reported to Ted. Otherwise suck it up like the rest of us.
