Thank you @bex-dk, I very much appreciate your comments and knowing that I'm not alone in calling out what others just politely make no comment on.
I've heard about @thewritersblock and the great work they do there. Thank you for the kind offer to check it out.
I apologize for not having upvoted initially. I thought I had but must have been too busy commenting. ;-) You can see from some of the comments on mine that most do not appreciate being informed of the risks and wrongness of their behavior.

Some people don't like to see truths spoken. They prefer to take the easy route and call themself a writer because they are in a group who are all doing the same thing doesn't make it right.
Writing is a craft. They either respect that and work to hone the craft or they choose to put what amounts to rough notes up and call it a masterpiece. Doesn't make it so.
The sad part is that some of them could likely be really good writers if they would do the work that goes with learning a craft.
