It's all good. I understand that with writing, as with any other art, styles have followings and not everyone's going to like what I do.
I was out to make the reader want to read more. That's it. Not worried about impressing the literati, not worried about being the best thing since sliced bread. I write for two reasons -- one, as you mention, is simply setting down the memories, the stories, of my life, and the other is simply to entertain folks.
He wasn't entertained? Great, maybe he'll like something else I've written or will write ... or maybe not. I'll still write for the first reason, and hope for the best.
Tbh, I was partly just being an asshole to you on purpose...
