Instead of some advice that's worthwhile, like making your characters interesting and such, this is what he decides to teach people. It really says something about his own writing if petty shit like this is the most important thing to be aware of. [insert Growing Around joke here].

Also, this confirms that Enter and his legion can't handle anything more subtle than a brick to the face.

The more "writing advice" Entard gives, the more obvious it is that he knows jack shit about writing. Note the obligatory Spongebob reference he shoehorned in. For someone who claims to hate the show, he sure brings it up at every opportunity. His autism is on full display here when he mentions Gravity Falls, a show that ends a good number of its episodes on cliffhangers, as a show that doesn't use cliffhangers. In fact, the specific episode he mentions ends on a huge one. But I guess that's different because it's a show he likes, and not Spongebob or Family Guy. Once again, Enter is a massive hypocrite.

It also doesn't help his position when the website he linked to is mostly describing shows that no one even knows about/wouldn't have gotten a second season to begin with.

I don't think he's entirely wrong with his point about cliffhangers. They are a tool that can be used to build suspense and create a feeling of anticipation for the reader or the audience. I also agree that creating a cliffhanger that will never be resolved is a terrible move. The 'who shot Mr. Burns' episode is a good example of an effective cliffhanger, but if it hadn't been resolved I imagine that a lot of people would have been very upset.

That doesn't mean that they're bad though. What irritates me is how he claimed that the only place where a cliffhanger would be effective is in a novel, where the cliffhanger is resolved quickly in the next chapter of the book.

It seems like he's trying to justify why he's continuing work on his novel and his unfinished game. It seems as though he's claiming that his novel and game are bad because they ended with cliffhangers, therefore his game and novel aren't bad, cliffhangers are bad.

He's getting faster at dodging valid questions every day. Doesn't mean that has answers aren't still hypocritical as hell, but he's learning.

Johnathan Rozanski is a hypocritical, pretentious, pseudo-intellectual man who is obsessed with cartoons and believes that he is more talented than he actually is.

The man who is so "smart", he doesn't know what a insert key is for. Although to be fair, it is fucking useless, but there's over type mode and insert mode. If he can't figure that out, he clearly can't get a 10 second look up on wikipedia.
