Work is boring

[rusty_halo]

I hate people who use my site to leave nasty reviews. Not negative-but-fair reviews, that's fine. Debate and discussion and disagreement are all important, as long as the debate is fair and doesn't descend into personal insults.

But *nasty* reviews, where they insult the writer, or demand that the writer write to the reviewer's own personal specifications -- those piss me off so much. Because not only is it rude and horrible and casts all fic readers in a bad light, but they're using *my* review system, that I put so much effort into building, to insult the wonderful writers of stories that I carefully chose for my site. And they're insulting stories that I spent all this time archiving and building a database for. AND, they're hurting the feelings of REAL PEOPLE over a piece of fiction. It feels like a personal violation, because they're using *my* site to spread their stupid immature self-important egotistical venom.

Yeah. I really hate those people.

(I was trying to figure out why this upsets me so much, and that's what I came up with).

I'm sorry that you're having to deal with that on your site. It's like you built something beautiful, then some jerk spray paints graffiti all over it. I hope you aren't too bummed about it.

I've always found that the stories you've chosen to archive are extraordinarily well-written.
