So first of all, hi. lol.
I guess it's appropriate as ever that I comment on this topic first.
I've come to the conclusion that these people who set out to hurt others and hide behind anonymity are A. Cowards and B. Have nothing in their lives which leads them to make other people miserable so that they don't feel bad. I've also come to see that a lot of people are jealous, which then makes them retaliate.
I don't understand it. As writers, we are all creative and wonderful people. Shouldn't we be supporting and encouraging that creativity rather than trying to ruin someone's joy?
What concerned me about this troll in particular though, was that s/he was looking up my personal info and posting obscene things about myself and another user even to the point of accusing us of being the same person, which is flattering in a way since he's a wonderful writer but also insulting because it was insinuating that we would create two separate accounts to boost our review count.
Before I ever wrote for Shenny, the most I'd ever gotten review wise was 100 reviews on a story. Believe me. Reviews are not the reason I write. I write because I love to write, for me.
But I'm not angry with that troll anymore. I just feel sorry for them now because their life was so empty they had to try and make mine miserable. I really hope they've found the satisfaction they were looking for.
