Epic rant behind the tag. Don't like, don't read!

Some people on FF.Net really piss me off! Here I am, finally finding my way back to "Kansas 2 - The Yellow Brick Road", my epic Babylon 5/ST:Voyager x-over trilogy. So much that after five years, I've finally figured it out all and started posting regularly again.

And then there is this person who has the story on alert (perhaps on their favourite list, too) and hadn't left a single comment so far. Until now. Until they think they found an error, a false interpretation or simply something they don't agree with. Now they comment to point out the error of my ways. And in a signed review, too, so that it can't be removed.

Never mind that I'm writing a crossover here, merging two different universes, so some things are naturally a bit different than in canon. Never mind that the Voyager gang are in a situation they've never been before. Never mind that I use something from book canon that naturally leads to results never seen in the TV series. Never mind that I might actually have a reason to change things; a reason that might be revealed in a later chapter.

No, I'm obviously wrong and must be lectured. Because someone who couldn't be arsed to say something encouraging in five years, now finally saw their moment of importance coming.

This calls for the Buliwyf icon. Hopefully, he has his sword still, so I can send him on a mission of vengeance.

It's always annoying when people only comment to criticize over some minor issue. I had that happen a few times. On "Truth and Consequences," my Kavanagh story from awhile back I clearly stated at the beginning of the fic that he didn't have a canon first name at the time so I created my own. Someone left a review that simply said, "His name is Peter." Thanks, that was so helpful.

I think some people just look for things to complain about. I only leave reviews when I really like a story. Sorry that happened to you. It's frustrating.

I like it even more when share with me a piece of oh so useful info they heard from a producer on a convention or read in some borderline non-canon book and treat it if it were the Holy Scripture.
