Seriously, some people...

[wiseheart]

... Only read to pick a story apart. I've just got a long comment to a fairly old story, Still Not in Kansas, listing the eurrors i've supposedly made by trying to blend Star Trek and Babylon 5 technology. I mean, seriously, it is a frigging AU, and it is fictional tech, who cares if the comm badges would work or not? I care for plot and characterization mainly, of course I try to get the technology right, but who can tell if I really made a mistake or the "expert" reader only believes so, and frankly, who cares? They didn't have a good word to spare for the story itself...

I've blocked the selfless-important idiot and hope that thes time the blocking would actually work... it does not always. Such people can kill my joy in writing, really.

Edit: This idiot is unbelievable. Now that i've blocked them from leva ing signed reviews, they are writing anonymous ones with their imaginary error lists. A good thing that I moderate anonymous reviews.

They had scientific concerns about the functioning of fictional coms in a fiction you wrote? I see. That is bizarre. Really bizarre. Some commentors are simply nuts, I don't think there is any other explanation.

I hope the blocking works and quickly.

It does make me wonder about them. Why are they spending time on a story that they have so many objections to unless their goal is to look for stories they can complain about, in which case, how do they find them? That would be a lot of reading to locate something one can get nasty about! As irritating as their behaviour is, it seems so pathetic as to not be worth the effort of being irritated at them. Unfortunately, muses are delicate creatures. *sigh* I hope something lovely happens to counteract the negativity this malicious reader has injected into your day.

Sorry you had to deal with that again! *hugs*

Oh my, the commentor really is totally bizarre. S/he is now leaving anonymous lists correcting the fictional science in your fictional world? Honestly, I'm wordless. Don't let this dissuade you. HUGS.

Some fandoms seem to draw the obsessive types and I do think it's mostly males. I think they live in their own world--they can't write themselves, but they also can't stand it when your world doesn't exactly match theirs. I'm sure they do this to other authors in the fandom, how utterly obnoxious. Maybe one day they'll get a life, but I'm not sure...

Don't let them get you down, you're such a good writer!

Wow!
Everyone has a choice to continue reading or move on if they don't like what they read.
I think majorshane just wants people to to say how smart they are...at least, that's what I get from reading those technical posts.
majorshane & Difdi just completely miss the point of fan-FICTION!
Idiots both.

I, for one, love that you're able to combine two different series so well.

*hugs* Some people just have too much time, if this is the way they spend it! Hope they move on soon and leave you alone.

Argh! Life is too short to have to deal with idiots...
