Being steamrolled.

[ladydrace]

Today I posted on fanficrants  and apparently my post was nothing short of a mortal sin. We're now in the 80's in number of comments and only about 5 of them have been remotely kind. The rest seem to find it extremely offensive that something I don't know a lot about annoys me. Heck I even asked for advice if anyone knew better than me!

I want to leave, since it's seriously bringing me down that so many people deliberately twist my words and try to make me look bad. But I hate to just leave without defending myself. I'm being stupid aren't I? I bet I'm just feeding their flaming frenzy by replying at all. I should really just leave and leave them to think I'm a stupid bitch. They already seem to think that anyway.

I'm an idiot.

Edit: Ok, I left. I suddenly remembered that it's not just me being affected by this. By stressing out over this, I'm affecting the Green Pea! And I will not allow that to happen to preserve my pride or whatever!

Oh, there are mean comms out there. I got blasted in a political com for a minor infraction. I know it hurts in the moment, but don't pay the least bit of attention to it. You did the right thing -- you just leave.

People who are needlessly mean and rude are stunted people who need to put others down to feel better about themselves. Just pity them, and know how much better a person you are.

And if I ever hear you trashing yourself, I'll come over there and slap you silly. -- No, I won't. I'll just give you a big hug and tell you how great you are. There may be chocolate involved, too. :D
