Ah, the fun of people not quite comprehending you and the way you normally post/speak/rant, etc when they were linked or someone on their flist took offence...
Remember the headers rant? It got linked a few places as 'amusing to read'. Unfortunately, the people I named also saw it and took it the wrong way. And a couple of their mates came over a bit defensive and in mood for 'what did you say to hurt my friend?' (whilst also agreeing with me on the headers subject) Explained, they went 'oh' (it also seems they didn't get the Dickens comparison), and hopefully it's got back to the original people. hoo boy. They can't link me to the other person because the post was locked.
note to self and other people : I have ridiculously thick skin, communicate by snark and sarcasm, and expect others to do so too. And always, always cite specific examples. And yes, what I say about you in my journal I will be quite happily telling you to your face in front of the entirety of wembley arena. if anything I'm less vicious in my journal.
:ponders what kind of comments I'd get if I announced an anonymeme one day: it occurs to me that most of them have already told me their issues to my face.

But hey if you're going to offer your fic up to the public you have to have a thick enough skin not to get all desperately upset if someone offers up a critical comment or two.

Date: 2008-03-05 02:14 pm (UTC)I have one gripe with you. Why don't you Mutually-Friend? I've been on your Flist forever. You know me for-real (only maybe you don't ..... Silver Arrow in Swindon where you looked like Xena-warriorprincess at the Sunday-night 80s disco; and doubtless the consequential Legend stuff - I'm a part-time part of AddiesFaction). TDIR? RoS slash on your pre-LJ website? .....

Date: 2008-03-05 05:30 pm (UTC)This is the understatement of the year, tho since we've only just hit March I'm sure you'll do better later. When the next nuclear holocaust is announced I am hiding under your arse with the cockroaches, Dolly Parton, Keith Richards and a lifetime's supply of twinkies.
You are also my inspiration for each and every argument, discussion or debate I have, ever, because of it. I wouldn't have you any other way because you're far more entertaining like this.
Realising this comment is probably far too flattering I'll make it up in added snark at the next convention.
