I just...having someone come in and say "you're a horrible writer, fuck you and everything you do"- over and over and over- really explodes that sense of fellowship you get with your lj buddies- the fellowship that lets you share your work , which for most people is very sensitive. I know it's hard for me to put my work out there, even silly little stuff. And it makes me so, so angry when someone takes that sense of safety away.
Words have power. Particularly on paper or the screen, which allows for less nuance in communication. Be careful.
In conclusion!
(Also, I may have been singing "wikki-wikki-World War 2" in my head at work today.)
