Who is this mysterious entity who does not identify themself, yet posts vitriol as feedback upon those authors who are brave enough to submit their prose...?

Who is it that lurks among us in the shadows of cowardice, and how must they be expunged?

He's a prick!

Apparently he has a very teeny one and I doubt he knows how to use it, either.

Funny thing about that. Last night I was reading one of your stories, Good News, Bad News, 07/30/10.

[With an author I find in the New Stories list that I like, I print out a copy of their submissions page(s), to go through when I need a quick reading fix. Yours is at the top of the pile right now.]

I did have one nit to pick about an otherwise excellent story [your rendition of a Japanese broken English accent was ludicrous - word to the wise don't try to render accents in quotes, describe them "Reservation, at 7:30, Ellis, Upstairs, yes" the hostess replied in her new to the US broken English]. In the event, I didn't leave the private comment and paged back out of its start, but had I posted it, it would have been under my Tyro999 lit nym. [I left a 5.0 on my way out, though. I did say it was a nit, didn't I?]

Anonymous, that dickless, gutless wonder of a person who doesn't have anything nice to say about anyone. From his one word comments of "cuckold" to his epic non-sequitur comments about how he would have wrote the story, he plies his craft of ridiculous comments about stories he never actually read.

The little turd that leaves them lying around the haunts of us authors is but a whisper in the night, beating his 3" tool to the beat of Hooty and the Blowfish.

And I quote the song that he sings...which is about him although he doesn't know it.

Little me, my nuts are as small as pearls,
You like to laugh at me because I'm hung just like a squirrel.
Sometimes it bugs me, I'm not a bigger guy,
When I was a baby it was exactly the same size.
But there's nothing I can do,
Cause I only got a 3 inch tool.

Come home with me, have a cocktail at my place,
I gotta tell you before we get past 2nd base.
In my pants, ain't no big schwing,
But if you can find him he's a friendly little thing.
But there's nothing I can do,
I only got a 3 inch tool.
When I'm comming outta the pool,
I only got a 1 inch tool.

Sometimes I wonder if It'll ever extend,
I get embarassed when I'm hanging with my friends.
They like to razz me, I don't know why.
They get me a Happy Meal and super-size my fry.
And there's nothing I can do,
I only got a 3 inch tool.
And when I'm comming outta the pool,
I only got a 1 inch tool.

Yea, it's small but it's real cool,
I'm happy with a 3 inch tool!
I only got a 3 inch tool

Thanks! (I think!)

Hey, that was the way she actually talked, I guess I didn't translate it well. Point taken, though.

I'll always take a 5.0, though. The true stories are so much easier to write, they just flow....

In all honesty, I must say I have gotten some very nice compliments from Any Mouse.

While I've had a few, the majority have been negative in nature. Either about the story in general or me personally.

Mine are usually a question that they want answered, "Why did you write it this way instead of the way I think it should have been written?" type of thing. I'm not sure if they fully understand that I cannot reply back to them. then again they are really not missing much because my reply would have been, "Because I wanted to, so I did."

Most of the Anon. comments in LW have been negative, but others are mostly either complimentary or are questions or suggestions.

I see anonymous as the poster, I ignore whatever they have to say. I had the balls enough to put my name on the story, why can't they have the balls to put their name to the comments they make? Gutless wonders, eunuchs, the lot of them.

Speaking of which, we haven't seen your alt, DarthWhoever, around since the first little flurry.

I have no gripe with anonymous (which is a privilege the Web site gives readers just as it gives the author the privilege just to delete comments he/she doesn't like). Nearly all of the anonymous comments on my stories are complimentary. I wouldn't want to lose them.

I always read Any Mouse, although I don't usually take him or her very seriously. Sometimes it's an amusing rant and sometimes it's highly complimentary. I had one that said something like: "After I read this story, my pussy was so wet I had to change my panties." That's the kind of feedback I like to get, whether signed or not.

I agree. I get complimentary or polite comments on my stories all the time from anonymous commenters. I wouldn't want to take that privilege away from someone who feels more comfortable not revealing an ID or whatever. For the mean comments, I simply delete and move on. If it makes them feel better to lash out anonymously, so be it.

I've learned to completely disregard any comments from the omnipresent "Anonymous".

There does seem to be even more rancor and mean comments recently than there used to be.....has anyone else noticed that to be true?

 

[sr71plt]

No, I haven't noticed that. And the more you show the detractors that you don't like their comments, the more they are likely to needle you with unfavorable comments.

The bumping of a two year old thread will certainly show anonymous that no one care

Hey, I was cleaning out the archives and did a word search, what can I tell ya?

It's still a relevant topic, to see how the trend might have evolved.

Well, I don't think if myself that way, Zeb. As a "Gutless wonder", I mean.
I seldom sign in to read a story or two, but if the story made me smile, was well written and had a plot (however basic), or even got me excited,
I'll put HP at the end of my (anonymous) comments.

Exactly.
