"Bullshit" comments?

[3113]

We all get strange comments now and then, this one pretty much floored me.

It's from my new story: Down to the Bone Ch. 01

Look closely at the title. Now here's the comment I got:
"Bullshit. Why didn't you finish the story?"



Am I missing something here? Is it me?

Anyone else ever gotten something like this?

 

[Aurora Black]

What the hell was that about?

No, it's not you. It's not any of us. Some folks just don't know what they're talking about. Someone has asked me why I never finished a project, but it was done in a friendlier way.

 

[CharleyH]

My theory is if a person can't read the title, can you listen to their comment? I also believe you people complain too much about comments - like who cares?

The reader failed to see the Ch. 01. I looked, and it's not like you did the whole "really short chapter" thing, which is a pet peeve of mine. Basically, the commentor was wrong.

*slips in, covering her mouth, hiding the laugh*

Wow. Amazing. *giggles* I do love people!

Sorry for the loss of that brain cell. I know when people say stupid things to me, I lose intelligence in the bargain.

Sorry, being glib, in a silly mood. I honestly don't think people pay all that much attention to titles... it's the descript that gets em and pulls em in. I reckon *teehee* that it was actually a compliment, in a backwards way. They were so drawn in by your story, they needed more. And thats not glib. That's genuine

*slips back out, covering her butt on the way, fearing a butt kicking, giggling anyway*

giggling LOL - ok, so it's a heady laugh.

It's just like the television...there's a knob there for brightness but it doesn't seem to work!

Need a pillow to absorb the blows?

 

[d4rk4ngel]

rofllllllllllll omg... yeah, yeah I think so... pillow required.. this girl is in a MOOD!

LOL! Okay. That's a great way to look at it. I'll turn my frown upsidedown.



And honestly, I'm not complaining. I figure if I allow comments, then I've just got to suck it up and deal with what I get. If you open the door to guests then you can't complain if some forget to wipe their feet. But sometimes, there are...amusing observations that you've just gotta share and I felt this was one of them.

If it's the tag-line description folk go for rather than titles then, damn. I'm gonna have to come up with better tag-line descriptions.

*directs a happy, silly grin* There you have it ladies and gentlemen. This 4ngel is not as useless as she appears!

Glad I could help,or whatever it is that I did. I just WISH people would leave me comments. At least then I would know where I stand!

Useless? No one said that. You just got here, for goodness sake! We need more time to form that opinion...

Oh it'll happen. Trust me, it will!

*continues the giggle helplessly*

I concur, but I have not read her sex stories, yet ... so ...

 

[d4rk4ngel]

oh hell, now what have I done. *kicks herself mumbling "They liked you, 4ngel... now they're going to read you're stuff... way to remain hidden, dumbass!" and slips out, hiding*

*chuckle*

I got feedback from a guy who gave me a 1 because he didn't like the ENDING of my story. The ending was two more chapters down the line [I was in the Survivor Contest and needed more chapters to fill in a category.] When the ending did make it through Laurel's review two days later, he admited that it was not the ending he foresaw.

OK, I answered your question. Now you can answer my question. Why is murder against the law in the situation I just described? TIA!

Well, it has to be against the law to maintain the illusion of order and peace. BUT I suspect that if you did commit murder in that case, no jury would convict.

Is this the fucking FBI or something?

Using this thread to share what is either the most absurd or outrageous feebback I've ever received. I suppose I will ignore this, or maybe report it to Laurel:

"Hello. well that story of urs relly hits the spot. but u kno wat i wanna ask u?
Can i see u in person sometime and see u do all this or...wit me well? maybe a manaja twag could be arragned. And i kno ur curious. Im 14. But as they say age ain nothin but a number. so wat do ya say huh?"

 

[FallingToFly]

That is.... disturbing. And disgusting. And appallingly bad from an editor's standpoint. What the hell are the school systems teaching kids? And where the hell are this kid's parents?

I think you should report it to Laurel...because if he *is* 14 then he's not allowed on the site, and if he's not, then he deserves to be kicked off for claiming to be one (and for writing really, really badly!).

I concur on all points, and have done so.
