"Nice" comment, "nice, festive mood"

Just found this lovely comment on my first story:

you little coward are rubbish! Go trash yourself please!

I just wonder who is the coward? There can be little doubt that it's a person that is aware of the fact that I withdrew my story from the Halloween "contest" by turning off comments and voting in response to the voting shenanigans going on (even if it still is listed as an HC entry, something it should not be).

PS. I will not delete this comment but carry it as a badge of honour, just like the "bulldyke effluvia"-one I received earlier.

PPS. There is someone who harps on about how my story should be removed (with which I agree) because it receives far more attention by being listed as an HC entry. That is a Bologna sausage made from hogwash! My first story had 11,000+ views over the first weekend, "Finally We Are One" has barely gotten above 5,000 in a week. Facts are facts.

Keep giving the idiots targets and they will strike.

If they think they can run you off they will keep trying.

If you turned off comments where did this come from? Or was this a private feedback?

Looking at the oh, so intelligent comment and the angst behind it my guess was this was someone planning on putting up a nasty public comment then got pissed when he found he couldn't.

In the end-as long as people don't mind losing out on the good comments they can get from anonymous or anyone else-there is no better way to piss off a troll than taking away their ability to do it.

But TX Rad has a point, something like this does feed them and shows that it slipped under your skin. Well, at least that's the consensus. I've on occasions posted a comment I've gotten, but usually only when I know it was someone from here anyway and want to show that I know.

Its all stupidity plain and simple, but everyone buys into it at some point in some way even if its the end result of a bad day and anyone who denies they ever have is full of crap

I believe I'm the only one who suggested that your withdrawn contest story should be taken off the special contest listing, and I didn't harp on it. I mentioned it once. Can you show where the harping is? I can assure you that I haven't looked at any of your stories and I didn't leave the comment you refer to (or any other comment or vote) and hint that it was me who left it. I think you continue to show that you are over the top in your reactions--which includes jerking your story from the contest at the slightest suggestion (not from me, although you accused me of doing it) that it wasn't worth a 6.

If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman to hear, is he still wrong?

Pssst....don't talk about contest issues, you'll get the thread closed.

I didn't realize the latest one was closed. I think I noted on that one that Freddie was obviously trying to get it closed. But, instead, two of Freddie's posts were deleted by the moderator and the thread went on for a while.

I don't care if this one gets closed. I'll call out unfounded innuendo against me whatever happens to the thread.

The previous thread was created to discuss contest issues in a place that wouldn't disrupt the main contest support thread.

Laurel closed it when she decided it had devolved into little more than back and forth sniping.

As this thread started with a backhanded accusation and is little else, it will now be closed as well.

If you wish to have a discussion about contest issues that are not appropriate for the support thread, feel free to start a new thread for it. Such a thread will have the same higher level of tolerance as one I create when I split such discussions off from the main thread.
