Public Feedback

[susurrus]

Is it just me, or was it better when we didn't get the moronic statements a lot of readers post to public feedback?

I haven't notice a marked difference in the ratio between moronic statements/brilliant ones since public feedback started.

In any case, it's not like you have to allow them or if you do, you can even delete the ones that trouble you.

I never get any moronic feedback.

Hi Harry!

Sorry, I've been really busy. Making up for lost time:

Your story gets really strange if it's read from right to left

Do the different names of characters mean they're different people?

Why don't you ever include instructions on cleaning fish? Ya got something against anglers?

You mentioned the lawn, but you never specified what color the grass is.

I think it depends on the category. Some of the categories get more moronic statements than others. [cough]Loving Wives[/cough]

I generally don't allow the public feedback.

I guess the stuff I'm talking about are the ones, when you've read a fairly decent story, then you see comments by people who make you wonder why they're even here in the first place.

Such as the clowns who mention characters getting AIDS after their exploits in the story, that kind of thing.

I just wonder sometimes why those folks bother.

They don't have lives?

They get a weird sexual charge from putting down others' work when they can't write themselves?

Yep, and the people they actually know just won't listen to them

Or read their crap.

A steady diet of lead paint chips in the house under the high tension lines, perhaps?

 

[Aurora Black]

Or their mothers (in a drunken haze) mistook them for turkeys and accidentally roasted them in the oven as babies?

Bitter because their inflate-a-date's nose wrinkles up when they pull her out of the closet and the baloonesque squeaking sounds distinctly resemble the phrase "I have a headache"?

Haven't gotten any moronic statements in public feedback yet...although I HAVE gotten moronic statements from anonymous people in my email box who then ask me to write them back...

At least if the morons are busy reading and posting their blithering, they are spending less time in procreative modes. Aside that, the moronic comments, while not as ego gratifying or encouraging to a writer, are in the long run far more useful as entertainment. To paraphrase, what do we live for except to make sport of our neigbors, and provide such for them in our turn?

Although Carver's comments just make me lurve him.

Keep an eye out, folks.

The cantakerous side of me finally came to the fore, and I wrote a story that should hopefully satisfy many of the points the public feedback people I'm talking about have brought up.

The title is "For Anonymous" in the humor/satire category.

I submitted it early last week. It's still pending, but hopefully it'll post soon.
