[Stares open-mouthed at screen] Is this ‘community' of online writers really so fucked-in-the-head that people would SHAME others over how they choose to interract with comments? Like a bunch of whiney, entitled teenagers?

Some writers will engage with comments, some won’t, big deal.

This piece has (horrifyingly) opened my eyes to the nastiness on this platform. Yuck.

I remain super-grateful for Shannon’s honest perspectives (and chuckled quietly when I saw that Tim Denning had commented…. And Shannon had read his comment: GOLD!)
