Attached Link: Hammer2002's Short Story
I'm really shocked at the nastiness of some people in the Writers Forum. I've taken a big interest in this forum since I am a writer and artist. I've tried very hard to keep my comments brief, and use Constructive Criticism. The responses I've received from Hammer2002 are very abusive, full of threats, name calling and swearing. Those responses occurred in the forum, Instant Messaging and in email. Maybe I don't really understand the purpose of these forums? Maybe people just want to come in here and post something, and demand either tribute or silence? It seems to me the moderator would be quick to squash this kind of abusive behavior immediately. There can be no rationalization for this behavior. Here is an example of this guy's behavior. Remember I posted only two very careful posts. Each one immediately received this kind of response: "I am getting sick of Crisjon's harrassment with his self-martyring and painted interest in helping me and would like him to leave me alone. I gave him a firm warning with the IM and yes it was harsh (I'm sure the weasel with whine to you about it), but the jerk doesn't get the hint to lay off. Bottomline, he's an idiot with no talent. I have no respect from him and he's making you (Crescent), Chuck, and Ram look as if you were candy-coating things."
