You may not be aware. But you are asking rude questions to a stranger in public. I won't ask someone I don't know about "how much money are you making?" or "how is your love life?"

You indirectly asked that and insisted to focus on discussing her private life instead of her writings. Even a fan has no rights to do the above.

P did state in her previous articles that she did not write first hand experience of her friends and herself. She repeatedly said that she suffered much from this ungrounded belief and did not welcome people to discuss that again. I don't think she overreacted about this. I just feel that she was a bit disappointed.

Everyone gets something from reading a book. A person may think that the most valuable lesson learned was the theory that the story must be the real live experiences of the writer or writer friends and relatives. If so, it is like reading entertainment news, not fictions and novels. I am not a keen entertainment news reader and won't ask whether the news are true.

I think there are a lot of areas that are more worth discussing about a writing, e.g. the characters, the plots, the dialogues and the originality and feelings of the readers, etc, instead of private life of the writer.

I wrote in my previous messages repeatedly that respect is a lost art. It really is.
