Thanks pixie - as one of the hurt posters, it does help knowing that at least someone like you understands. I'll take that hug! I know that authors tend to stick together and rally support to one of their own, but us readers need to be heard too. Thanks for hearing pixie. -- Fic Recon

I didn't address that in my original post, but I will now. -- Theresa, 03:09:52 04/21/07 Sat

Theresa, I think we’re all missing the point of the ‘dissenters’ reviews. I think those who found fault with the story were posting real & true feelings, & they have the right to express those feelings. Everyone deals with death & loss differently. I posted a response on the HBX to Cece’s warning. I’m going to repost that response here, along with a further explanation. -- doc, 10:22:49 04/21/07 Sat

I didn't miss the point at all. Nor am I discounting the feelings of the people expressing them. I understand the anguish and my heart goes out to them, as well as I acknowledge their right to have and express those feelings. What I'm saying is that just because someone is understandably hurt doesn't give them the right to hurt other people. Especially so personally and in a public forum. And it's this perspective that prompted some posters to back Teacup. (NT) -- Theresa, 14:33:38 04/21/07 Sat
- I agree. I think a lot of the comments that erupted were a direct response to the personal attacks on Teacup, Had the frustration and hurt been expressed differently, and not as a personal attack on Teacup, I don't we would have seen such a hullabaloo on the board. (NT) -- JJ (Ronda)--Most people even said that they understood both sides, it was the attack that was the problem., 17:23:44 04/21/07 Sat
  - Oops. That should say "I don't *think* we would have seen" (NT) -- JJ (Ronda)--who needs to proofread *before* hitting send., 17:24:57 04/21/07 Sat
