There is noise on another site about one of my stories, and people there are wondering why that would bother me.

Normally, it wouldnt, because I have nothing to do with that site, and have nothing posted there, and my one-time offer of a story was refused without comment.

The rub is this: if I'm not posted there, and not allowed to post there, then why is it legitimate for people I don't know, and have never heard of, to criticize my work as if it was hosted on that site, right beside their own works?

What would it be like to them if I found another obscure site, and posted book reviews of their own works, and they are not allowed to join?

Some writers claim they can't write without continuous praise, but I'm not one of them. Is that so hard to understand? I'm a happy person, content in real life, and I don't need stroking to write stories. I like telling stories, and there is nothing more to it.

It's been suggested on this particular site, that if I don't want my work torn to shreds by people I don't know, on sites I never heard of, I shouldn't post at all.

I could do that, but it's not my preference. They could shut their yaps, too.

I have no ego when it comes to my stories. I just tell them, get them out, and go on to the next. I don't need reinforcement, nor do I deserve damnation.

I am really and totally sick of getting flak for writing what I see as benign stories about life in my world.

If your life is worse, don't try to bring me down, because you won't.

Read my stories if you like, enjoy them if you do, and stop if you don't, but please don't take me to task on a site I know nothing of.

I know that some people like my stories and cheer me on, but the crvboy site is the place to do that, not here, and certainly not somewhere I'm not even allowed.
