This is off the PR board. The stuff in quotes are her words. Everything else is mine:

"It's easy for those who haven't experienced such occurances to say things reflecting what they don't, understand. People can say it's whinning, say it's ranting, or it's carrying on, but for those who haven't had the outcome, it's quite easy to say the above."

I have, and I stand by my statements. And implying that I haven't is crap. You're not the only one in the world who's been hurt or betrayed or stabbed in the back, or any of that, so don't act like you're some poor martyr all alone, because you're not. Life sucks, people hurt you. Welcome to life. I've had the same thing happen to me that you say happened to you. People who I trusted and defended turned around and bit me in the ass and betrayed me and my confidences, and it hurt me deeply, and I cried. But I didn't moan "Oh, woe is me! I am hurt so terribly by those I thought I could trust! Oh, poor me!" And I don't go saying to people "Until you know what it's like, don't say anything", because it's a good bet if they're my age, they have.

"Only those who truly experienced the hurt and sadness of betrayal, can safely announce their actual opinions."

Good, then I can safely announce my opinions. Glad to have your permission to do that.

"But of course, people who take vengence against another because they claim to "see them for who they are", also will say mean things against the victim because the think/believe that person deserves everything they receive and shouldn't feel hurt or pain."

Maybe they *do* see you for who you are. Ever thought that? I'm just making a general comment that's not meant for anyone or anything in particular. And who's to say it's vengance? And maybe what they say which is seen as mean may also be truth. And, in your case, when many, many people are saying the same thing, maybe it's not nasty and baseless, but true. Yeah, it can hurt. No one said it wouldn't, nor do I think that those you feel are taking vengance on you think that what is said won't hurt. You're so (in)famous in the realm of fanfiction that they put up a page with your stories and many of your rants. Was it rude? Yeah, it could be considered rude. I won't deny that. But the opinions people draw of you from that page are based on your writings and rants you've put online. They are your own words. I have read some of your Zelda fics, and I've read some of your rants. I have formed my view based solely on your own words, including the ones posted here. So if you're pissed that people don't like you, don't point the blame at others. Maybe they've read enough of your own writings and posts that they've drawn their opinions based on what *you* said, and not what others have said. We're not all mindless zombie lemmings who follow anyone who tell us which way to go. The majority of us think for ourselves. So stop complaining about how you're always the victim, always wronged, and get a clue: often, it's YOU. Your own attitude, as it comes through in your own words. Your refusal to graciously accept constructive criticism, your constant "Oh, I'm such a victim! Pity me!" attitude, your constant double standard where you'll plagerize others (that's using their work without giving credit, and that includes putting their stuff on your webpage without permission), but then screaming to high heaven when someone does it to you. It's called hypocricy, and people don't like it. So suck up and face reality, Jen. You're paranoid. The world is not actually out to get you. Tilly is not trying to mastermind a quest to turn everyone against you. She has better things to do with her time than think about you constantly. Like do housework, watch TV, run errands, clip her toenails, watch the grass grow. You're not as important to people as you'd like to think you are.
