The Peanut Gallery
April 11th, 2008
I am reminded of that old school yard refrain, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!”
I finally got it today, my first piece of heckling, to probably one of the most innocuous posts on this site, The Game of Life, someone commented that I was making things up and using “unusual words” to do it…
Well, at least I got a complement in there, it’s nice for a writer to hear she’s using “unusual” words.
I deleted the comment, naturally… It was aggressive and had cursing in it… So why bring it up here? You wouldn’t even have known about it unless I called attention to it.
I’m a little surprised, because the post was so benign, and because I didn’t realize the reach of the internet and this blog… So, I guess that’s compliment #2…
But the biggest reason for mentioning it is that I thought it’d sting more… and it really doesn’t… And that makes me happy… because I feel like that was an initiation of sorts… and the comments are only gonna get more pointed from here, but so what?
Some people will just “get” my work, and some won’t… and that’s it!

Wow…I went back to look at the post in question…it was so optimistic and wonderful. Whomever wrote a nasty comment must have a sour view of life.
