Hey there,
I just wanted to offer you some advice (and I can see that others have tried to do the same, but I'll add my two cents).
You've been commenting on my stories for months. I've LOVED your sharp comments on 'Emerging Swan' -- you've made me snort, because I couldn't tell that, most of the time, your comments, while somewhat excessive in the swearing, were all in good humour, and you were perfectly polite when I replied to you, and you then replied to me. (And, honestly, I swear so much in my books that it would be incredibly hypocritical of me to comment on that. Side note, though -- I completely understand that some authors don't like it. And that's their right. My stories are targeted at an older audience. They're about more mature topics. Other people target their books at a wider audience, where excessive swearing in the comments sections should be avoided. You can tell from the tone of the book whether it's a more mature book, or suitable for younger readers, too. Try to gear your comments accordingly.)
However, you read another of my books, recently. And I wasn't impressed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not offended, but the tone of your comments was less than stellar. I replied to several, and, frankly, it took me a while to recognise who you were. You've never left me comments like that before, but, clearly, it's something you do quite often to other authors. And it's not okay. It is not okay to be rude to people who put their time into writing. Criticise, yes, but in a kind, constructive manner. Your comments aren't helpful. At all. They're harmless but fairly useless at best, and downright offensive at worst. I've scrolled through some of the comments you've left other people. 'She deserves the slap' -- really? A protagonist deserves to be physically assaulted? Do you realise how offensive those sorts of comments are to people? Especially people who have been victims of physical assault.
