Hey Guys, I know I don't have many followers but this is an important PSA. I recently started reading a book by BrazilianRelish called Coming Out. Many of us who like to read books may occasionally comment about misspellings within the books. I did this and was given a very rude and offensive message in response " did I ask for your help, Sir Spellcheck? No? Didn’t think so. Keep your opinions and criticisms to yourself." When confronted about this response I was given this message " I don’t care what you think about my story, my spelling, my comments or anything else. You can go fuck yourself." Before receiving this response I also PMed the author because I figured that this was a private thing that didn't need to be posted publicly. Here is my message and their response. "I found your response very offensive and rude. It's not like a called out multiple spelling errors in your work, I have seen readers who do this. We are all human and we all make mistakes. Learn to take the comments you are given and use them to help you improve your writing. Don't throw it back into people's faces. We are trying to help you succeed and be better not being rude. I hope you read this and realize what a jerk you were to me. I have never been more insulted than I was by your comment and trust me I know what it is like to be insulted by people. Let this be a lesson to you that what you write and what you say can be hurtful.

Wow. You almost make me want to care - not. Thanks so much for PMing me, but don't bother in future because your attempt to make me feel sorry for my actions, or whatever you intended, is futile. Fuck off. I don't care what you or others think." This author has stated multiple times that they do not value our opinions. I ask you to report this user and do not support s/he in any way. While you make think I am being over sensitive about this, I do not think it is right to support an author who has no care towards their readers. Thanks for reading.
