oh, as usual, dear
You want to be the Next Big Thing in SF/horror? Here's some advice:
1. Don't get disgruntled about a one-sentence review of your short-story by an author/editor on livejournal.
2. Don't drop an anonymous comment on an unrelated post on his LJ advising him to kill himself.
3. Don't suggest he kill his cat, too.
4. Don't defend yourself by claiming you're an artist, and claim that said author/editor isn't actually suffering from depression.
5. Don't send nasty email to the author/editor's friends.
6. Don't then threaten his life.
The idiot is apparently a teacher. The mind reels.
Time for a masters' class in How Not to Be an Asshole on the Internet?
(H/T to nihilistic_kid, who, with james_nicoll, serves as a two-man version of Fandom_Wank for the SF/F/H pro-writing community.)

I'm gonna take TNG out for a walk and get the taste of stupid and nasty out of my mind.
