This is ridiculous. The IM bunch have turned sour. I'm not clear what exactly is the cause...there's something about taking criticism on your writing (or rather *not* being able to take it, and finding it demoralising) and some actions which have been taken as rude and against nettiquette.
It goes something like this. This is all on a yahoogroup message board. PersonA was feeling distressed by the lack of appreciation of A's stories or something and was depressed. A Deleted A's posted stories from the board. PersonB who is listmanager got cross at the infringment of B's rights by such an action, as B feels B should have been notified or asked to do this. Anyway a bunch of others have since been dragged in because the issue of crits or not (the technical point of the group)or a more relaxed atmosphere is something felt by others. Besides its a close group and tempers and tears are running high.
Thus my tears. PersonB set me off. Among others. They're all acting loopy. I want to break ties with them. Except so much of my internet time has been spent recently with them and so much fun chat has been had.
It's like other bits of my life except siller.
