I admit I derived amusement initially from the comments being made about her reactions over on Amazon, even went so far as to post a snippet of it in my own LJ.
But I don't get personal attacks against authors or such. I mean, if you want to dislike the author because you think she's a talentless hack or he is dragging his series on endlessly with no idea what he's doing, then fine. That's good. Do that.
But, attacking them and bringing up personal issues into the fray is just disgusting and frankly, I'm glad I stopped paying attention to the Anne Rice stuff on F_W(other than to note that, at one point, there was 666 comments, which is probably not as funny as I think it is.)
Anyway, yes, again. Dislike the author because you don't like their work, but you don't KNOW THEM and disliking them and bringing up personal matters that have no bearing whatsoever on the reasons you really don't like them is just plain wrong.
