I don't want to butt in or get in between. But maybe an outside voice might help. In my life people have spent a lot time, proving how sensitive they can be. Criticism, should be a tool to help someone, not an ax to chop someone down. My mother was around for quite a while ( she passed at 89 ), and she always had a simple answer. If you can't say anything nice don't say anything. If you can't look in a mirror and say to yourself what you want, and you know wht you mean. How can you say the samething to another. We can't crawl into each others mind, we don't know, what kind of stress they are under, personal or otherwise. And you know what, so what! if we are not being treated as well as we like in the world, isn't it up to each of us create a more positive image. Life is too short, to be going around fighting every battle, if you don't like what or how someone writes, go to the next story. I know of many stories, I have read here and other places, where the plot line has changed...to something, I didn't want to read about. So, I stopped and found another with plot lines, I liked. Some have even been because of blogs I have read. So in the words, of that famous, although deported, "Let us not mess a good thing", Lucky Luciano, RIP. Love, Mary.
