I suppose this was to be expected.

Dear Cowards:
I understand that you have been making a fuss about a fic of mine being Niffled. You have made sure to do so where I could not answer or, if possible, even hear of it; but in such a way as to make as much trouble for the Niffler (who was simply exercising her own right to have an opinion) as possible. Is it not sad to live so wholly without honour, grace, dignity, or self-respect?

Heaven knows what purpose your existence has. I can't imagine. I would refer you to terrorism or organized crime, since your dishonesty and your methods seem suitable for that kind of work, but you are too gutless for anything violent. You crawl and twist and slither and grovel and hide away from the light and nurse your evil-smelling little feuds and your nasty passions as though they were something to be proud of.

Even worse, you make it hard for me to avoid pride. Enemies like you are a badge of honour; one does not feel any the worse about oneself when it is found that he is unpopular among moral slime. I would not even take notice of your filthy writhings, were it not that you have targeted, not me, but the Niffler in question - like the vermin that you are. Not being able to get at me, your putrid self-importance demands that someone should be made to suffer.

What is amazing about you is how true to form you run. You live and act according to the template of cowardice and immorality, every time.

Sincerely,

Fabio P.Barbieri.

P.S.: This post is locked against anonymous posters. Let's see whether I can force any of you to act, for once in her lifetime, like a human being.

If people don't want to be called names, they should try not to deserve them. I said it before, and I'll say it again; taking out one's grudges on third parties is one of the things I do not regard as part of the definition of a human being. And consider what I said to Ayla: these are the hardcore, the unteachables, the people who would do anything rather than just let their stupid grudge go. I am not saying that consideration and good manners are something one ought to deserve; or else, none of us would ever use them with people we don't know yet. But they are things that can and should be withdrawn from people who have un-deserved them. Treat them as I would treat an ordinary, unknown member of the public? Why should I insult the ordinary, unknown member of the public to that extent?
