That review I gave yesterday...

A few days ago I mentioned how someone had asked me to review their story. Specifically, Rancid Melody said:

Erm.. however much I enjoy reading parody OT fics, I've written an actual one that I'm relatively sure is not bland.. It's called 'Destination Unknown' and I really would like an opinion if you don't mind glancing over it... please?

Yesterday, I reviewed the story. ( My review )

My review didn't have much praise, in part because there really isn't much to praise. I was, however, mainly polite and tried to phrase things as questions rather than just stating something was stupid. Despite the fact the story was not good.

Today I get an email with the subject line of Thank You For Your 'Constructive Criticism'

I believe that it's not polite to show emails to other people, because I consider them to be private. However, this particular example was just too much. You want to be an outright idiot, you lose your rights to any courtesy.

Normally I'm reasonably civil in emails, but her condescending 'look hun' attitude was enough for me to decide that wasn't necessary this time. Internet Etiquette Rule #258: do not talk down to someone above you. They may respond by dropping anvils.

Since I responded to her line by line, here's the email and my response. She's bold. The original review that she was responding to is marked with >>

Ah, I feel so refreshed. Tearing up people who annoy me is thereputic.
