I hate everything. I hate the world. Someone console me, because I'm stupid and depressed because someone I don't even know disabled their stupid account and it's all my fault and I cried over the morons who I can't help but love.

BLAH BLAH BLERG! WAAAAAH!!!!!

*sighs*

Don't worry, dear, I cry all the time.

I'm sure it's not your fault, don't be depressed, there will be others on the Harry Potter site!

Only your own actions are ever "all your fault." Unless you were viciously insulting to the person, I doubt you were the main cause of that person disabling their account.

I can sympathize with you being upset, but don't feel like this is all your fault. Don't hate the world for this; everyone (including you...I assume) lives in the world.

(Double posts are fun.)

If you gave reasons to the person why you thought that, don't think that it's your fault.

You remind me of another person I know. She's always apologizing and always thinks it's her fault. To both of you: IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!

Hope you feel better about all this soon. Otherwise we won't have the bright ray of sunshine (or is is glint of phoenix fire?) that is Sakka-Fenikkusu, and the site will be a little colder for that.

They're insanely in love. It's really weird.

Sure, I gave reasons.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!

Okay. Just this once, I'll consider that tiny possibility. :) Thanks, Will (I was under the impression that you really didn't like me).

Hope you feel better about all this soon.

I've mostly gotten over it, in that one, very whiny day. Still stings a tiny bit.

But since Rab says it sounded serious, it sounded serious. *bangs head against wall*

Uhh... you okay there Champ?

I didn't know if you were kidding, some people cry over that kind of thing plus you made a topic about it so I assumed it was serious...Sorry if I took that wrong.

Don't know why you thought that. Really. I don't dislike anyone on this site (except Daylight Darkness for acting dumbly).

I thought you were being serious about this too. Well, not completely serious. I know (most) exaggeration when I see it.

I DID cry over it. The rest of the 'rant' was bullshit, though. _

Don't know why you thought that. Really. I don't dislike anyone on this site (except Daylight Darkness for acting dumbly).

I'm just silly. I think everyone hates me.

Ick. I need to be less silly.

Anyone who hates someone without provocation is pitiful. Anyone who hates someone because that someone called them out for being annoying or mean (*cough*DaylightDarkness*cough*) is beneath pitiful.

Oh uhhh... okay then. Sweet.

Now I'm confused. Did you want comfort or just attention? Or both?

I cried today, but that was because I was really tired, and was kinda annoyed because I got upset that someone mega-critiqued me. (I'm wierd. I didn't cry over the critique, I just got angry, then felt stupid about getting angry, then just was depressed. Does that make any sense? Or do other people live like that too?)

Yay! Not-hating friend! I don't see you as hating anyone. I could see you getting annoyed (Like at me, who doesn't know anything about poems yet still feels complied to talk about them), but you don't come across as hating. You're just very polite, so maybe she took it as a sort of coolness, like when you're not speaking to people. I guess . . .

who doesn't know anything about poems yet still feels complied to talk about them

I don't like when people say someone can't critique a piece of literature or poetry or art or music or whatever because that person "doesn't have enough experience" in that field. Often if someone makes an artistic work, they want people other than experts to be able to understand their work. So critique away. On this site, you get even better train; the poets that respond to your reviews, if they're quality poets, will indirectly give you feedback on how well you critique. And of course, you get the practice of reviewing poetry, and you get to understand the form that way.

Sometime's it's good to at least have some kind of experience, because how are they going to critique well if they don't know anything about the subject or whatnot...

The husband of one of my former teachers had gone to an art gallery. After he commented negatively on one of the pieces, another person (friend? stranger? I forgot) told the husband he could not comment on that piece because he did not have the formal art education that that person had.

Extreme example, but it gets the job done. There are completely clueless people that need to read/see/hear examples of the medium before critiquing. But even people that are only somewhat knowledgeable should be able to give their opinion on a piece. And of course, the creator of the piece can choose to take or ignore the advice of that critic. I mean that criticism shouldn't be some elite practice.

I don't think anyone here has considered it an elite practice at all.

Both.

One thing you learn as time goes on is how to be a hardass. In a week, this'll probably be nothing, so cheer up. If it's really your fault, then raise your head and accept it - maybe even come to rejoice in it. There's nothing wrong with wanting attention, but you want to do it in a constructive way.

True, very true. Although you'd be surprised how many people in real life do view criticism as something that must be done by experts (I know several).

It's weird, isn't it? I mean, experts can talk it up or down all they want, but they tend to overthink things and find meaning where there really isn't any and at the end of the day, poop will still smell like poop.

And thar be the new quote of the month.

Funny, I know quite a few people like that. And when you do try to tell them it isn't their fault, they STILL place blame on themselves! It's a shame, really. :/

And FenFen, I sincerely hope everything went well. :)
