Freaking out over bad reviews and bad spelling is apparently universal...
This one was slipped under my virtual door by one of the many lovely Jens I hang out with. Thank you, oneoftheJens!

PublishAmerica.com is a site where people pay to get their unsellable crap masterpieces made into books so they can beg their friends and relatives to buy copies. It seems like a generally friendly place, but it's inevitable that a drama queen would arise...

Meet Diana Hignutt. Diana is apparently one of the site's BNWs (Big Name Writers), and she thinks very highly of her own work. So highly, in fact, that a mild negative review sends her into a highstrung little tizzy of stamping feet and tossing mane. Don't miss the bit about four messages down where she decides that she's being persecuted for being a post-op transsexual. *patpat* There there, honey. There there.

That one's fairly short and a lot of the responders tell her to chill, so you might just want to keep an eye out for the slobbering sycophants and the wah-wah-me-toos. Consider it a zesty entree. Now! Ready for the dry, grey, gristly main course? Take a look at this one. It's a 190+ message thread about SPELLING MISTAKES. IMHO, this one's beautifully wanky for the sheer grinding never-ending SHUT UP ALREADY factor. I certainly could not get through it all. Ouch...
