So, I haven't read the Twilight books, and don't intend to, because everything I've read about them makes me think that I would dislike them.
(Not only dislike, but be offended. Both at the poor writing and the implied attitudes.)
And yet, somehow, I don't think that the author deserves to be mocked for being upset about the leak of one of her drafts. Earning millions on sparkly vampires doesn't mean that he should just smile and say "I can't be sad because I have MILLIONS OF ILL-GOTTEN DOLLARS" when something happens that would upset most normal human beings.
If I was in the same situation, I would be upset, embarrassed, and disinclined to continue as well.
