To the Asshole Anon sending me death threats. I'm not actually going to send this to you, because don't feed the trolls. However I am going to write this out
Never seen an author answer guest reviews after the story? It's not new, though it is rare for me to do so. It is possible to correct someone's spelling without insulting them, guest, if you had only pointed out typos, that's one thing, and would have been fine. I would have fixed them, maybe said ty for catching that, and we both would have been much less annoyed over this encounter.

Hello again Anon. I know you once said it was odd to reply post-chapter, but I promise you, it's not uncommon for authors to reply that way to guests, as there is no other way of communication. I had said I would not address you again, but last time I used the term flame, and realized you may not have known what it meant. A flame is a review that attacks the author. Such as, in your latest review " I hope you'll hang yourself one day."
So to clarify, your comments were not deleted for pointing out spelling errors, you are not the first to point out spelling mistakes and I doubt you will be the last. Your comments were deleted for remarks you made, such as the quoted example above.
If you dislike the story, all you have to do is close the tab. If you would like to correct spelling mistakes, then please leave the trash talk out of it. You do not need to try to demoralize someone when offering feedback.
Hopefully this feedback will help you when reviewing other stories. I delete the Anon flames. I sadly can not delete flames from signed in reviewers as fanfiction is mess, but it is still the platform I know best.

Thanks for the vent space. I'm letting people post comments in case they want the same thing, a place to put the reply to the trolls that they will not send, because they know better then to offer them attention. Not reading them, but glad I got that off my chest

Only thing i want to say is dont let them get away threatening you. Turn them into police or something. Make a police report and site report. That's not cool at all.
ReplyThank you for your concern friend. Its not fun to receive. But there's not really much I can do beyond delate it. That's the double edged sword of anonymous online reviews, people can choose to hide behind the anonymity and be an asshole consequence free, as anons are not supposed to be traceable.
The main damage is psychological, if I let it. I know they can not carry out their death threats, much as it might suck to receive them. So I deleted them, and wrote this to say things to them that I won't, as to reply would only tell them that they are being listened to, and encourage them to escalate.
Writing this, helps me work through my upset and emotionally move past them.
If it were real life, I would make a report, thanks for advising that, you have peoples backs with that kind of encouragement.
But for an anonymous threat from someone who won't even leave a fake name, writing about it to vent my frustration is probably the best I'm going to get.
Thank you for listening, friend
