Writer's Diary - Romance Author With A Few Opinions
This post is an author’s tale of how she confronted a reviewer who did not like her book, an article published in The Guardian, and so given legitimacy.
This post was written by a man who felt his ex should continue interacting with him even though she did not want to.
I see little difference between what’s behind these two articles. In one, an author can’t get past someone’s bad review. Despite all evidence that the reviewer did not wish to be known, this author tracked down the reviewer and made contact. On multiple occasions.
In the other, a woman no longer wished to see her ex, and he writes and publishes an article in which he details why he should get what he wants.
In both, we have the words of the person who pursued a relationship despite clear evidence the other person did not wish, want, or invite the contact.
Both people have written a long justification of actions that violated the peace and privacy of another person.
Both of the people who were contacted against their will, repeatedly, were women. I don’t think that’s an accident.
People like the authors of these articles terrify me.
