Maybe the reason I’m convinced there’s no nasty people on the forum is that I am the nasty person.

No you’re not.  I’ve given you a lot of opportunities to make jokes at my expense or insult me, and you haven’t done so.  As for accidental awkwardness, I do that all the time.

Speaking of which…

I’ll also say that the majority by far of the “Oh, gods, delete my account now, man!” emails I got were from readers only, not writers.

I’m sorry.  I didn’t mean to annoy you, BronxWench.  I was just trying to make a guess based on my own personal experience.  As it happens, I’m honestly not even sure why you’d need an account just for reading (unless you’re really dedicated to reviewing stories that don’t allow anonymous reviews).  Again, sorry if I bothered you.

You can tell if you’ve really upset BronxWench around the time a Banshee begins shrieking on your roof.

I’m not upset at you at all! Sorry if it seemed that way, but it was one of those things last year that was endlessly frustrating. In the scheme of things, it wasn’t a big deal although we had a few people who wanted to make it more than it was. Quite frankly, I was a LOT more worried about the big players—Equifax, banks, phone companies—because those guys DO have data on me. AFF is not in possession of any information that will lead back to me without some effort, and even then, I’m not all that worried about people knowing where I play and read. I’m too damned old to care what they think about me.
