I normally wouldn’t have commented, but it was just so mean spirited to tell an author of *fiction* that they were wrong. I suppose it triggered something in me, because they don’t even realise how absolutely insulting they are being. I’ve been so tempted to write a zine of “How to Talk to Artists.”

It works consist of two pieces of advice: Say “I like your work.” Not I love what you do, but I’d never wear that. Or you should.. And if you don’t like it, don’t say anything within hearing distance of the artist. Or just ask yourself why you need to say something negative so badly.
