FunnyBuns She didn't say those exact words, but she implied it. I never once said she said words like that, I merely stated she was that kind of person which can be seen by her statements.
She implied NOTHING of that sort. I explained to you what she meant. Perhaps you might want to pull your head out of your arse and consider that you are the one going around misinterpreting what others have said? Given how you have so totally misinterpreted the First Amendment's Freedom of Speech, I am not surprised.
FunnyBuns So please from now on quit with the bullcrap that I put words in her mouth.
You should quit with the bullcrap of accusing people of implying something that she did not said.
Again, because it seems that you simply refuse to understand what LostInFictions said, let me explain what she said. She did not imply that she supports silence people. She said that readers should understand that authors sometimes have reasons to delete comments and reviews, and if that happens, instead of pursuing it because of some pigheaded notion that you are being "silenced" or your "freedom of speech" is being threatened, you should leave it at that because it's pointless to repost. You said your piece, the writer has decided that he or she doesn't want to hear it. So what's the point of reposting, other than forcing your opinion on the writer?
This is already explained by LostInFictions earlier, but you are so wrapped up by the whole silencing nonsense that you failed to remember it, or you just refused to understand it. The writer could be depressed, or he or she doesn't like the negativity, or he/she doesn't agree with the opinion, so he/she removed it. Is he/she right in doing so? Maybe, maybe not. Does it matter? But the moment you start spamming and reposting, you are basically forcing your opinion on other people. I already brought up the analogy earlier - if a girl wants you to stop calling her, STOP CALLING HER! Are you going to force her to take your calls even though she doesn't want to talk to you?
There are also other reasons why the author may want to remove your review. It might be pullng down his or her overall rating. You reposting it with 3.5 stars will keep pulling down the rating. Is it dishonest? Of course it is. Do I agree with such actions? No. But what are you achieving by reposting the review over and over again? At that point, it becomes harassment and not a stand for honesty. If the author wants to be dishonest, then, quite frankly, there is very little you can do about it. Perhaps talk about it in the forums or in Discord, but spamming the same review over and over again is NOT the solution.
The author might disagree with your "constructive criticisms", might think you are making false assumptions about the work, or that you depicted the story inaccurately. For example, some guy coming in and whining about a story having toxic relationships, even though the author himself does not think there is any toxic relationship in the story. Of course he would delete it because he feels it is an inaccurate review of his story. Are you claiming that you have the right to repost a hundred times and pretend that it's within your freedom of speech and it's not harassment? That's just nonsense.
FunnyBuns I wish you would stop being stubborn.
I wish YOU would stop being so stubborn.
FunnyBuns A reader doesn't have a right to spam as that can be harassment depending on the circumstances
Reposting the same thing over and over again IS harassment. Calling a girl again and again even though she hangs up on you every single time IS harassment. It's the same principle. Until you can accept such a simple fact, there is no point in continuing.
MaxwellKHA You're debating with authors.
I am not an author.
