Hi, my name is Mary. I'm 23 years old. I love to read and write.

I'm getting really sick and tired of flamers who are too cowardly to leave their names when the flame some one. If you have something bad to say about my work, that's fine. I respect your opinion and am sorry that you have an issue with something I wrote. However, if you feel the need to flame me, the least you can do is give me some way to contact you and defend myself. It could just very well be that you misunderstood the point. If that's not the case, then you've had the chance to speak your mind on the subject, why shouldn't I be able to speak mine. Then again, I suppose that's why flamers do what they do, because they want to cut other people down so they can feel better about themselves. Well, I'm sick of it. I don't mind flames, in fact, I think they make me a stronger writer and I won't ever stop writing because of them. However, I feel that if you have the guts to trash someone's work, then you showed have the guts to not send the comment anonymously.
