As I could not think of another way to publish this message, I thought I put it in my profile.

I always enjoy having reviews, positive or negative, but I would like to be able to discuss things with the reviewer and I love to write replies. So it's a bit unfair to give me a review, especially a thoroughly negative one, like our friend Anon did for the last chapter of my story "Ghosts from an ignominious past" and then leave me alone with it. Besides, at least in my personal experience, mostly the negative reviewers shy away from giving a reply address. To me that smells the tiniest bit of cowardice. There's no need to be afraid of attacking me but you should be able to get a reaction if you do!

As to Anon's announcement to furthermore avoid my stories because they are too depressing for his taste and lack the proper happy ending he prefers - I can't help it, I prefer villains who are humans and heroes who are too, and I for one don't think that human beings always get stronger when you lash into them, some things can be broken inside a human soul and they don't mend easily.

I am always sad to lose a reader, but, hey, I'll have to live with that. But pretty, pretty please: Keep on reviewing, all of you and give me a reply address. I promise to be good and reply sensibly and constructively to the best of my abilities.

Thanks, people!
