Hazel, such venom while spouting half-truths.
--quote--Cindy, are you implying that submitting a story under a pseudonym is a deliberate attempt at havoc? Even Tempus would find that a little too ironic, coming from "Ann N."--quote--
I never submitted any stories to contests under "Ann Nonymous." I posted one or two on this board with that moniker because I knew the stories wouldn't be read if people knew who the author was. Seemed like a shame to spend 6 months on a story to have nobody read it. Looks like it worked. I also freely admit to my identity - I'm not all that anonymous at all.
A single comment on hypocrisy is "such venom"?
For crying out loud, Cindy, take your own advice and have some deep breaths, okay? There's little difference between submitting a story to a contest or a message boards. I remained "anonymous" for the duration of a single cycle of the Merriweathers and identified myself the moment it was over for me, which was when I had both scorecards in hand. And, as disappointing as you apparently find it,
you are not hated as an author. I may not care for your attitudes or remarks as a person, but that didn't stop me from nominating you in several categories for the Kerths this year -- or,
after I'd read your first post to this thread, actually voting for you as well.
And even after reading your reply this morning, Cindy, I still don't regret it.
Hazel
