After some thought I decided to prohibit the Anons, at least until things calm down.
Yeah, the surgery is over (see my "it's over it's over" chant.) But boy am I feeling some serious pain now!
If anyone is around, I am waiting for the next round of pain medicine to take effect, and sitting in chat!
neatfreak:
Louise, I'm delightfully surprised to be hearing from you so soon, so I'm hoping the surgery was a success! I was praying for the doctor's skill and your continued healing.
I saw your author's note and have to sadly agree. I read those angry posts and I just don't get it. Why read something that gets you so upset? I quit reading a story when it is no longer an entertaining or learning experience to continue. The vitriol in those posts upsets the delicate balance of love and support that I find and need in your pages and on this forum. It is fair to question the plot points in an intelligent and calm fashion, but to rant is unnecessary and disturbing.
You have many faithful and supportive readers and I'm proud to say I'm one of them.
louisev:
Yes, I think that at least for the time being, it is the right thing to do to cut down on the free rein of rants. I find them mildly amusing and silly, but I know that there are a lot of readers to the Laramie Saga, and it is upsetting many people who are enjoying the story, and I believe that the troll rants are designed most of all to upset you guys.
At this point I am not going to allow anonymous comments.
Yep, I'm sort of up and down between here and the bed, but make no mistake... I am hurting, and would like nothing more than to get another one of those anesthesia shots right now.

I finally found the right dosage to allow me to continue writing:

Ryan - just wanted to compliment you on the great artwork!
Louise - yeah, surgery is over! I hope the pain meds help... (i'll check in to chat in a wee bit)
Re: LJ comments: isn't there a way to screen comments before they appear? or is that what you didn't want to do 'cause it felt like censorship? I think whatever you decide to do is fine... It's like moderators screening the boards, or teachers sending disruptive students to the principal's office. Regardless, you don't want the ranting and raving distracting from reading the story...
