Sucks to hear of people trolling your LJs ladies. 

Eh.   I've had worse.  It goes with the territory.  When you put yourself and your work and your opinions out there on a public forum, you gotta be prepared for people to lob a few lowballs your direction.

Having had been a professional musician for some years and married to a really talented pro, I have a little story to share with y'all.
In the 'music business', we came into contact and worked with many varied levels of musicianship.  There are all kinds of sayings that have been used over the years.  A really popular one that we used all the time was in reference to comparing the talents and levels of other musicians.  For example:  Let's say you hear John Doe playing his "axe" (instrument), but he's not all that good.  You hear Joe Blow play and he's way better, stupendous, a real pro, super talented.  So we would say:  "That John Doe couldn't even carry Joe's Blow's axe across the street."  That pretty much said it all.  We'd all say it about ourselves, too, when we'd meet a superior musician whom we'd admire.  "Oh, I'm not qualified to carry so-and-so's axe across the street."  We all said that.   I've always imagined that it probably carried over into other fields.
Is there a point to this story?  Why, yes!
I'm a rank amateur when it comes to writing and there are so many authors way out of my league.  When I happened to say it to Loiuse the other day, I meant it as a sincere compliment and I'll proudly say it again:
"Louise, I'm not worthy to even carry your laptop across the street."
