Wow. That's a pretty crummy thing for them to say. I'm not sure what happened to the old adage "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all", but no one follows it in the Internet age.
I don't know if it's because they remain faceless, but I'm constantly surprised at how nasty people can be.
You don't have to be doing this. This story has obviously taken a lot of your time and energy, and the dismissive tone to that comment is just hackle-raising. I know I speak for a lot of folks when I say that I really appreciate your writing and this story (and I've been following the lj thread for about 4 or 5 years now). Thank you for putting yourself out there.
(Sorry...I don't usually post on complete strangers' blogs...but that sh*t got to me.)
