The following is an actual conversation via Adium with someone who I've no real contact (via blogs or otherwise) with and yet who thought giving feedback about this blog was his prerogative:
I appreciate constructive criticism as much as the next one (heck! the college writing course I teach basically depends on it) but this was... not quite what I have in mind. The internet, twitter, facebook, etc. have opened a world where everyone's opinion can be heard and distributed and that's great - but this (at least in my mind) went a bit far beyond mere "opinion." I don't even know why I'm posting this other than I found it an incredibly odd conversation to have had and thought I'd share it.

That is so bizarre.
So... you suck very well?

How so very random! Still you handled yourself quite well. Strange people on the nets.
But hey, at least he's reading your stuff, right?
Oh so bizarre and random. I just never got to understand the motive for finding me on iChat/Adium and telling me. It's like "fine, I don't require everyone to like my blog/writing but why make a big deal out of it just don't read my blog. Simple." (as the sun and moon and the stars in the skyyyy! - yes I can't wait for NINE)
[/shifts conversation to a happy thought!]
I think you`re wonderful...
There are some very very sad people out there.
