I've noticed a hideous trend here. It's been a little problem in the past, but lately it's become ridiculous.
Constructive criticism is always welcome on any of my work -- I embrace it happily. By all means, let me know if my perspective is off here, or the shading needs work there. I am not one to censor comments that give me insight to the piece and let me know what needs to be fixed.
I will, however, not put up with immature comments or wanky comments. I am not a twelve-year-old internet drama h0r, and I refuse to deal with it. I won't hesitate to hide comments or block users where the following is concerned:
"OMG GROSS PAIRING."
- I'm sorry you don't appreciate the beauty I find in a pairing. Do you walk around in real life saying that? Do you see a couple across the street and just shriek, 'OH GROSS WHY ARE YOU TWO TOGETHER!?!?!' I certainly hope not.
"THIS IS STUPID."
- Then why did you click on the link? Why are you looking at it? Why are you wasting precious, precious time writing a comment to something that you find so stupid?
"OMG SPOILER WARNING YOU BITCH."
- If you want to avoid spoilers for something, then maybe you shouldn't go looking at art, eh?
"THIS IS OKAY BUT YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT MY ART/FANFIC."
- What? This is not an advertising forum. My gallery is not a bloody flea market. GTFO.
It should be noted that I'm open all of these, so long as they're worded in a polite and well-mannered way. How hard is it to say, "Well, I'm not a fan of this pairing, but *insert likes/dislikes about the piece*." Or how about, "I like/dislike this, let me elaborate some... blah blah blah, oh, and you might consider putting a spoiler warning up, just in case!" Or even, "Ohhh this is great!/awful!/weird! It reminds me of a scene I wrote, here's the link..."
Seriously, people. Let's stop acting like we're in middle school, learn some manners, and be polite to one another. Also? Acting like a prick if I block you or hide your comments won't help matters.
Now that it's off of my chest, I'll end this. Thank you.

(By the way, did you get my response to your angry note, or had you already blocked me by then?)
Feel free to block me now from commenting, too, if you must -- but as an alternative, perhaps we could come to an agreement: you consider adding spoiler warnings to your work where such would apply, and I drop the issue? Then there needn't be any bad blood.
Just an afterthought. I'll actually shut up now.

If this goes through, or if you see it -- you needn't worry about me harassing you. I have less and less interest in you and your art the more I have to do with you.
All I wanted to do was comment that it's a good piece, and express my opinion that spoilers should be labeled as such...
