Lovely. Clicked a random link and got this gem https://orangepeeler.diaryland.com/index.html https://orangepeeler.diaryland.com/index.html > Despite the lack of sleep, I ran on adrenalin all day. I wasn't at all tired. I joked with customers. Stretched. Walked the dog in the rain, earphones on, sometimes singing along to music. I wanted to dance. Dance all night in a dark nightclub, the bodies of strangers pressing against me. Dance away all the tension, so much tension I could scream; dance until I am in a sodden, emotionless heap on the floor. Moments of euphoria occurred. I knew exactly the why of things, for now. I no longer felt like a ghost. poetic

  A total disheartening bit of jadedness, this comment. An individual is allowed to express awe and depth without having to meet arbitrary standards. If it were otherwise, the world would be poorer for it.

    But an individual isn't allowed to express dislike without having to meet similar standards?

      And I'm allowed to dislike your dislike. At least have the decency to match the passion the original work had when you dislike it

        Why? I don't owe you anything, if I dislike something, I dislike it however I want to, and it's as valid as your liking it. I don't mind if you dislike things, just think about why you think that it's OK if someone likes something, but not OK if someone dislikes it.

      What a world, indeed. HN guidelines: Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
