See, my attention span if for null. Told you, you already added the good ones. umm... Thirteen Reasons Why! Yes. I've seen trolls on the 1 stars. Hah.


I mean, I'm all for looking at the flaws in my favorite books. And I agree that Harry and Ron mistreated Hermione, but c'mon.

I was disagreeing with someone's review of HP. I hope I did not sound like a troll.


I don't think she's anti-feminist, but I wouldn't exactly hold her up as the pedestal of feminism either. I, generally, don't agree with her portrayal of women, nor do I really care for more than three or four characters, but not to the point where I think that she's a misogynist. Me and HP are kind of like me and Astrology. I used to be into it, really into it, but now? Meh. I really don't like discussing it with die hard fans.
But no, I wasn't referring to Kaethe, though I hate the way Hermione is treated by Ron and Harry, and no Synesthesia, I wasn't referring to you. Here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Or agree..."
You were not trolly and rude. Not unless you stated: JRK IS A GEGNIUSNQ!!!!! WHY DO U NOT SEINERW!!!!!!!!!!!!@# EVERYTHEINF MAKEUES SENSE!!#@!

I can't even understand what that says.

I think I'm a bit more forgiving of HP (at the moment) because A)It's been YEARS since I've read any of the books and B)it's a childhood favorite and I'm one of those people who actually grew up reading HP as they came out. If i had never read them before and randomly picked it up tomorrow, I might have a different opinion. I've thought about re-reading them, but I just don't have the same motivation to plow through them like I once did. And I was truly obsessed at one point. But I agree with you, I don't think of JK as either a Feminist or anti-feminist. And at the same time, I agree with Synesthesia. Ron and Harry did also appreciate Hermione even when they forgot to show her. I can see where both sides are coming from. Interestingly, GoF was my least favorite of all the books.
But OMG, that guy from the link would drive me crazy.




Lissa: That's.... wow. Exemplary stupidity on the part of your trolls.

Don't feel too bad, Archer. I've yet to have my own cuddly little troll.
Lissa, I can't believe they had the nerve to troll a 4 star review. Sometimes I wonder about people. Lol.

I had a little bit of a rant on the fact that religion was included in a dystopian with a religious-less society and one line in general that reflect Roth's background and upbringing. Some people took offence. I told them to fuck off. Politely.

A troll is a person on the internet who deliberately throws out outrageous/contentious statements in hope of spurring public discord or wheedling an angry reaction from somebody. If I went onto a Star Wars message board and started a topic saying "Star Wars sucks!" in hope of making people angry, I would be trolling.

Anyway, I try not to be too nasty/scathing in my negative reviews, so as to not provoke these people. I don't have a very thick skin so I like to attract as little anger as possible.
