And god help anyone who disagrees with them. It is like junior high, they have to be right or their world ends apparently..... As long as you agree with them, then it is okay to say something, but if you disagree or defend yourself, then you are some kind of horrible person out to cause them harm.
And how long have WE been saying this? Since we don't agree with LKH, we're the bad, hating, "vocal minority"? Nuh-uh. It goes both ways, Darla. To get respect, you have to give it. And LKH stopped doing that.
I can understand LKH getting upset if people just say "the new book are shitty", but if people are saying "I really miss the plot development and mystery the books used to have", that's not a case of the reader being out to 'harm'. Readers are simply sick of being told that "nothing's changed" and that our feelings are our fault.
