I read a recent blog from Anne R. Allen about her experiences with complaints from her readers. She writes a blog on writing and I was surprised how easily offended people can be. Rather than me telling you here is a link to the blog. It is important not only for writers but for everyone.

Thanks for the shout-out for my blogpost. The funny thing is, most of the complainers don’t actually read the blog. They see references to it or they read the header of a post on Twitter and object to that and send me an immediate DM or email. These people are trolling the Internet for stuff to find “offensive”. And they come from all points on the political spectrum.

It was a well thought out article written with sense and sensibility; pride without prejudice. Sorry I had to inject some humor as the trolls annoy me no end.
