Gah, I only had the stomach to read about half the shit they were posting in that "review" of your journal.
I am a little saddened you fell for the bane of LJ the dreaded RATING COMMUNITY. It's highschool cliques in disguise no matter how they try to dress it up. They get off on judging other people and conforming.
Just so you know I am not immune to the lure of acceptance either, I once fell for a rating community too. I got flamed by some 15 year old writer that dissed the piece I submitted.
You don't need a community to tell you that your writing is above average when it comes to LJ. You're readers can vouche for that.
As for your relationship with Laura, last time I looked you were both consenting adults under Canadian Law, so those moral purists in that community should get stuffed. Just because someone objects to the fact that they wouldn't let their daughter do the "shit" Laura is doing, that doesn't give them the right to judge her.
Gah, do me a favour and make a new year's resolution to avoid rating communities.
