An Address To The Trolls

by @nigel-finn

If you cannot be bothered to sift through the shit You don't like, then there's no sympathy, not a bit, That you get as you announce such pompous airs, Declaring your work to be better than theirs, When clearly it's not, and your criticism fails, To amount to much more than an infants wails. O maybe, just maybe, if I saw you had written, Something worthwhile yourself then all would be forgiven, Talent aside, if you'd chosen to write Something constructive, instead of such trite, Then the words that you said on deaf ears wouldn't fall, But that's not the case so they're worth bugger all, So next time you see someone's work you don't like, Before you comment, here's a tip - learn to write.

Notes

It seems there are trolls in abundance even on this site. While not recieving any hateful or unconstructive comments myself, it appears some people are currently on a mission to post unhelpful derogatory comments about the site.

I realise I may be guilty of feeding the trolls here, but I thought I'd give everyone else a heads up, just in case.
