It’s not pathetic! People say hurtful things for the purpose of hurting you, so it’s not surprising when it works. We’re told we should be able to ignore things like that, but the reality is that it’s not that easy to ignore the fact that someone wants you to be in pain. 🙁
But I’m glad that my kudos made you feel better! I have no doubt that if it left it, then it’s a fic I not only enjoyed, but would (and perhaps have!) read again. And I hope the rude commenter learns better and gets an attitude adjustment.
