Offensive Review Removed

[apollinav]

The inflammatory review from the unregistered user 'The mysterious nobody' has been removed. And I'd like to thank my champions: corbye, irishredlass69, lady_karelia, beffeysue, bloodcult, melusin_79, and dickglouster for their support and excellent advice. I was unaware that I could remove it myself. I was under the impression that FFnet didn't allow that, but as the cowardly reviewer is unregistered it was only a few mouse-clicks to do away with it.

I must admit, I was a bit amused by this.  I had no idea that being called black was an insult, or that race had any bearing on writing ability. 
But then, perhaps I just don't get it, because clearly I don't understand the reviewer either.  Regardless, it was petty and bigoted, but now it's gone. Though I rather suspect that the troll reviewer has accomplished their mission by getting people to talk about it.

Please accept my apologies if anyone was offended, I should have been more diligent in removing it the moment it was submitted. But now that I know how to do so, I will endeavor to delete any such future reviews in a timely manner. Simply put, racist crap like this just doesn't have any place in my fandom.

 

 This story,while having its merits,influences a vast misleading hypothesis.Snape is a cruel low lying piece of filth who miraculously is given a choice of freedom,which he is unwilling to yield to.Hermione ,on the other hand,is a wealthy woman,deprived of affection,willing to stoop to the lowest satanic form of lawlessness by hoodwinking the ministry of magic,thus enabling her to continue life wishing for the happy marriage she so foolishly desires.The story has absolutely no plot and is a disgrace to the writing world of well educated and refined writers.I bet you are black,that's why the story is so bad.

Charming misuse of language.

What I can't work out is, if the story is soooo bad, what are the actual merits? Or, were they just trying to make you feel better before they showed an appalling lack of anything really?

Just goes to show that being a narrow minded bigot also means they haven't got the ability to form a coherent sentence without using jingoism to get the point across.

At the very least, it must be terribly hard on the knuckle dragging pond scum. :p

I can see the amusement in this, but conversely I can also see the pain it must have caused some readers/reviewers. Trolls like this, thrive on that negativity - it's how they get their kicks. I'm afraid, imnsho - that just makes them even more pathetic than they might otherwise have been.

I wanted it to quietely go away. The troll didn't hurt my widdle feelings. I just resent the fact that my fic was used to propagate hate speech.
