How many weeks can you wait while I type all those names?

But seriously, I don't think of people that way. I think of people I like to read, but never do I think "Oh, she's so much better than that one." I might think "I don't really have much interest in his subjects" or "I feel badly for someone struggling to write in a foreign language; but I really can't read this".

Some writers can make me angry. I mute or block them, but they could have an excellent writing style.

Some writers lack skill. I feel sad for them, but again, I can just mute or block, not judge. I have no understanding of music, they have no feel for paragraphs and words, but their feelings may be powerful, they may saying something useful, so I might not mute even if it is painful to read.

What would be the point, anyway? Everyone who is that much better than I am surely knows that and if that is a deal breaker for them, why would they care if I name dropped? I'd be embarrassed if some unskilled writer fawned over me!
