Dreambook
Lately people have been posting some rather.. not nice things in my dreambook on my website. My website is a fan site featuring information on the Japanese version of the anime Sailor Moon. During the events of hurricane Katrina I lost all of my Sailor Moon anime and manga.. therefore I am also unable to further my site in the direction it was heading.
So, I thought about it, and put up a donation button on my site asking for funds to help recollect my Sailor Moon collection. I'm already working my hiney off to try to get enough money to support myself, so I thought changing my donate to INM button to a donate so I can rebuy those mangas would be alright... I had already had the donation button up there years prior and used it to help pay for bandwith and other costs acrued by a starving college student.
So, not that I had ever recieved a donation via my thread donation button, I thought, what the heck.. until recently. The past two days my dreambook has been flooded with what I can only assume one person and their friends' outraged accusations of me being 'an embarassment to humanity' and 'worthless coward' claiming that there are people out there worse off than myself, and that I was greedy and a horrible person for asking for money to help restock my manga collection. I was shocked speachless. None of the posters had the decency to leave contact information so I could explain, so I was resorted to placing my retort on the front page of my website.
I spent a rather tearfilled night last night, wondering how a few indivudials could be so cruel.. I mean, if they had a problem with my button, why not email the problem to me rather than posting it in my dreambook.. One openly said that they did not put any contact info down because they were afraid fans of my site would email and flame them. I'm a very sensitive person and this event has caused me lots of stress. What should I do?
