Hating haters and the haters who hate them

It seems an inordinate number of words have been written about NaNoWriMo this year, more than I remember seeing since its inception. I'm not going to discuss any specific post or article. But I will address one particular group of people: namely, those of you who might be considering writing something spiteful, mean, or hate-y about NaNoWriMo. You people, I want you to look at another group of people: namely, those who have already written spiteful, mean, or hate-y things about NaNoWriMo. Notice one thing all those people have in common? It's this: they all sort of look like huge dicks. Think about that, now, before you sit down to write your own spiteful, mean, or hate-y anti-NaNoWriMo piece. Do you want to look like a huge dick? No. You don't. So just back off, take a deep breath, and go think of something better to do with your time. Like, I don't know, talk about Pynchon, or feed the homeless, or drink a glass of water, or something. Your discretion will help make the world a better place.
