“Don’t talk unless you can improve the silence.” — Jorge Luis Borges

I don’t get people on here wasting everyone’s time with long, hostile, and hateful comments on aspiring writers' stories.

I was reading a good post the other day by a passionate, determined, young writer, only to find myself reading one of the longest negative comments I've ever read on here.

The intent was clear. It wasn't to help the author. It was to belittle the author to make up for the Troll's ego issues.

Look. If you can’t be positive, shut up! Don’t clap. Don’t finish reading the story, and find something else to read.

No one is perfect. Perfect writers don’t exist. And if they did, they wouldn’t be on Medium.

Yes, that includes YOU TOO, Medium Troll.

You can provide some constructive feedback only if you have the author’s best interest in mind.

But if you’re just here to belittle writers, find another platform. Go on Twitter and talk to Trump for all I care.

Can’t you see that we need more positivity? It’s easy to be negative.

I’m not asking you to put in the effort to be positive. I’m simply asking you to be quiet.
