Fellow Medium Writers, WHY ARE Some of You So Cruel?
You may not like what I write about but you don't have to attack my character! Remember that works both ways!
A few months back I wrote an article about the attacks on Donald Trump. It caused more fury than I could ever imagine. Here is the link:

Since starting my journey on Medium I have been able to live out my dream of becoming a writer. It’s been a long-standing item on my bucket list, and it has boosted me farther than anything I could ever have imagined. I wrote short stories biographies poems personal beliefs and much much more.
I consider Medium my family. I have made great friends and colleagues and have grown so much during this journey with the help of you kind folks. Recently, however, I have been getting some really really ugly comments about the above article.
I wrote this article because I happen to be a Trump supporter. There are so many milestones he made while in office, [my personal opinion here} I felt it was worth writing about. Now I'm not a bad person at all. I would give you my last five dollars if you needed it. I would drop what I was doing in a heartbeat to help you out. I'm a God-fearing woman and would pray with you in a heartbeat. I’m also a nurse and have held hands with those on the brink of death so they didn’t die alone. I have sat with your family members while you were at work so they wouldn’t be alone. I have held your newborn sons and daughters during the night shift so they wouldn't have to cry and be alone and so you could get some much-needed sleep. I've held your family members who have had near-fatal drownings, suctioning their lungs so they wouldn’t die. It's me Period.
I've been called an ignorant Trump supporter, vulgar and an ill-tempered woman, a poor writer, that I am stupid, that I'm a snowflake whatever that means. I've been called an ignoramus, a Nazi grandma a Narcissist. I've been told to trade in my computer for gas money. A troll. I've been told my article is racist motivated. I was told I must have mad cow disease or syphilis and batsh$#^t mental. Insanely stupid was another comment. And that I live in a Cult. And that I shouldn't procreate {REALLY}???
These comments are not necessary. I may not like what you write about but I won’t attack your character.
I did however receive good constructive criticism and I want to acknowledge the writers. Jo An Fox-Wright Maddox stated she didn't agree with what I wrote but I have a right to say it. Thank you! And Sharon Davis, who encouraged me, and Marie Mayer for her encouraging words. Tomas Mckinley Sanchez, thank you for your kind words! Laforgia and Garrett Maxwell, thank you for your support! There are some more and if I left you out, my sincere apologies!
That’s about all I have to say about this for now. So lastly now, I’m officially done! {please don't reply -GOOD}, that’s not nice!
Thank you for reading Y’all!!
