Two days ago I was siting in my garden sketching my apple trees, when my neighbor came to say hello. I don't know him very well jet, so when he asked if he could see my sketch book, I became a bit shy, as my sketchbook is very personal to me. I handed it to him, and picked up my ewer to water some flowers while he was looking at my sketches.
He did'nt say much, and when he was done he just handed the sketch book back to me, greeted me a good day, and went back to his house.
This morning I was siting under the apple tree again. I could see my neighbor working in his garden, so I greeted him good morning. He came over to me, and he started to tell me how he had looked me up on the Internet. He had been reading some of my Nidlongdir blogs, and he was very upset about them.
I asked him what had upset him so much?
He told me that he thought people like me are dangerous. To be honest I didn't understand why he thought I could be a dangerous person, so I asked him to explaine to me why he thought I am dangerous.
You mix up fantasy and the real world, he said. You make people believe that there are fairies in your garden, you are a crazy dangerous woman, and people like you should'nt be allowed to use the Internet to spread you crazy ideas, there should be a law against it, he kept on.
I was shocked by his anger and accusations. I just stood there paralyzed in my own garden not knowing what to say. Then it was like a trembling went through the apple tree, my neighbor felt it too, he looked up into the tree branches and in a few seconds it was like the tree unfolded all it's secrets to him. You could see the streets of Lefenheim city leading up to Apple Hold Castle, and right in front of his nose King Applestrong popped up pointing his wand at him. Just as sudden as the apple tree's treambeling had started it stoped. My neighbor backed of into his own garden and disapired inside his house, with out a goodbye or any thing. I haven't talked to him since and I doubt he will be visiting me again in the near featur.
What do you think about my neighbor's accusations?
Is it a dangerous game I am playing?
If I am a crazy lady should I then be banned from the Internet?
Well you can see how encouraging he is simply from the fact that he didn't comment on your drawings first. There was no harm in them at all, yet he could share no compliments.
TommySecond he's obviously quite insecure, if he took it upon himself to attack you out of the blue.
I and many of my friends have gone through this as well. (Wanna know how many times I've been called "hateful," even though I've never used the word myself?)
