I hope that out of the 40 some odd comments-most of them being my replies to other replies shows how unconstructive it can be to not have a dialogue based on the substance of a diary rather than what I perceived to be the nitpicking over how the diary was written. Maybe this will be a lesson to all of us of what a waste of time it is to have meaningless dialogue.

I can agree with that comment, so it's good that we can end on a more positive note.

But Fran's comment was very much about the substance of this diary - or rather the lack thereof. Everything that happened after that is entirely your own doing.

I'm not claiming my own diaries are literary masterpieces, but if someone raises an issue in the comments, I try to add corrections and updates. Obviously I contribute (however minor my contributions may be) because I enjoy doing so, but if I wasn't prepared to accept some constructive criticism, I'd just let my writings collect dust on my hard drive.
