In which I do not believe in the constructive nature of "Ha-ha!"

So, best of nanowrimo is a thing on Tumblr, and yanno what? It makes me more than a little queasy to have people's posts taken and reposted (probably without their knowledge or consent) just so that others can have laughs at their expense

I'm just wondering if there's also a duty of professionalism (in the legal sense) if you yourself are an author and other authors are your colleagues? I have many classmates I despise but I'd never want to criticize them negatively (albeit constructively) in such a way, because it may reflect badly back on me?

I wonder if authors would hesitate to comment on such a blog as Cracked Moon because literary agencies/publishers may be reading the comments and form a negative impression that this writer does not work well with others.

Your site would be an example of one that is more professional, but I worry about the ones that seem too angry, just because publishers want to maintain an image.

Your thoughts?
