"...don't you know that I can be poison?"

[seldear]

Some feedback is like fairy floss. Sweet and sugary and tasty for the moment, but soon forgotten. And it probably rots your ego.

Some feedback is like the no-holds-barred family feast Mum puts out for a special occasion. Substantial, nourishing, tasty - and you remember it long after the flavours are faded.

And some feedback is like DDT; poison, building up in the system and killing you slowly.

For some reason, I'm remembering one serve of DDT someone on LJ once gave me. I don't talk to them anymore, they don't talk to me. But the poison is all I'll ever really remember of them.

It's funny - it's like when you're trying to climb a tree to save the neighbour's cat. All that they remember is you falling out of the tree trying to hold onto the cat for dear life.

People always remember you on the way down ....
