Odd.

I've been getting anonymous comments in the past few days on my Holmes fic, calling me out on my Victorian inaccuracies. So far one has been polite (they assumed I didn't know the meaning of the word I was using, whereas I did, I just apparently wasn't clear when using it) and the other was somewhat snotty but correct. I don't mind when people correct me, especially if they're right; in fact, I'd like to be told when I'm using a word wrong or I have a fact mistaken. But I don't appreciate snark, and I'd kind of rather that they wouldn't comment anonymously. Unless, of course, they're not signed up on LJ at all, in which case I don't know how they found my fic. Interesting!

I would call them out, saying exactly this!! You do not mind being corrected. You do mind anonymity and snark. Tell them.
