The presence of these pranksters is annoying and disturbing. They send writer's profile to other sites like blogs, discussion boards, forums, online chatting with the aims to insult the writers. They are here not for a serious writing but making trouble and creating misunderstanding instead. Sometimes they are bored and looking for entertainment by posting nasty and abuse comments. And sometimes they exist at some writing platforms to hurt the other. They may perceive that they are righteous avengers, and righting the faults and wrongdoing of the targeted writers. They are such a harsh people lack of civilization as they will strike back the only way they could. The pranksters themselves prefer to abuse others out of their jealousy, hurtful and revengeful emotions by spreading the misunderstood comments to the world.

Abuse comments are indeed scary and horrible. Whoever has gone through the conflict firsthand can tell you the nightmare. There are moments that will send chills down your spine. Below are some examples of abuse comments:

I wish you were dead!

I'll kill you if you're still there writing!

If you try and report me, I'll hack into your computer!

I hate you! You're stupid and dumb, get out here!

I'll spread your rumors and abuse your image so that people won't believe on you…

I'll use your name to leave hurtful and threatening comments so that people will boycott your writings….

Imagine how hurtful for writers who read these comments from the comfort of their home. How frightening and distressful this would be for the writer! I'm sad to learn that the similar threats and vicious comments are circulated very rapidly via the internet every single day.

I respect the freedom of speech. But even, every one of us is given a right to say anything we'd like to say, please don't abuse the value behind the right to speak. It's not always a pleasant lesson to have spiteful and derogatory comments circulated around the writing world. The freedom of speech that fosters the bad consequence of comments or communications shouldn't be allowed but they must deserve the punishment.

The internet has fulfilled everyone's dream to voice their opinions with ease. Nevertheless, the pranksters have misused their comments either to criticize people in a hateful way or make fun of them in some vicious means. They have abused their rights by using these hateful and derogatory comments as a form of harassment and aggressive behavior intended to harm others via technological means. Their objectives are achieved when they send threatening and malicious comments directly to a person, or they may send humiliating or hurtful comments to other sites in order to harass and/ or threaten others online. Even though the comments may not be getting innocent writers hurt physically, but they will cause them hurting emotionally. When they hurt physically, their scars or wounds will heal. What if they are hurt emotionally? These comments will stay with them for the rest of their life and may not be easily healed. They're here causing trouble for writers and just would like to see the writer torn apart. The abuse comments are indeed hurting and distressing! It is emotionally devastating for the innocent writers!

The action of these pranksters - rumors, threats, gossip, humiliation - are nothing new, as their wicked campaigns have started to move to e-mails, blogs, websites, chat rooms, and even text messaging. Among the internet users, these vicious gossips, racists and threatening comments are growing so rampant and quickly that most of the targeted writers are affected emotionally. With wireless technology, they are distributed much more quickly than you could ever imagine as they're being put up and shared around the world. Their wicked motives are shielded as most of the websites and screen names give them a mask of using “unknown” names, making them difficult to trace. Bullies and abuse are often anonymous, and sadly to say, most of the harassment takes place off. The bully then sits back laughing from seeing the affected parties engage in destructive behavior towards each other. The pressure could be felt by the innocent writers when their names are misused somewhere by these irresponsible parties and that means bullies can even extend their harassment into their lives, jobs and studies. It's indeed horrible enough, if someone made a joke about you, or said something to degrade your sacred personality.

Their objectives to leave such hateful and spiteful comments are clear that they want to control, manipulate, dominate and colonize their “territories”. They take revenge by seeing you react, and they try to control whatever ways they could. And their final aims are watching the affected writers wearing down. In this case, the affected writers become their “Baiting Game”. They stay there, watching and stirring the pot with additional “ingredients” (provocation) and they'd laugh with a sense of gratification upon seeing the affected parties indulge in destructive interaction and behavioral pattern.

When you come across writers being threatened by these pranksters, please give your utmost support and encouragement to boost them to a level they should be. With regards to the recent abuse among the Triond community, Triond has acted promptly and timely by introducing the add-in new feature for their commenting system. They even put this issue on their blog Your Comments, Your Identity. But, I'm sad to find it not to be a compulsory requirement for every Triond user here. I hope every writer here can make full use of this new feature to curb the intention of using our name for leaving hateful and nasty comments by some irresponsible and immoral parties.

Communicate

Write your thought, write your innermost feeling and bring out what is in your mind. Just be natural and describe your research about the subject matter you want to talk about faithfully and state your conclusion logically. Your very first draft may omit some necessary points and describe the subject matter too soon. After writing more paragraphs and using paste and scissors to rearrange the thoughts and ideas - you now have a clear and logical manuscript.

It is understandable and it is alright and natural that you struggle with your own feelings, with fear that some person might find difficult to accept and with few words that at first had failed to express what it was meant to be. After much struggle you would experience the great joy of being able to deliver what you really wanted to say - and that is effective way to communicate.

Set a Time for Writing

Most writers agree that is it only one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration is all that is needed to write a story but writers needs long period of time when he is free from interruption to write well. Each writer needs to find out when is the best time he can write most creatively and set aside this time for writing. To some, they find it best to write during the dawn or wee hours when the house is so quiet and everyone is already sleeping. Others find it easier to write with loud background music during the day.

This specially set aside time should be used for analysis, outlining, thinking, revisions and writing the finale. The time in between can be used in filling up spaces or gaps in your story, to look up for more facts or check its veracity and to fix the rough section. If you are commuting in buses or trains, you can use this time to think through the next steps in your story or the best title to give, or maybe how it should end. That is why it is important for writers to always have a pen and paper handy.

A Good Place to Write

A typical writer wish to have a private comfortable room with desk and its lamp, and a chair; the books he needs, enough space to spread magazines and other resources. When you do not have such exclusive place, you can have a certain place at home or in your office to use for such purpose for a certain period of time every day or at your specified day and time. Be ready to have a brief case or a box that contains essential materials necessary to finish your story.

Your precious time at this place would be more valuable if you have the other basic materials every writer must have in addition to notes, clippings, pamphlets and other resource materials. You must have the coupon bonds, paper clips, eraser, fastener, puncher, scissor, dictionary, scotch tape, stapler and paste. If you have these entire ready and easily to be found then your thought would only be focused on your project and will not be distracted at all by just trying to find out where is that eraser.

Useful Tips

When working on a particular subject you should clip articles from whatever source for future reference. You should always write on the clippings - the date, page number and the source for you will never know when you would like to quote this later on. You will soon develop a method of filing ideas and resource materials. Ideas come to the mind of writers at times and places when it is impossible to develop them so it is important to jot them down. If you rely on your memory it may be lost too unless a brief record is made of it. Make final review and rewrite if necessary - an article is rejected because the writer sent the first rough draft of the material and not the finished product.

”Words matter and unleash a wave of power that is unimaginable to those who don't process the power of the vocabulary.” - Nelson Doyle

This word has 27 letters which appears in Love’s Labour’s Lost, Act V, Scene I, which means “invincible glorious” or “Honorableness.” It is the ablative plural of the Latin contrived honorificabilitudinitas, which is an extension of honorificabilis meaning "honorableness." This word was spoken by Costard in Shakespeare’s plays:

O, they have lived long on the alms-basket of words.
I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word;
for thou art not so long by the head as
honorificabilitudinitatibus: thou art easier
swallowed than a flap-dragon.

This is the best known long word which has 28 letters. It means “opposition to the withdrawal of state support or recognition from an established church, esp. the Anglican Church in 19^th-century England” as explained in Dictionary.com. Specifically, it is the political philosophy that is opposed to the separation of the church and state. This term originated in the context of the 19^th century Church of England, antidisestablishmentarians were opposed to proposals to remove its status as the state church of England. It has been quoted once by the British Prime Minister, William Ewart Gladstone, 1809- 1898. This word can be broken down as follows:

      ~ism....................The philosophy of

      ~arian...................those people who belive in

      ~anti.....................opposition to

      ~dis.......................the removal of

      ~establishment.......The Church of England as the official state church

This 30- letter-word is a non-scientific English word and it appears in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. It is longer than antidisestablishmentarianism. The 1992 Guinness Book of World Records calls floccinaucinihilipilification "the longest real word in the Oxford English Dictionary," whereas it calls pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis "the longest made-up word in the Oxford English Dictionary." It means “act or habit to deny the value of some particular things” but some dictionaries translate it as “the act of considering something to be worthless.” It was formed by Estonian scholars, who searched for as many Latin words meaning "nothing" or "not very much as possible": flocci (means “a little bit,” but literally it means “a bit of wool”), nauci (means very little), nihili (means “nothing”), pili (means “very little”); fused them together, and then added the suffix "fication" on the end, to give the sense of an action.

This word has been used by Sir Walter Scott and Senators Robert Byrd and Daniel Patrick Moynihan. It was used by Senator Jesse Helms in 1999 during the debate on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty [Randolph V. Cinco]. It also appeared on March 14, 1996, in "Zippy," a comic strip distributed by King Features Syndicate:

Do you think I may be too quick to find fault with things and people, Zippy?
Yeh.
Th' 'floccinaucinihilipilification' process.
Th' what?
Floccinaucinihilipilification!! It means 'the estimation of something as valueless'!
You've been randomly reading th' dictionary, haven't you?
Yes. That and my natural tendency toward antifloccinaucinihilipilification!!

Floccinaucinihilipilification was also used by Press Secretary Mike McCurry in his December 6, 1995, White House Press Briefing in discussing Congressional Budget Office estimates and assumptions: "But if you—as a practical matter of estimating the economy, the difference is not great. There's a little bit of floccinaucinihilipilification going on here."

Above citations show that this stunning word has been noted for its first four letters from 1949 to 1967.

This 34-letter word appears in the Oxford English Dictionary. It is a word specifically created for a song (you can listen the song here) in a movie called “Mary Poppins” until its film version of the musical was popular enough that everyone got to know this word.

This 45-letter long word is the longest word found in dictionaries. According to the eighth edition of Webster dictionary, it means, “pneumoconiosis disease caused by inhaling small particles of quartzite.” This is the scientific name for a coal miner’s disease, which is particularly caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust. It is the lung disease that miners in Africa came down with from getting silicon silvers in their lungs.

On Feb. 23, 1935, the New York Herald-Tribune reported on page 3:

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis succeeded electrophotomicro-graphically as the longest word in the English language recognized by the National Puzzlers' League at the opening session of the organization's 103d semi-annual meeting held yesterday at the Hotel New Yorker.

The puzzlers explained that the forty-five-letter word is the name of a special form of silicosis caused by ultra-microscopic particles of siliceous volcanic dust.

My battered copy of the Collins English Compact Dictionary defines anything as “any object, event, or action whatever.” Hence a writer when asked to write about anything could legitimately return an essay or article on bellybutton fluff, if he or she desired, because after all bellybutton fluff is an object. If the writer went down the event avenue of “anything” then he or she could quite possibly choose to wax lyrical about Cousin Fred's 38th birthday dinner in Twizel - a small event but an event none the less. Or what about an action such as the time when I scratched my right earlobe with my right hand? The possibilities seem endless.

But is the topic of “anything” really the bottomless pit of ideas that it seems to be or is the writer still influenced by other factors that end up limiting a full exploration of the topic of “anything?” The answer is that of course the writer is limited. The writer is limited by the audience they are writing for, with the only exception being the private journal that is written behind closed doors and hidden from prying eyes.

Let's face it, if you're a writer and you earn your living writing for a parenting magazine, and your editor asks you to write a piece on “anything,” you're not going to return with an article on how William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is not just a play about Jews. If you do, the chance of you ever being paid for such an article or the article ever being published in the parenting magazine would be very slim indeed. However an article on anything to do with parenting will probably stand a much better chance of being accepted.
