I don't know that wanting to wash one's hands of a project that gets constant, negative feedback is "overemotional." For someone who seems to have an interest in writing, I'm a bit surprised that you'd say "words are just words." No. Words are icons. They are access points to concepts, thoughts and feelings. They rely on the imagination to create context, color and meaning.

Imagine then, waves of hate crashing against portions of your life that may or may not have anything to do with whatever project you're putting out there. That would be tough. Real tough.
