* [[Chuck Palahniuk]] once [https://web.archive.org/web/20090501215114/http://dir.salon.com/story/books/letters/2003/08/26/chuck/index.html responded] to a review like this.
* The ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[Expanded Universe]] author Karen Traviss generally has this reaction whenever readers point out some of the inherent silliness of her work, such as [[Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale|her ridiculously low estimate of the number of clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic.]] [[Serious Business|Then again, people have flat out threatened her over this.]] [[Word of God|Even though she repeatedly claimed she got her figures from her bosses.]] [[All There in the Manual|For numbers that first appeared in the]] ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'' [[All There in the Manual|Movie Novelization]]. [[Scapegoat Creator|So she was taking flak for figures that predated her by several years in a tier of canon her critics ignorantly claimed she had no right to alter, not realizing that said claims undermined their own positions.]] Seriously, the whole thing is one massive messed up piece of idiocy.
* [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe]] novelist Keith Topping, responding to critics on the [[Doctor Who]] [[UseNet]] groups:
Line 126:
* ''[[Newgrounds]]'' used to be the king of this trope. It seemed that unless you had a movie that was rated in the top 10, you had absolutely no right to criticize any movies There were even movies made making fun of those people who left comments or even ''rated'' movies down. But most of these were made about the types of people who made comments like "Your movie stinks" or "You used sprites, therefore you sucked" or attacked the author without good reason.
** Sometimes, even pointing out a bug in a flash game resulted in this...
* ''[[The Onion]]'', in its [[News Parody|usual style]], applied [https://web.archive.org/web/20100219080026/http://www.theonion.com/content/news/well_you_try_to_reconstruct_iraq this trope in an unexpected way to fantastic results.]
* ''[[Atop the Fourth Wall]]'' was flooded with these kinds of comments after Linkara introduced "Miller Time," a series of reviews of [[Frank Miller]]'s worst comics. He responded that he's only been at this for a couple years, while Miller's been working for three decades.
** During the ''Wolverine: Adamantium Rage'' review, Spoony (who was watching in the background) mocks Linkara's decision to use cheat codes during a particularly difficult part of the game. Linkara's response is to step away from the keyboard and let Spoony try. After a half-dozen failures and an abortive suicide attempt, Spoony lets Linkara cheat.
