Actually, you “couldn’t” care less. If you say that you “could” care less, then you’re saying that you do care – not that you don’t care. Which is not the correct usage for that particular idiom.
And regarding your actual post…scolding people for lamenting the loss of ficlets is silly. Writing about how much an author will miss ficlets is still writing. And while these posts may not be a fictional snippets, not all ficlets are anyway.
There is an old saying that Misery Loves Company. I’ve come to believe that, because for me personally I feel comfort being among the kindred spirits bemoaning the loss of Ficlets.
ezzie got what i ment. I wasn’t saying, “oh, mourning of something is bad and no one should ever do it.” im just stating that if Ficlets is closing, why waste time writing about how it’s gonna go away???*
