Dear Writing.Com (WDC)

A humorous letter to WDC requesting compensation for pain and suffering

Writing.com,

This letter is a demand for compensation! As a member, I have experienced a great deal of pain and suffering at your expense. Since I've been involved with your site, my life has undergone radical changes.

First, I am no longer able to clean my home, run errands, shop for groceries or other necessary items, cook, and care for my yard. I have been required to employ a number of support staff such as maids and pizza delivery personnel to name a few.

There have also been some physical disabilities as well. I have lost sleep as writing ideas churn non-stop allowing me no respite. Due to your numerous creative contests and challenges, I have destroyed millions of irreplaceable brain cells trying to remain competitive. In addition, I have developed extensive eyestrain while reviewing entries of fellow WDC members. Another victim of your site, "Horseman," warned me of the dreaded carpal tunnel syndrome to come.

This token economy you so cleverly designed with "gift points" has turned me into an addict. I am constantly seeking my next "fix." I have tried desperately to control my GP seeking behavior to no avail. I will need intensive inpatient rehabilitation followed with long-term therapy in order to beat this addiction and try to resume a normal life.

As you do not have a disclaimer expressing the potential dangers here at WDC, and thus I had no knowledge of the risk I was taking, I feel it's only fair that I receive compensation. As I do not wish to drag this through the legal mire, I will be happy to accept a lump sum settlement of 500,000 gift points payable to -Tina B- immediately.

Regards,

Tina B
