One worse than the other.

1) In the old west an "actor" is performing his version of "to be or not to be". The cowboys in the saloon don't like it and they start booing and throwing fruits at the actor who stops his performance and before storming off to his dressing room yells back at the audience; "Hey, I didn't write this shit, I'm only reading it"

2) The writer did write some shit and posted it on abc tales; the result being no comments, no cherrys, nuthin but resounding, threatening silence. The lack of response begins to feel like a punishment and the artistic fear of mediocrity comes vulturing in even though nobody's actually kicking the bucket. It just feels that way etc.
