I had a nice exchange of e-mails with the reader who sent me the twit-fest about me allegedly no longer writing. I politely explained that I had lost my job in traditional publishing and had chosen to go freelance. I didn't give any other details. I also didn't say anything nasty, no matter how much I wanted to. I then directed the reader to the free reads page on PBW, which was news to the reader. They thanked me and encouraged me to consider self-pubbing.
So all's well that ends that way. I'm giving myself a pat on the back for being cordial under duress. :)

Good for you! Sometimes, it's very hard to remain nice.
