Knowing the shit that happened to popular 19th- and 20th-century writers, I cannot agree with you. The entitlement issue is as old as the Lascaux drawings. I can just imagine a random caveman walking up to the artist and telling him some complete nonsense about his preferred drawing techniques.

NAYRT Have you got an example you can give us? That sounds really interesting.

I think my favourite story is about Conan Doyle's being physiognomized by an Egyptian policeman who was given written instructions based on the SH stories. The man told Doyle that he 'showed criminal tendencies'.

http://books.google.ee/books?id=f2HGhZki-8MC&pg=PA1848&lpg=PA1848&dq=%22criminal+tendencies%22+Conan+Doyle&source=bl&ots=mwkDQXbOdM&sig=v7opG-vsbGcqcCvsGdxE2JdWC1Y&hl=en&sa=X&ei=KGiKU5iDGs714QSLtoGoCw&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22criminal%20tendencies%22%20Conan%20Doyle&f=false

Not sure if that's the kind of thing the original anon meant, tbh, but the obnoxiousness and pervasiveness of Doyle's fanbase was truly astounding.

I'll post more links if I can get them; the issue with 20th-century poets, in particular, was that there was way more direct poet-to-public interaction than there is now. So entitlement was inevitable.
