I've only seen the authors behaving badly thing in passing but that was enough to make me have very angry thoughts... I stand by what I tell my 101 students: if your reader misunderstands you it's more than likely YOUR fault. Not theirs! You can't run after your paper/story/essay/book and tell folks, you're reading it wrong! That's how you should interpret it!!!
