That sounds exactly right, Suzy. Diarrhea is going to burn, in most cases. The liquid BMs not only probably have a higher acid content, but obviously can also "seep" around the fissure site much more than a formed stool would.
For me, even a mushy stool would burn like crazy, every time. Most people want a toothpaste consistency, but event that was rough on me...everyone is different. And in general, "real" diarrhea is going to be rough on the fissure, do your best to avoid it being "explosive' when expelled because that can really rip you.
But don't panic, as it sounds like you are just getting a typical fissure reaction, it doesn't sound unusual at all..
Hope it gets better FAST!!
