ways to annoy me...

[tommygirl]

So here's the thing. I'm a pretty laid back person, pretty "whatever floats your boat" type of thinker, especially where the Internet is concerned. I don't think fandom should be stressful or filled with drama and I try to keep my experience limited to people who share those sentiments.

But just to be clear, one way to get immediately on my bad side never to return from there is to start attacks on people, especially hiding behind "anonymous." You have a problem with someone, you go to them. Privately. You don't involve the whole fucking fandom/internet.

I try to be a good friend and kind and do what I can for fandom, but I'm hardly a perfect person. I hold a fucking grudge and can be quite a vindictive bitch. So if I find out people on my friends list are running or participating in hate memes where they're bashing other people (whether I know these people or not), I will ban you from my journal. That's how much that sort of thing pisses me off.

And now I will return to writing my spn holiday story. I will finish this...even though all I really want to do is find good Tony-centric fic for NCIS.

All I can really muster up at this point is hear fucking hear.

Dude. It's just, the more I'm hearing about what happened, the more I think this person is just crazy.

[lyra-wing.livejournal.com]

This new wank is seriously grating my cheese.

Like you, I normally don't care, but I HATE how this one seems to be causing so many hurt feelings. It really pisses me off.

*in a huff*

Dude, it's not even "The BNFS write crappy fic, why are they so popular?"

It's just MEAN stuff about people's real lives, not even fandom stuff. Who does that crap in a public place? I'm not saying that we're all going to like *every* person in fandom or vice versa, but there are ways to handle things.

...what am I missing?

Best place to go is sevenfists to find out what happened.

Basically, new hate meme, but geared at like ten people and it was really just mean.

[girlmostlikely.livejournal.com]

WORD to that. I am sick and fucking tired of fandom bullshit.

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

I just don't get the point of it, especially in a fandom as big as SPN. And really, if someone's fic sets you off that badly that you write down such vitriolic things about people you don't know, maybe someone needs some therapy.

Hells yes. I'm a bitch, but at least I'm a bitch to your face - that's my motto. :)

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

me too. And I won't involve the rest of the Internet either. I'll email that personally directly and be a complete bitch there.

I have been meaning to ask... what exactly is going on? Wank-wise? I have very little idea.

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

Basically it was a hate meme, but it was geared at a few people in particular and it was really nasty. It's gone now and I think everyone's trying to move on so I think most stuff on the topic has been deleted...but yeah, that's about the gist of it. It was just mean and unnecessary and anyone who uses "anonymous" to be hurtful, well, I have no need for them in my life, ya know?

[random-serious.livejournal.com]

Oh, OK. Well, thanks for thw info. Here's hoping this fandom stays nice and cozy and warm.

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm with you. And while I made this post, I really don't think anyone on my friends list would do something like that, thank the lord.

[snapes-angel.livejournal.com]

I still have not gone back far enough in my friends list to find these hate memes. I wonder, do I really want to? It's very confuzzlnig.

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

I think most of it was deleted now at the request of those targeted in the whole thing. But basically it was a hate meme that was very specifically geared to a few people and it was just personal attacks. Not cool, ya know?

[snapes-angel.livejournal.com]

Not cool at all, It was that wrestling thing, wasn't it? I never watched that show, mainly because I've never been a fan of wrestling.

There's no excuse for flames and personal attacks. Disagreements, maybe, but not attacks, especially anonymous ones.

My first huge WORD of '07. I don't even want to know everything that went down in the underbelly while I was otherwise occupied, but seriously - that shit is just unforgivable. Preach it sister!
