Because I wasn't sure if clairvoyantwank would accept this (there are very little lulz in this report, unfortuntely):

thevelvetsun has a petition post calling for the LJ team to permenantly suspect the proanorexia comm. Not surprisingly, a lot of people support it.

However, there's a lot of wank brewing in the comments to the separate discussion entry in which defenders of the comm snipe back and forth with people who support [info]thevelvetsun's cause.

And this post makes an argument against shutting down proanorexia.

So you can guess how the rest of the argument is going to turn out.

If you want so badly for us all to know that your name is Gabrielle, why don't you change your name to "Gabrielle" on your info page and leave it at that? That way, everyone who wants to know your name can go look at the place that says "name" on your profile, and you can stop signing your posts like an annoying n00b, and everyone will be happy!

Even better, [info]gabrielle's not yet taken, and they're offering free renames at [info]rename_me.

That would be extremely effective in getting the name "Gabrielle" known, yes. Although it would involve yet another name-change for me to attempt to keep track of. Sigh.

I remember icons better than I remember names. Your bunny!Hiei is a case in point: I'll never remember "[info]puipui", but bunny!Hiei is indelibly in my mind and associated with you. As long as nobody else steals it and starts using it, that is.

Can I just ask what the hell her signing or not signing her name has to do with her argument? Just out of curiosity. To me it's a sign of you not having any good counter-argument. That is, after all, the most obvious reason to resort to a personal attack on someone who has not personally insulted you or done anything else to merit it.

It has nothing to do with her argument, and nobody ever said that it did. It's just really fucking annoying. Much like you.

No it doesn't have to do with her argument which was my point. What could have, and should have been an intelligent conversation or debate about a topic is now childish mocking because she signs her name.

You find her annoying, you find me annoying, you find, I would guess, anyone who doesn't agree with you annoying. So rather than involve yourself in intelligent argument you react like a six year old with name calling. I find that infinitely more annoying than a signature.

From the community info: Have fun, and please don't be an idiot. Thank you.

So sorry I thought that statement, combined with this being a journaling community for adults meant I wouldn't have to deal with childishness. My fault entirely.

Why? That's not why I'm here, nor was it why most people were here before 6A started being asses and the n00bs invaded. Were you not aware that this is a Fandom Wank affiliated comm? Were you not aware that this is the place for boobies and silliness and tangents that have absolutely nothing at all to do with the conversation at hand? Were you not aware that people wanting discussion and debate is why places like [info]fandom_debate and now [info]6a_cornfield exist on JF? Were you not aware that a brief skim of how we've both responded in this post shows that we seem to actually agree, and yet I still manage to find you really fucking annoying?

From the community info: Have fun

Do you understand the point of this community at all?

To be fair with our passive-aggressive n00b, we are supposed to be at least more civil over here than on the true FW comms.

But I hope that doesn't mean we're required to have intelligent conversations and debates over free spech and anorexia now.

Well, I read the community info but I apparently missed the part that said it was for assholes. Again my mistake. It says it's for fannish related issues. I was unaware that fannish discussion meant wank. I do get it is affiliated, it also says it's for things that don't belong on fandom_wank.

Nor was I aware that Have fun meant to be unnecessarily mean. I'm afraid I don't see name calling as "fun".

And yeah, I'm an annoying bitch when I see bullies, it's a huge character flaw that I've learned to live with. Much like you've apparently learned to live with being an asshole. I actually enjoy new people, it's rarely my desire to just chase everyone away. If that is, as you seem to imply, the goal of this community and you then it's obviously a place I don't belong.

Yes, and as I'm seeing it's obviously not a place I belong since general meanness and childishness doesn't appeal to me. I've never understood picking on other people just because you can.

Damn, you ARE new here, aren't you?

Pro Tip: fandom_wank affiliated community =/= prone to srs bzns "intelligent conversation or debate" without mocking or snark leveled from one side or another. Either put on your big girl panties and deal with it, or find somewhere else to pontificate.

In other words: LURK MOAR.

Mocking and snark about the actual subject I understand. Personal attacks I don't. I'm all for mocking her argument if you disagree with it, or hell even if you do agree with it but I assumed, apparently wrongly, that anything in the user info was actually accurate. Fandom_wank related or not, this does not say it's a wank community. So I assumed it was for other reasons. Why have all these connected comms that do exactly the same thing.

I failed to see how that equals to serious debate.

Now, if you were on [info]fandom_discuss, you could have all the serious/intelligent debate you want.

No, we find newbies who don't know how the culture works over here annoying. Now I'm starting to think I shouldn't make any more accounts over at leavin_eljay, because obviously it will just result in more people who will insult everyone else and refuse to understand.

Evidently you missed the "please don't be an idiot" part of that statement.
