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.

What could have, and should have been an intelligent conversation or debate

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.

We've got to stop this disturbing trend. Quick, Robin, to the SnarkMobile!

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.

I read the user info took it at face value. Had I realized affiliated with, meant the same as, I wouldn't have bothered thinking that a comm that says it's for fandom discussion and metafandom ponderings was a place for me.

Apparently I look at fandom very differently than the people here.

It's not the same as. We aren't here to necessarily mock people doing stupid /funny things elsewhere on the web. But we do mock when people take themselves too seriously, or when we find things annoying. This is not a land of happy bunnies. There's no rule against mocking annoying things.

You're perfectly free to be here, because you're amusing me. But no one has to be nice to you.

Adult != sriuz bizness all the time.

Also, it's impressive how we've all moved on, and yet this would still appear to be an active post. Wishful thinking? Short attention span? General stupidity? All of the above?

Indeed. I'm guessing for the Wishful Thinking, but I suspect it's actually the stupidity.

For someone who has "moved on" why did she create a comm on IJ called Fandom Love?

I've started this community because despite what I've seen on other journaling sites I don't believe that fandom is all about wank and hate, or that having fun necessarily means being cruel to other people.

Sounds like a butthurt to me. Especially since she stole Fandom Love's name.

Oh, good, I'm glad to see that you've come to this realization. And nobody had even called you a whore yet! You are so quick on the draw!

Fandom Wank = Hive Vagina

Fandom Lounge = Asshole(s) Associated with Hive Vagina

FW in terms of anatomy - It all makes sense now! Hallelujah!

Yes, and if the user info had said that...or something similar then I never would've been involved in any way.

And because the comments come in my email and your a dumbass who can't read...

I posted the comment you're replying to at 17:29:23, it is now: 19:28:11.

If you're going to be a smart ass check the times, I posted it two hours ago. Just because you're just now reading it doesn't mean I just posted it.

Well, you were replying to me in another thread much sooner, as well as right here.

And my ass has a B.A. (Baccalaurate of Ass) from the University of Undergraduate Asschievement in CouchPotato Studies, thank you very much.
