Mini-sized BSG wank
Once upon a time, there was a BSG fan named [info]starpollo who ran a Kara/Lee themed icon contest, [info]karalee_ic. At some point she got burnt out on running the contest and announced that there would be no more rounds.

Then some time between then and now, [info]starpollo decided to go and delete the comm, a fact which was discovered by [info]anastashial. Alarmed by the loss of all those K/L icons, [info]anastashial sent a message to [info]starpollo urging her to undelete the comm.

However she also felt the need to announce this to the entire [info]battlestar_blog community in a post that included a copypasta of her message to [info]starpollo, a message I might add that smacks a little of fannish entitlement and self-importance.

This goes over about as well as you'd expect.

Small for the moment, but hopefully will grow.

Edit: Good grief, the OP also posted the same post, complete with copypasta, to the [info]sasa_hq comm. Somebody's awfully determined.

Edit 2: And on beyond_insane as well. And that last link is likely to get especially wanky since [info]starpollo herself has gotten involved.

I am also direct and forthright when I have something to say. I say what I think and pull no punches. That trait allows all sides of an issue to be put on the table regardless of their potential unpopularity.

Unfortunately, what at least 95% of people who say that really mean is, "I don't actually care whether or not I'm being reasonable and/or polite, but I'm going to try to pass it off as a valid difference in communication styles."

They're usually the people who equate "politeness" with "dancing around the issue" and "being sugary," too.

She's also posted the same request in beyond_insane and leeadama_daily (in which the first commenter asks for her thoughts on yaoi). Since they and her sasa_hq post were all posted today within ten minutes of each other, it looks like [info]triala was right and she's just methodically posting this in every comm to which she has access. All in the name of totally not harassing [info]starpollo, of course.

While I definitely thing the OP is being a wee bit...batshit? I've never understood the need to completely delete a comm just 'cause it's going dead. It has pissed me off in the past when I've lost links to fic/art/etc because the mod of a comm not only didn't want to continue running it or hand it over to someone else, but decided to completely erase all memory of it.

The danger, yeah, of Teh Internets and LJ and all of that. But I still do think it's kind of unfair to those who contributed, at least unless the comm mod offered up and said "OK this comm is going down on X date - backup and take what you want now before it's gone!"

Small, tasty wank covered in the thick syrup of entitlement, with a little sprig of missing-the-point parsley on top. Okay, I dragged that metaphor a bit too far.

I don't know if it'll go much further, though. [info]anastashial seems to be showing some kind of earth logic here after [info]starpollo made her comment. I'm as surprised as anyone.

I wish we got more F_W posts these days, they keep up my morale during the end-of-the-semester crunch.

As far as BSG wank goes, this is pretty mild. anastashial is just very determined.

Once upon a time, in a magical land full of rainbows and ccokies and happiness, someone deleted a livejournal community and it ended well.

Sadly, this magical place and the real world have nothing in common with each other.

New to the interwebz?

I heart this comment on the beyond_insane post. In case deleted, and just because I want to look at it again:

Ok, so I rarely even make icons, cause my photoshop skills are minimal, and I wasn't a member of this icon community, so I won't weigh in on what should and should not be done. But I guess I find this scary cause I didn't even know an LJ community could be deleted in it's entirety.

This means all the feedback in the form of comments to people who post fic, fanmix's, icons, etc, on any community could be lost, right?

If that's the case, I don't care how vain it sounds, I'm digging up all my old fic posts and copying all the comments on them into a word document, just in case.


bolding mine.
