More from the wank that doesn't stop wanking.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/watchful_entity/

This wank is so spectacular that it deserves a second post, I think. 697 comments? Not bad.

Only the HP fandom - with obligatory references to GT - can hit these heights of wank. As with all classic HP wanks, a huge compendium of past wankery is enclosed within those 700-odd comments!

Troll, or genuine? Discuss.

	Hee! http://www.livejournal.com/users/entity_watcher/ Wow. Wanktastic! The first post in http://www.livejournal.com/users/watchful_entity/ is up to 40 comments, and the second is up to 762. Yes, I admit, a few of those are mine... (Reply to this)

I actually spotted that thing when I got up this morning when there were only about ten comments on each thread.

The complete irony of it all was that I decided to say to myself, "Hey, Houie! I think you should check your friendslist for any newcomers today!"

I KNEW "watchful_entity" was suspicious.

And so, I commented a few times and splatted it up on FW, because I figured the whole shitbag would be of interest/disgust.

	Yeah, there's just too much fun going on in the comments not to jump in and play.

	And the original poster has now made another inane entry which says nothing other than she/he speaks six languages. I wonder if the incoherence shows up in the other five? That second entry's comments are at 1031 and going strong. Fun times. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Troll! At least... Maybe she (this can't be a he, for sure) knows the "friend" she's talking about, but she definitely isn't who she claims she is. I think she speaks English pretty well in RL, because it looks like she's intentionally making mistakes. She claims it's her 6th (!) language, when she makes the mistakes of a native speaker (your/you're, run on sentences, phonetic mistakes, etc.). I think this person is laughing really hard right now, and saving and bookmarking all mentions. I definitely don't believe it's a real "watching" experiment.

Well, http://www.livejournal.com/users/lissinthecity/96177.html now says:

"Edited to add: Okay, okay, I'll admit it. Y'all found me out. The troll is me. I had hoped the horrible spelling and the lack of commas would cover me, but I think the pink gave me away. Was it the pink? Was it the adding of myself? Was it the sheer stupidity of announcing I was watching you all in the first place? Didn't know I could be so wanky, did ya? *flounces away dramatically*"

I have no idea if that statement is true or not, I'm just callin' what I'm seein'.

*has vision of everyone on the watched list stepping forward saying "I'm watchful_entity" and gets goosebumps*

Maybe it's a true statement?

*boggle*

The street festival of wank continues in the watchful_entity journal, of course...

	Someone in Harry Potter fandom needs to publish a cliffs notes to wanks and flamewars. I'm so lost as an outsider. What's this whole thing about? Was there some grand kerfluffle among H/G shippers? What is the purpose of "the hidden room" community? So many more questions... (Reply to this)(Thread)

Ah, Harry Potter fandom, they love to feed trolls. This person is obviously a sockpuppet, created by some of the same people arguing with him.

We have seen this before. Remember pottersginny and fermatojam? Wacky people who offend everyone and at the same time trying to affiliate themselves to Gryffindor Tower and causing much drama and wankiness. They also turned out to be fake and not who they claimed they were.

Someone has a lot of LJ codes at their disposal.

I wonder if the trolls sit huddled up in some dingy appartment with a phone line and a laptop giggling to one another.

"I got six hundred replies before lunch."

"That's nothing, I sent that one over there into a fit of hysterics."

"I turned up the grammer mistakes and said some weird shit about Jesus, and they're STILL writing to me though I stopped replying three days ago."

"Keep an eye on these two here. I think I might have ruined a friendship."

"When's the next post due?"

"About three hours before the majority dismisses us entirely."

	Personally, I thought the thing a joke. I mean, it was just to bizarre for words. :P Then again this IS Harry Potter fandom and we all know there are all kinds of uber weirdos in that fandom. :P Mind you, I was so pissed my LJ didn't get watched. Humph... (Reply to this)(Thread)
