Tumblr users take to streets; Misha Collins is world's greatest tree-murdering monster
Remember that Misha Collins Youtube video I told you about? Obviously filmed last summer, it briefly shows the exterior of the Vancouver-area building in which the Collins family is temporarily living.

A fan used the landmarks shown in the video to locate the Collins's address, and proceeds to tape the URLs of fan Tumblrs to trees around the building.

Misha fans totally flip their shit and try to arrange for Vancouver-based fans to remove any signs before anyone sees them.

Meanwhile, a new tumblr pops up defending the actions of the rogue URL-taper because Misha Collins has killed thousands of hypothetical people. Also, one time Misha cut down a dead tree and replanted it in a traffic island with a sarcastic Latin plaque on it which shows more disrespect for trees than taping paper to them.

Interestingly, as briefly mentioned in some of the above posts, there is a fan project to hand-write dozens (or hundreds) of fan's tumblr URLs in a book and give it to MC at a fan conference. What he's supposed to do with them is unclear, especially considering that tumblr users often change their URLs, and that Misha doesn't understand what Tumblr is. Then again, neither do I, and I've been using the site for two years.

Wow, that alicia2343 person is kind of crazypants. And yet, somehow, this is the part that stands out for me:

One of the trees wasn’t even near his house, but by his house.

Apparently, in crazypants language, there is a difference between these two things?

I read several posts and I can't even figure out what side of this she is on and why. Apparently she wants to defend this particular Misha fan even though she hates all tumblr Misha fans and Misha himself? Or possibly because of that? I am confused.

"By" has a connotation of closer than "near" to me, if it's contrasted like this. Like, one tree is right by his house, on his front lawn, but the one that's near is about a block away.

It does to me too, except the gist of the post seems to be that putting a flyer on a tree by his house is even less worthy of censure than putting one on a tree near his house.

Not that I can really follow all this very well.

It could be a garbled way of saying that there's a difference between the tree being on and/or off his property. Posting something ON his property = trespassing, versus posting something NOT on his property = actually legal.

Which is technically true. Still profoundly stupid for a lot of other reasons, but that one point is technically true.

maybe sillypants there meant "not just near, but right by"

that or they meant to say "office" on one and said "house" instead?
