: Episode V: The Anonymice Strike Back
200 comments in, and the Smallville wank continues to go south faster than Clark on red Kryptonite. Several anonymous posters have ripped on or defended rosenho-lexcorp_hope-Hope-j_keller. However, one person took it to another level and created a sockpuppet journal claiming to be Hope. Obviously, it wasn't. Does that make it a socksockpuppet journal? a sockpuppetpuppet journal?
Infinityhope had several entries and open comments earlier today, but now has only one entry and s/he has disabled comments.
Shaggirl vents "YOU MAKE THE INTERNET SUCK."
Shannenb is confused because she's not even in SV fandom anymore.
Suzycat doesn't "give a flying fuck."
Elrond50 offers up a hearty helping of Bitch PLEASE.
ETA: Dude, that was fast. Infinityhope posted another entry chiding the reaction to his/her LJ. Also, s/he completely deleted the friendslist.

( You all need mothers to tell you to apologize and shake hands once in a while. You'll be better for it. )Er, yeah. That told us? Infinityhope friended 40 or so people, apparently at random. True, some of them are still involved in SV to varying degrees, but several of them haven't watched the show in years, let alone participated in fandom. The people included have varying reactions.

( Awww apparently I hurt someone's feelings since I was placed on this Troll's friends list. )However, there are bigger issues. Pun is not a fan of anonymity.
( You know what always pings my outrage button every single time? Anonymous sniping. )And autumnyte questions the ethics of sharing of friends-locked posts with others.
( The friends lock doesn't seem to be as widely respected a boundary as it once was. )This is just... wow. I've been in this fandom since the beginning and posted several Smallville wanks here (and on blurty and livejournal back in the day). But this is a level of hatred that surpasses even the early days when self-proclaimed BNFs reigned supreme. Amazing. (To clarify: I am referring to the general level of hatred aimed at Hope, not anything said by those I linked above.)
ETA: Dude, that was fast. Infinityhope posted another entry chiding the reaction to his/her LJ. Also, s/he completely deleted the friendslist.
( I really was not seeking attention. I was seeking to get my message across, but aside from that, I'm pretty much done with everyone. )So another Hope leaves Smallville fandom. This is so circular!
