Finished HBP. I Need Some Serious Love. . ., Just can't believe JK., a thread on Portkey, started by one Veronica.

" Hi guys. I'm a newbie and I'm pissed, depressed, embarrassed, disgusted, betrayed, angry, dumbfounded, and every other negative emotion that exists. I JUST finished reading HBP last night (I'd been punished for the last year and got my priveledges back a week ago--don't ask for the reason) and I can't even BELIEVE this is real. I actually had to CHECK the cover and publishers and author to make sure I had the right thing in my hands. I've never been so let down. I was more depressed than when my dog I'd had since I was born died."

This mid-February post is Veronica's first and last post ever on Portkey. She couldn't be more obviously a troll if she was carrying a club and hanging out under a bridge. I can't say she has too much time on her hands, as this seems to be the least-amount-of-input-for-maximum-reaction style of trolling.

4:39pm: Over at the ball-jointed doll forum Den of Angels, user haha has a question:

Do dolls really have to marry dolls (if they want to get married)?"

haha wants to know:

i am just curious. if i get an engagement ring for my boy and myself, is it weird/crazy/mad to you? i treat my dolls not as my "kids", but as my "boyfriends". does anyone else do the same thing?

can dolls be married to their owners instead of another (or other) dolls?

Responses, naturally, vary; they range from "I'd say, marry who you like- that's for you AND your dolls...." to "if you are substituting dolls to fill normal family roles then it's time to get help." It is generally unclear whether the OP is serious or kidding.

Of course we could not have this discussion without accusations of closed-mindedness: juumou announces that "It sounds like there are some less-opened minded people here."

As if that weren't enough, we also have omichao and possibly Guide declaring their asexuality, and the requisite ad-hominem attack by Chachamaru: ""unique situation" Since when being a teenage girl pretending to be a man considered a "unique situation", just another reason to call a shrink in my opinion."

Really, the entire thread is lots of fun. It has everything, including mods stepping in and telling people to behave, and someone bitching about spelling! And if we assume everyone is going to ignore the modly pleas for civility (which is a safe bet on most message boards, really), this baby's just getting started.
