Something*Positive: where no one comes out smelling like roses. Moved from ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif)
clairvoyantwank.
One of the main rules of LJ's Something*Positive feed is that you do not point out typos or other mistakes in the feed itself. It annoys the artist (Randy) to no end—he would prefer that you e-mail him mistakes instead.
Of course, not everyone knows this. Some people are jerks about it; Randy, in particular, gets pissed.
Pissed enough to post to the feed about it. Reactions are mixed, at first—the usual, "Please don't delete the feed!" and whatnot.
Then someone makes a comparison to Anne Rice, and suddenly, it's okay to criticize.
Accusations of having a "diva" attitude, of being told to grow the fuck up, and other plesantries abound, until both sides manage to make themselves look like complete idiots. Fun all around!
