ARE WE A DUMB BLONDE OR WHAT?!
The user info of the AI3 comm specifically states that on Wednesday nights, you do NOT have to use the LJ cut to talk about who got booted that week, and that if you aren't on the East Coast, you need to read the community with that in mind.

Regrettably, [info]courtney_beth can't read, and complains. Repeatedly. Spams, even. In caps. With multiple exclamation points, and nonironic use of "!!1!". She's not the only assclown who's complained, but she has been the most persistent. It seems this is the third week in a row someone has cut and paste the rules for her, but it's just not sinking in.

This being the Internet, everyone takes that as their cue to lose their shit. Also in all caps, multiple exclamation points, et cetera.

I can't wait for the finale, I'll tell y'all. If the season so far is any indication, when the winner comes in, we'll be strolling along in the land of wank and honey.

But mostly? Wank.

ETA: In the comments of this post, [info]janegraddell points out that courtney_beth is wanking all over the Harry Potter fandom, too and ranting about Cassie Claire and "plagerism" (she says she knows the REAL story, yo!). The girl actually proudly lists journals that have banned her from commenting in her user info. O_o Mental much?

Okay, that's a funny coincidence. This is the second time today that courtney_beth has made a blip on my wankdar. Being a relative unknown in Harry Potter fandom, and still attempting to find all the cool folks, I wandered by the newly-created hp_intros to see what it was about.

I found this rather bitter introduction from the aforementioned courtney_beth. Sounds like she's already fully supplied with Issues.

She's a journalism major. She can't be arsed to read the community rules, uses "!!1!" without irony, types in all caps... and she's a journalism major.

YOU! Out of the humanities!

Goodness, that post from [info]hp_intros is fantastic. Says she of Cassandra Claire:

We don't get along. I tried to give her constructive criticism and she banned me from her journal.

I wonder if she thought she was giving the AI3 community "constructive criticism" too.

Yeah, she's pretty much head of the class in the Fucking Delusional arena. Thinks she invented Harry/Draco and considers herself directly responsible every other major trend that has ever happened in HP (though she's, like, so over it all now). *hair flip*

Extreme bitterness and an utter lack of irony don't even begin to cover it. Just nod and smile.

I know, I felt like posting, "She's not a dumb blonde, she's just a dumb bitch."

More wankiness I just discovered: She actually has a list of people in her userinfo that have banned her from commenting in their journals. One of them happens to be a real-life acquaintance of mine. Why would anyone have a list like that unless they were wankers of operatic proportions?

I need my Captain Sisko "You make fandom suck donkey balls" icon so badly right now.

...and what is it they say about sarcasm being the lowest form of wit? Seems to suit her just fine. What I really want to know is, if she is a journalism major then how come she can't spell PLAGIARISM? I should have thought at least, being a journalism major, that she might have worked out how to open a dictionary - perhaps correct spelling is no longer required in the media.

Well, she's a self-professed grammar whore (check the bitter post), so obviously she's right and you're wrong.

You and your silly leetle OED! ;)


Plus, no, spelling and grammar are no longer considered an integral part of the news reporting process. Check out pretty much any newspaper front page. *facepalm*

C_B: I wonder if I'll get any flames for being:

1-- Anti-Cassandra Claire
2-- Having an anti-draco trilogy button
3-- Saying that mpreg is gross
4-- Bashing draco/harry

Lyke woah. I'm very evil tonight ;)

mirakate: No. Not here. But you will be reminded that wank is not allowed. Stating your opinion is one thing. Bashing people who disagree is another, and not acceptable. Thanks.


C_B: I agree to disagree, but I'd never wank. Wank takes things too far, I think. You can have a civilized conversation w/o going to that. As long as each person takes their side seriously, you can have a great debate =)



C_B? 'civilised conversations'? Heh.

Yeah, we've had a lot of people who got posted on F_W precisely because they "took their side (way WAYYYY too) seriously."

I guess saying YOU RUINED THE SHOW FOR ME, BITCH to the AI3 poster was well within her bounds of "intelligent disagreement."

Depending on what sorts of entries you write, I may/may not add you back.

Wow, for someone who doesn't like minions or eliteism she sure embraced all those minions quickly and she sounds pretty elitist and bitchy and snotty. I don't think I like her.

mirakate, responding to C_B: As long as each person takes their side seriously? That sounds like one of the prime causes of wank, rather than debate, especially in the fandom.

C_B: But I think that wank is a bunch of people being immature. You can have your beliefs, I can have mine, but it's when you get to the POINT of wankiness is where it starts. You know?


no, really...when you get to the point of something, it starts?

In her intro, it said that she used to be "dracolovesharry". DUDE, she used to wank in comics feed threads. And from that name and her actions, I thought she was like 13. Now I find out she's TWENTY. The mind, it boggleths.

I also love the way she calls herself out for flames on the HP intro thread. Issues, much?

If she doesn't want AI3 spoilers, why does she look at LJ on Wednesday nights?

Besides, if she gets her Journalism degree, she'll have to deal with spoilers for a living. Well, assuming that she works on/sees entertainment related stories... I don't know if anyone is nutty enough to think of "spoilers!" when he or she reads about international politics.
