Yet another bad_rpers_suck post!
I'm sure we're all aware of Bad RPers Suck, where a group of people rant about...well...bad roleplayers. Then the fun starts when the bad roleplayer in question comes along and brings his or her friends. Then we have flame wars, get posted up here and then the flame wars begin again. But that's irrelevant to this story.

It starts off with this post, in which the question is asked about whether someone has ever cried over the death of their character. There's a few "um, it's just a game" but a lot of "oh, I know the feeling."

Presumably, minadraconia was one of the former in regards to the previous post, and then her sockpuppet friend, werskalen, posts the following rant written by minadraconia on her own journal. Not intended for said community, this rant was apparently about the aforementioned post about character death and how some people take roleplaying all too seriously (and how there are two entirely different methods of roleplaying -- emotionally vested and detached, but both can work equally well), but also about some other things too. Sadly, I can't get through the circular logic to the actual point. People take offence, presumably at the incoherence of said rant, but there are mentions of how we're better than you (closely followed by the "You have no friends because you're mean!"), although the comment about jazz hands amused.

I'd go on further, but I just can't make out what the hell's going on.
