Beware the O's of DOOM!
A slow but surprisingly long-wearing (and particularly stupid) wank has been brewing for a while at the livejournal invader_zim community. I wanted to see if it would continue to develop before bringing it here, but it has been going on and off for DAYS now, so it seems like now's as good a time as any...



It begins here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/invader_zim/968422.html

14 year old girl mad_bug, who hasn't had access to cable for two years posts your standard psychotic "OMG Nick will burn in hell for cancelling the show!" whine... but the entire post is "NOOOOO", extended for something like 45 lines. (No, I didn't want to count them all to be precise).

Naturally, some community members protest, given this is almost three year old news now:

mithfalas: yes. welcome to 2002. I mean 4.
rongwrong:: What's the deal with this recent epidemic of borderline-illerate delayed-reaction Nickelodeon-bashing from the newer members of the community?

Within SECONDS abyslon is screeching about elitism and OMG YUR SO MEAN:
It's nice to see how friendly people in this community are to new comers.
Very elitist.

thrice_bound doesn't like mean people either:
GET THE HELL OUT OF THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE, GUESS WHAT, IT'S A COMMUNITY AND PEOPLE GET TO POST!

Espii shows up to give moral support to mad_bug:

You are ALL being really mean!!! Bug is cooool!!! so what is she overdoes the 'Nooooooooooooooooo's?

visit her journal. it rox my moose!!!

woth love
espii

... and then the wank seems to die. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

thrice bound, who told everyone to get the hell out of the comm, now appears and makes this (marked) OT post to the comm: http://www.livejournal.com/community/invader_zim/969558.html basically ripping everyone a new one for being OMG TEH MEEN:

The entire purpose in joining a community is to interact with people. This means being able to tolerate people's quirks. I, my self, go overboard with O's, and E's when I type. I've even, in the past in my private journal entries, done essentially what this person did. It's something people do. But, you know what, that doesn't entitle people to be mean.

espii lets us all know what a great and wonderful person mad_bug is:
I'm glad someone stuck up for poor, poor Bug. She's a young girl who's only joined LJ in the last week, and she's actually a very funny person who's kind and (incerdibly) random. She is without a doubt the most random person i've ever met. She sings random songs about Cookies and bendy straws. And so what is she goes a bit overboard with the "NOOOOOOOOOO's"? You've all obviosly never been in an MSN convosation with her.

and:

"Leave my friend alone, she's a nice berson that whouldn't hurt a fly. (maybe a really mean fly...) and i really don't think she deserves this!"

and after a few barbs from pinky_pseudonym, espii pulls the OMG I'm LEEVING line and apparently departs the community... or wait, no, she hasn't!

trippy hare offers Voice of Reason: Number one, if a few extra vowels bug you, you need some serious anger management, because it is less than totally trivial. Number two, if a comment made about you on the int0rwebnet is so upsetting that you have to recruit other people to defend you, you need thicker skin.

And it seems to die down AGAIN. BUT WAIT!

Chibikeba is losing what little faith she had in humanity over the mean peeps in the comm...

AND THEN:

Five days later, mad_bug is back with a
list of the 10 reasons why everyone should be nice and not yell at her:


1. i am a 14 year old GIRL
2. the first time i EVER saw invader zim was in october this year... 2004. so i thought it was pretty knew. (i was on holiday in queensland and they had cable)
3. i RARLEY get on the inter net, let alone check on nick.com to see if invader zim was still on cos there would be no point (i dont hav cable)
4. i apologise for my 'spamming' of your prescious friends page
5. i cant be bothered spelling things prperly on the internet
6. i am not a mole
7. i apologise if this is spamming up your friends page but i really dont care
8. i would appreciate it if you didnt yell at me cos i live under an extremely large rock
and finnaly 9. i dont care if you think im a 'fluffy' cos i finsih my posts with 'blessed be' and that i am a newby wiccan. I DONT CARE!!!!

that is all i have to say, please dont yell... it hurts.

blessed be. ~~~ mad_bug ~~~
P.S - i will not make the mistake of crossing you all again with my o's

Here, the wank-grenade goes off, splintering into seperate spoogy flechettes (HURRAY!)

modest_fairie leaps in:

I don't want to explode but yeah your whole post makes me want to kill things. Don't start shit in a community. Grow up. Learn how to spell. If you say you're Wiccan you really need to read more into your religion. It makes me asshamed with that whole "blessed be" thing. At least have enough compassion to not make another stupid comment/post.

Meanwhile! Absalom and hamst3rhamham argue about whether people are allowed to be rude!

mad_bug shrieks:
what have i done wrong now?
WHY DONT YOU PPL JUST LEAVE ME ALONE??? WHY!?!?!?!????
oh but know i guess im just spamming ur friends page with exclamation and question marks!!

Various people snark responses to mad_bug's Top Ten Excuses list.

And it SEEMS to wrap with mad_bug taking her toys and leaving, the classic sign of Wank Fulfillment:

i am sick of all you ppl yelling at me and accusing me of spamming and things so for the last time i apologise cos i am shutting down my journal OK? HAPPY KNOW??? I H8 U ALL!!!!!!! except for sum ppl who r actually nice. i hope. actually i dought there truthfullness. but if you actually were nice. thankyou i appreciate it. but yeh. i am shutting donw my journal and shutting you all out.

She has, to all visible account, actually done this.

The spoodge is still flying as I compile this though: is this TRULY the end of the wank?

Whoops! No! The post was bah-leeted. Too bad I saved it!



...Man, I'm worn out from catching all this wank. Anyone got a tissue?
