This one almost speaks for itself.
It's Godwin's law going into it! Babywank, as of yet, but there is potential here for some glorious spooge.

Deleterius has a new icon, and the denizens aren't happy.

Being called canon nazis is one thing, but adopting an image to say so? There's a line there, apparently, and it's been crossed.

Knowing Tviokh, the fact that the icon pisses people off is only impetus to keep that bastard up there for as long as humanly possible.

ETA: Someone backs up the talk and walks, and the wank continues there.

Further ETA, as my attention was called to it: Here endeth the wank...?

Something else to add on!

Tvioh decides to wank even harder!

It's mah party! and I'll wank if I want to!

A few things:

If you want to leave the community, leave. Nobody else really gives two fucks about your self righteous farewells and there are plenty of people to replace your postings (if you even posted stories here at all).

I'm unsure as to why some people seem to think the icon is a 'joke'; it's not meant as a joke. The symbol, in that rotation, is rather synonomyous with the word 'nazi'. I used it in place of the word. I find it most amusing that 99% of those of you who were oh so offended by the icon would have had no issues had I used the actual word. To use a cliche, a rose is a rose.

The more you whine, the longer I'll keep it up.

Apparently some people got the idea that the icon came from some thread I never read about pushing limits. The icon came from this exchange

I have no intentions of apologizing to the whiners, nor will I change the icon to appease them. It's not my fault you get way too worked up over a community icon. I happen to like the icon, and if you don't, go wibble about it with your friends on AIM or post an angry rant in your own journal. I don't care, and it doesn't belong in the community.

Further posts regarding the OMG EVILS!!!11q!!!!! of the icon or drama queen "I'm LEAVING! *FOOTSTOMP*" posts will be deleted as is the general protocol with wildly OT posts.



Discussion over.
None of this is up for debate.
Carry on with the sporkings.

A mousey (*whistles innocently*) posted this to the AQ wank regarding list mods, etc and why abundantlyqueer was Old School Fen because she posted her fic somewhere ELSE besides LJ (not like these n00b writers)!

Yeah, because the members of ye olde mailing lists were such paragons of restraint, good behavior and taste. Sorry, maybe all the BNF's just got tired of draconian list mods orgasming on fucking power trips and head games. At least on LJ you have some control over what you post and how it is presented, and you don't have to go sucking some menopausal list mod's big toe to keep on her good side just so you can have access to a reader audience.

Or at least you didn't before Tviokh. Heh. Same old tantrum queens, new medium. No wonder dinosaurs died out.

Word. If I had to choose between the icon and having the community shut down, there's nothing to think about.

You know probably 2-3 people have complained already. :\

What makes the idea of being reported a little more academic is the buyout. No idea what the new company is like, or how their interpretation of the ToS would differ from Brad and Company.

Nah, she's pretty much done with it and would prefer the community go back to sporking fics rather than wanking all over the ol' flist with self righteous "U SUCK AND I'M LEAVING" posts.

If people want to leave over something so silly, they can feel free to do so.
I delete most wildly OT/non fandom related posts, and smarmy goodbye posts are no exception.

Yes, and some deleterius members would like that too.

I'm really tired of hearing about that damn icon. People are upset/offended and that's fine, I suppose. It's their choice. I just wish they would have kept the whole thing in one thread for convenience/neatness sake.

I just don't want the community to be gone tomorrow by LJ/SixApart because you decided to dig in your heels. The icon might violate TOS and your ego isn't worth more than the funny yo.

Yes, but which is worth more to you? The icon, or the people in your community?

Not to mention that if you think the wank here was bad, you really should check out what happened all over the UK and a lot of Europe after Prince Harry's stunt.
