Mini-West Wing Wank
Aww, look, alliteration!
A post is made in West Wing Fans this morning listing rumours about some of the cast members (and by "cast members", apparently terminator generally means "people who did a 2-ep guest spot").
Most of them are negative (although technically a lot of them are also mostly true, even though they're exaggerated), no source is cited, no explanation is given for the post, and I don't know about the rest of the people in that com, but I have no idea who the poster is.
People express dismay in the comments, defend Rob Lowe from the INJUSTICE of these unsubstantiated rumours, request a source for all this, and generally wonder wtf is going on. A search of the OP's user info and reading some of his back entries reveals that he apparently only started watching the show when he realized Alan Alda was on it. In a bizarre twist of events, comments start mysteriously disappearing.
Another post is made asking if the com has a mod. We're mostly a self-modding community, since A)no one knows who or where the mod is, and B)it's the West Wing. We only fight when the Josh/Donna shippers and the Josh/Amy shippers get going.
And then, the plot twist! The OP is the mod! Horrors, how did this happen?! Apparently the old mod hasn't posted in her journal since 2001, so your friend and mine, terminator, took over her account and modding duties. Yes, there has been a coup d'etat in the West Wing fandom.</span>
I didn't expect it to grow quite as quickly as it did, but now that we've apparently been taken over by a foul-mouthed moron, things should be more interesting.
edit: Sorry, didn't mean to kill everyone's friends page for the whole of the afternoon. No excuse other than being html's bitch. Hopefully it's fixed now.
