From the WTF files of fandom...
Craigslist is a free want ad service originally meant for those people who really want to trade those macramé plant-holders for a surfboard. It’s evolved since then, gone global and added a few new categories, among them Rants and Raves. Generally, R & R is where posters complain about the opposite sex and their jobs / coworkers - or occasionally some freak looking for child pornography - but I digress.

Well LA, despite those people who keep coughing about Aerospace, really is a one-industry town, and apparently, people in it are sick of Nora Ephron.

It starts off here: Nora Ephron is a C*nt

Quit Dissing Nora Ephron!

Nora Ephron=HACK!!!

But wait! Ms. ephron has fans (who knew?!) who won't stand for their hero being bashed and bring out the big guns, aka; CAPS OF RAGE and the U R JELUS card:

Nora's a successful woman and you can't deal with that

Nora Ephron is SO talented!

...and more:

The Filthy Critic Says "Fuck You Ephrons!"

This is still going, but More to the point, yikes, who knew Nora Ephron had fans?!

	Me either, so IMDB to the rescue! http://imdb.com/name/nm0001188/ I can see why people would be so enthusiastic to diss her work. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	...but on Craigslist? though I suyppose it's not like there's a flourishing Ephron fandom with communities and stuff for Ephron-haters to troll. Is there? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The rest of the threads are . . . wow. "You're not allowed to have conservative opinions in Liberal California." Home of Reagan, William Randolph Hearst, and Nixon? Uh-huh. California is really big state with pockets of different political opinions. Now, if this was in Massachusetts, well, he might have a case, speaking as a screaming leftie. (Reply to this)
