Dear Lord, FIGURE SKATING WANK...
In the spirit of figure skating, it's mostly polite wank, but it is wank nonetheless. Mostly, RedDog and Joesitz turning yet another thread into a battle of how RedDog hates Michelle Kwan--no he doesn't--yes he does, interspersed with a debate on why Michelle Kwan's fans are frequently villified (answer: because a small percentage are batshit insane, much as a small percentage of H/Hr shippers in the HP fandom are tarred by the behavior of Harmonian fanatics), the usual, futile, calls for mercy, a tangent on board elitism, "I know you are but what am I" directed at fans of Sasha Cohen and Irina Slutskaya and even, once in a while, actual discussions of figure skating and the original topic (an article by a reporter/blogger who was flamed by "Kwaniacs", the comments on which are actually a wank in and of themselves.)

Here it is and I for one am not getting involved. It's threads like these that make me glad Ladies' is my LEAST-favorite skating discipline.
