Serious bidness.
OK, I've used my time machine, a notepad, and some crayons and I think I've finally figured it out.

Fanfic writer [info]glossing answers a post about flames. This offends some people somewhere, so she posts an apology of sorts in her journal. Folks flip their shit, seemingly because she is really the devil incarnate, or at least a poopyhead. And she used the word "comprador" in a sentence once, thereby insulting all Asians everywhere. And then there were flaming cunts and defriendings and Switzerland.

Or something.

ETA: More links, because they're shiny.

ETA More: OK, the links aren't shiny. They're just made of cheese.

indicate the proper order to us perhaps? it won't change much for puzzled amblers-by, but it might make you feel a tad better, hmm.

Hah! Calling me on it!

Well, I'm biased, obviously but for me it starts two weeks ago, here:

http://glossing.livejournal.com/221710.html?thread=5149454#t5149454

Only because that's when I got fed up with it all and told gloss that was it and to stop it. (Seriously, I have absolutely NO power to influence or send tnh over to her LJ, I'm still working on my ability to mind control total strangers) - anyway, I told glossing off and said that was the final straw on my ignoring it.

Then the stuff in ely's LJ happened.

Then up_your_peach's entry, which wasn't, as she says in the disclaimers, actually about glossing. Then obsessedmuch's. THEN glossing's.

Than, in, I think, a response to the um, shall I say limited? Yes, the limited responses in glossing's lj that consisted of the "I don't know anything about this but I'm sure you're right!" came the fed up posts of violet, jane, myself, dana and so forth.

NOT that that clears up the wank one iota in terms of the reasons why it happened, but it really does make me feel better. I can't help it. I really, really like links.

I want you to know that this was one of the most singularly unhelpful summaries ever. But apparently that is par for the course with the whole lot of you.

I've never SEEN a wank field so clouded in mystery before. o.O

*snicker*

That's because it's not actually a fandom wank and doesn't actually have anything to do with fandom. You need special glasses to be able to read it all :)

Having been involved in situations where all the important stuff is way to personal to bring out into the open, I hear ya.

I've decided that it's way too much work trying to decode something that sounds like it's a Supersized serving of None Of My Fucking Business. But hey... at least I learned a new word... I think! :)

I'm just appalled at how rude she was to Teresa Neilson Hayden!!!! !!!

I've met her, she's the sweetest thing ever. When you have a big name editor reading your LJ and commenting, jeez... just be freaking polite!

To be fair, if someone I didn't recognize came into the middle of a debate in my journal and made a joke like the one TNH made, I'd be at a loss to interpret it correctly, too.

The extended explosion and paranoia all around, though? All [info]glossing. (And Dodyskin. Who the hell is Dodyskin, and why is her name familiar?)

Both of the Neilsen Haydens are great folks. I see 'em at Boskone every year or so. Just hope Teresa is going to be okay next year, what with the !@#$%^& medication issues she's having.

Ooops, the other links I mentioned are, in order except for glossing's which is at the bottom of that list, in this post: http://swmbo.livejournal.com/290371.html

Ignore my personal stuff at the beginning. Or the end or the middle, if you so choose!
