"I barely have any skin left on my palm!"
Yes, Supernatural fandom, we have arrived!
I'm not exactly sure what's going on here, but some panties are certainly in a bunch.
So first traveller makes a filtered post (since unlocked) about fandom politics, and her distate thereof. I tried reading the whole thing, but the lack of capital letters hurt my brain, so here's the gist of it:
today i made a reading filter to exclude exactly one person. she told me she was adding me as a "handshake gesture" because we were both so important to fandom that our perceived feud (there was no feud, there was just a whole lot of me not caring about her opinions, her fic, or her - as lalas would say, i had no opinion on rob zombie) and she suggested that i do the same in return in order to demonstrate to our multitudes that look, we've got a détente, we've got perestroika and the START treaty, look. although, she added, it was fine with her if i didn't add her back, but she was going to do her part for the good of the fandom .
And:
in the end, as much as it made my teeth hurt to do it, i added her back. and today, i filtered her out.
we don't have much at all in common. we can barely exchange three civil sentences. we don't agree on... just about anything. i don't enjoy her posts. i don't enjoy her stories. why are we DOING this? is she right? are people so weak minded that the very idea that two so-called BNFs don't like each other is going to lead to some kind of great meltdown? whatever happened to just... live and let live?
Meanwhile, ethrosdemon's ears are burning:
I was completely genuine when I told you I wanted to get along. I, unlike you, am a genuine person who expresses honest feelings and don't feel the need to make myself feel better by belittling others. As a matter of fact, that type of behavior is disgusting and reprehensible. If you wanted to upset me, you win. As a matter of fact, you have now hit every one of your objectives in insulting, alienating, and provoking me. I am publically stating that I do not like you. This makes me look like a cuntface. Since I know that was your intention, I say BRAVO. Bravissmo! Well played. Very well played, indeed.
I would email you about this, because that's how I roll, BUT I know you would just post it locked to your lj, so it's rather pointless.
However, the position of my fandom nemesis has already been taken--your application has been stamped *denied*. Please get on with ignoring me, and I shall do the very same.
And:
PfuckingS: Dear fucking PADDYWHACK. This is almost unfuckingbelievable. Thank you, Cee, for unlocking that post. Now, I get to use the SV wank word: disingenuous. If you think that she's being unbiased and level in that post, then go ahead and defriend me because you ain't been paying attention to who I am or what I'm like as a person. Yes, I'm famous for throwing my weight around and BNFing up in this bitch. OKAY.
SPN wank! MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE.
