Surprise me, dammit!
(WARNING: This contains spoilers for chapter 59 of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga. You've been warned.)

Over at [info]hagaren_manga [info]maytree4real posts about how chapter 59 of the manga was, in her opinion, quite dull. Along the lines of her rant, Maytree blasts Arakawa's knowledge of the military and lack of plot/susspence.

Maytree and Electra_torch duke it out.

Electra deletes her comments, prior to a comment from Maytree that says- Wow, you're really ASKING to get banned, aren't you? Ask again and I'll give you your wish. Well, someone's having fun playing Mod.

Maytree gets fed up when the real Mod comments and threatens to leave LJ, taking her recaps and toys with her. Maytree says she feels "distinctly unsupported", even though it's clearly her sour attitude that is doing her in. She also claims "This is my page. I'll delete comments I don't like. My page, my privilege" when argued with.

The mild wank may be calmed, but Maytree continues to bite users' heads off as they disagree with her.

Edit: Maytree deleted the content of her post and links to a journal entry with the same rant. She says- Why the move? So I can boot the butt of anyone who's a jerk. So if you're going to be a jerk, just don't read. I'm serious.

So instead of parading around as a Mod in [info]hagaren_manga, Maytree moves the rant to her own journal because she's the all powerful BOSS there.

Edit the Second: Deleted!

Edit the Third: Maytree posts in [info]hagaren_manga again with a comment locked post stating that she's moving her recaps to her personal journal. She states- Since this is in my personal LJ, you should take the warning about not reading it seriously because if you jump in and post something about how I'm an utter Visigoth and Arakawa is a genius who artistic choices and storytelling facility should under no circumstances ever be questioned, I will delete your trollage without comment.

Maytree's entry is here, where she says she fears the "trolls" (the people who disagree with her) are interfering with her "work" (Fullmetal manga recaps).

Damn, if I knew manga recaps were classified under work, I would have started a review service a long time ago!

Are you tired of the Edits yet?: Mods from both [info]hagaren_manga and [info]fm_alchemist ask Maytree not to be so mean sounding in her posts, so they delete the manga recap posts linking to her journal. Maytree thinks the Mods are "policing" her journal and wonders why the people who "flamed" her aren't being hounded as well.

I have been gleefully watching this wank grow :D

I love the way she is wanking about the military not conforming to our standards when people are running around using alchemy.

I feel for mjules though. Perfectly polite, and gets pounced on for it.

I do NOT have to spend time listening to (reading) and responding to garbage.

Huh. Is that so, Maytree? Since you mention garbage, I feel I should inform you that there's not a trash bag in the world large enough to contain the mess that'll occur if you ever pull your head from out of your ass.

Stupid wanker.

Well, I suppose all the FMA wank had to go somewhere, since fm_alchemist has been disappointingly quiet of late.

Oh, fandom! I've been watching this wank, too, and fighting the urge to participate in some of it. I agree with [info]sheep; poor mjules. Looks like MayTree4Real started out a bit rabid and then got to frothing at the mouth when someone disagreed with her.

Am I the only person who has been waiting for near two and a half years for backstory and wish people wouldn't wank now that Arakawa is giving it out? On the other hand, I didn't know about that comm before, so this wank has been useful to me!

I knew this would happen as soon as I saw that post earlier today. I almost wanked myself until I realized it would be funnier to mock it later.

On the other hand, if you're getting something nice for free, only idiots shoot themselves in foot and throw it away.

Yes, because you're the ONLY PERSON ON THE INTERNET to ever give quasi-intellectual reviews of the lastest issue of Fullmetal Alchemist Manga. And I am the lovechild of Xenu and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

If she's so knowledgeable about the internet then she ought to realize that nobody will give a shit if she leaves. Sorry honey, we can be apathetic too!

I *knew* this would happen. Maytree went all sour grapes on the Fullmetal Alchemist TWOP topic a few months ago, because the mod told her to stop posting her manga recaps (which I actually like). She was still holding onto her grudge from that when she started posting her manga recaps in her own LJ, not so long ago.

I almost posted early on to say she should wait for the translation before posting an opinion on the chapter, but now I'm glad I stayed far, far away from this. She was a wankbomb waiting to explode.

If you post nonsense, I will either tell you straight up "That's nonsense", or I will delete. If you post interesting and thougtful stuff, we'll have a nice discussion.

And if you act like a complete dickweed, we will point and laugh at you.

(Wow, *somebody* sounds like she's in need of Midol PMS).

But... but... I've always thought that while yes, it's your topic but you posted it on a community, you should expect people to 1) disagree with you 2) end up going OT somewhere 3) agree with you etc etc etc

Why delete when someone posts "nonsense"? Much better to leave it there so other people can read and laugh. Brilliant discussions have started out from nonsense before.

(I can't be the only who thinks that once you've posted onto a community, the post becomes community "property" so to speak and it's kind of wanky to delete comments on it *shrugs*)

God, and I thought the manga was safe.

It kind of looked like an intelligent conversation, then, well... man she sure gets confrontational about anything anyone disagrees about with her.

This is exactly why I left ZOMGFTA.

And I'm sure they were all very sad to see her go, especially after she wanked all over the forums about chapter 58.

This is exactly why I left ZOMGFTA. You support jerks like "Don't like it don't read it" person and give ME a hard time when I spend a great deal of time and effort trying to contribute to this community.

Why the hell do I bother?

If you want intelligent discussions and people to participate, you have to support them, not shut them down. I am feeling distinctly unsupported.


I knew she would scream "ZOMG OPPRESSION" at some point.

Bloody hell, and after getting into a flame war with some other person about E3 and how they're feeling anguished. I need a hard drink. *pops open a vanilla coke*

FMA fandom will always find a reason and method to wank. I'm a horrible person and I love it.

...Like, I screen "Trigun" for the housemate and only show her the decent episodes (neither of us have seen it before)...

Trigun's only 26 episiodes, most of which are kind of important to the, I dunno, PLOT!? What, this chick wants the Reader's Digest version of anime and manga or what? And WTF is the point of watching/reading something if you skip over half the story? *perplexed* If the series is that boring that she can't stand to watch the majority of it, I'd say that maybe she should stop trying to half-assedly pick out the "highlights" and just move on to something that fits her goldfish-sized attention span.

Does anyone else have this feeling like a lot of these angry diatribes lately are coming from scary fangirls who fixated on the series so completely and annoyingly that, once they outgrew their obsession, their only avenue for a face-saving escape is to manufacture drama and blame that for 'driving them away from the fandom?'

Or, in a sentence: SOMEBODY, PLEASE! STOP ME BEFORE I GLOMP AGAIN!

God, I feel bad for csakuras. D: I supported the way she shut down the thread when it was starting to get too wank-infested and acted civil to Maytree when she was obviously asking for trouble. It's possible she could have been more firm to the OP to keep the wank from spreading, but any intelligent person would have TAKEN THE HINT by the mod's first post. And any person who wouldn't....would find some way to wank anyway. :/

Biting people's heads off when they don't agree to you =/= indispensible contribution. thxgnite.
