Will the wank never end?

[info]shiirley
Remember the trainwreck that two girls caused in the BitofEarth community, leaving behind a huge financial mess for other fans to clean up?

Well, it's not over yet.

This time, Turimel decides to wank Sean Astin after receiving no replies to her e-mails concerning the situation.

Everyone talks about what a saint Sean is. Well, you know what? People are like tea bags. You see what they're made of when they get in hot water. You take Sean out of a sea of adoring, complimentary fans, and put him in a difficult real-life situation, and you know what? Mr. Concern For Others can't be bothered to say "Thanks." Or, God forbid, offer to help resolve the situation.

Wait! That's not all! Let's see the comments posted to the LJ!

Notable ones:
How dare you chastize Sean Astin (and others, but most particualrly Sean) because they won't dance to your tune and align themselves with your neurotic witch hunt.

You need to get some kind of professional counseling to help you get past all this before it does even more damage to your life. Your problem, now, isn't Abby and Jordan. Your problem now is YOU.

And as far as dealing with difficult real-life situations, since you have no true understanding of what it is he actually goes through in his real life (and neither do I, for that matter), you have definitely misspoke about his ability to cope with what YOU have termed a "difficult real-life situation".

Wank on, LOTR.

Everloving Goddess, the Hobbitwank Never Ends

[info]vasaris
Mostly this is just an update for those of us who were so amused by the fake C&D order sent to Turimel by Amy Player/Jordan Wood and Abby Stone.

Turns out that a) our faint hopes that it could be considered extortion have been squashed and b) the crooked accounting used by said ladies is even worse than previously believed.

Here's to hoping that the Oregon Attorney General puts his/her butt in gear to go after BoE as a fraudulent charity because, even as an uninvolved bystander, I'm personally getting pissed off by our injustice system.

Victoria Bitter Bites Again

[info]vasaris
Y'all remember the TentMoot crash and sundry fallout?

Well, Turimel has been doing a splendid job over at LiveJournal keeping track of/calling for evidence regarding the various cons that seem to have been perpetrated by Ms. Stone and Ms. Player.

Everything is going along well when Turimel receives this which is frankly too damn funny for words.

Please. Giggle and Point. Repeatedly.

And the wank goes on...

[info]kijikun
Remeber the wank earlier this week about Victora Bitter?
Aparently its growing...

We've got Entwife speaking of how she was blamed for things not her fault, and the her posts were disappering.

We have bands and clebs being out right lied to. Charities not receiving money promised. And to top it all off, people still standing behind OrganeBlossom.

This Post on the new Prancing Pony

Need a recap? Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, by [info]mpoetess

Lord, forgive me for what I am about to do.

But it's just too fucking funny to resist.

Remember Victoria Bitter? Sure ya do! After all, when someone becomes possessed by the spirit of Merry the hobbit, starts babbling in tongues, fakes her own death, convinces numerous people who really ought to know better that she's "Jordan Wood" (in other words, Elijah Wood, complete with a magical gender-switch that, according to her besotted partner in folie-á-stupid, OrangeblossomB the webmistress of the Bit of Earth fansite, included actually physically growing a dick) that's a person who's made themselves pretty goddamned unforgettable.

And now s/he is back! First on the side of a milk carton, then busted for identity theft. (The relevant post is about halfway down the page, by "Turimel".

The suckers sheep Bit-of-Earthers are stunned and shocked to find out that their pal "Mister Frodo" was A) a woman pretending to be a man, B) a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be Elijah Wood, C) a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be Elijah Wood pretending to be Frodo, D) the sole beneficiary, along with Orangeblossom, of quite a bit of the money the site raised through various charity events.

I have the feeling that this one is just going to get better, because wank involving Victoria Bitter is never less than operatic in its scope. Mean-spirited, I sit back and enjoy.

EDIT: If you want the Cliffs Notes background to this sprawling epic o' splurt, the lovely [info]mpoetess has done an absolutely masterful job of recapping the whole ginormous bewildering tangled thing: Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, and Part Five.

It's like the Citizen Kane of wank. It's just so beautiful. *stares*

EDIT 2: No, I don't know for sure whose identity she's being charged with stealing. Right now my money's on Elijah Wood, since one of the "charity events" was supposed to have Elijah as a celebrity guest and solicited donations and sold a bunch of tickets on the strength of that. (And this is, after all, the woman who introduced herself to Sean Astin as Jordan Wood, and then roped him into being the -- very perplexed -- go-between for her "marriage proposal" to Orangeblossom.)
