5:42p - Mini Wank in Live Journal News!
In a true moment of 'I have no life', I decided to go reading all the hundreds upon hundreds of comments in the News journal I saw linked on the LJ main page. I'm glad I did, because there's an amazingly wanky sub thread in there where this free user whines about how there aren't enough features for them. Granted I and probably every other free user would be happy with more, but she's so obnoxious about it that it makes it near impossible for anyone to agree with her.
It begins innocently enough here with ( a question about a feature )
Someone says it isn't available to free users and one would expect the reply to be a simple "Oh darn" or a slightly wankier but reasonable whine of "I wish they'd clarify that in the post". ( Nope! )
Things still aren't that bad yet, but with posts like that, you can see it's about to erupt.
![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) ladylynx explains (with slight annoyance) that ( people are not going to leap off LJ like rats from a shinking ship. )
And then coveted_emotion gives us ( the wank to end all wanks )
Later she makes a 100% fangirl comment, hitting several fandom laws, ( I'm sure )
Surprisingly after this, things die down. ladylynx does get in one amusing, snarky comment, however:
Oh please. Just take your one LJ friend and move to GreatestJournal already.
LJ was being good and captured all of the subthread in one go here. The rest of the comments in the actual thread aren't so bad, sans a few paying members making an occassional snooty comment here and there in other subthreads against free users (and in one case against a fellow paying member about her reasons for paying).
(Let me know if the links don't work. I somehow tend to screw those up. I got them left clicking Page Info and C&P-ing, so hopefully they work.)
