Book-burning wank, with bonus superhappyfun double plus banning!
![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) churchoferik on LJ is a community devoted to loving and worshipping all things Leroux. For the unintiated, Gaston Leroux wrote Phantom of the Opera, which was later appropriated and many feel butchered by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber in the eighties.
M. Webber has a friend, Frederick Forsyth, who wrote a book that purported to be the sequel to Phantom of the Opera, called Phantom of Manhatten. This books is widely loathed by the fandom "phandom." I myself have not read it, but whatever.
Anyway. shadowbree posts to the comm, saying that she borrowed her library's copy of the book and ritually burned it in her backyard. The first few comments are supportive of her actions.
( Then all hell breaks loose. )
( Crysania4 tries to defend Bree's actions )
And so forth. And don't miss this fascinating little subthread, where someone is banned for saying that they thought Forsyth had a point about Leroux's inconsistancies.

7:00p - Pit Bull/PETA wank, thankee wank_report.
Somebody posts a picture of a dog (apparently a Bull Terrier, not sure how you can tell under all that, really) that got on the wrong side of a porcupine in wtf_inc.
omygawd then decides to piss in the logic pool with this comment:
i'm all for dogs, i'm all for animals (i belong to PETA here). but when i saw that, i thought (and still do) poor dog :( but then i didn't feel so sorry for s/he just because of all those vicious dogs killing and attacking people here in toronto (and other places).
:(
She does try to keep up her end for a few comments, but what follows is more of a collective community beatdown than actual wank. Still, it's amusing to see somebody with the immortal words
even though it seems like it, i am not trying to shove my thoughts, ideas, beliefs and opinions down your throat.. it's just, i know i'm right. and you're wrong :) on her profile giving up so quickly.
