WE ARR INTELLEKCHOOULLL JIENTS!
Why am I a member of this community? Beats me. The name is annoying, the attitudes are annoying, but occasionally I get some good recs, so I journey on like a good soldier. But, recently, and thankfully, it's been bringin' the wank.

I'm only going to report one instance today, though, because I can do that, but if anyone wants to travel back to the Kerouac wank, I think it's still on the front page. Wotah.

reanimator feels that he doesn't need to read J.K. Rowling's work to say that she's a load of shite, and illustrates this...um...somehow. I was kind of distracted by the pretty picture, and my eyes didn't de-glaze until they fell on the wank.

And then it gets stoopid.

To use logodaedaly's metaphor, it basically goes into 'whose literary schlong is bigger'.

It includes such gems as:

j7bnvaaaetrd: You are a fraud. This is the Hipster Book Club. Go over to the Harry Potter community with the other virgins and dorks.

reanimator: In a way it`s even more tragic, educated people liking Harry Potter, because that means that all these thousands of pages of Proust, Dostoevsky and Tolstoi have been read in vain, if it doesn`t lead to a reliable crosshair of aesthetics and values.

marlenahooch, the voice of reason: I like you. I'm sorry people are being mean to you. and yes, this has degerated to whose literary schlong is bigger... "I have a degree in litereature" " I have spellcheck!" "I have an opinion!" "so do I" "*fight fight fight*" "I'm telling mom!" "I'm telling my personal friend harold bloom!" "hb is a pussy"

Basically, it boils down to: You cannot read and like both Doestevsky and Harry Potter, comrade, or the world will be eaten by a pack of scarf-wearing, pipe-smoking, Bloom-quoting jackals with three legs and an eye twitch.

Stop liking what I like, wankers. You're making what I like look like asshattery.
