'Hotlinking Wank' or, 'How Rupionic Learned to Love the Taste of Shoeleather'
Rupionic, on the Evils of Hotlinking.

Rupionic hasn't got a clear understanding of what precisely hotlinking is. I can't really talk; I usually whimper and take my technical issues to [info]eljuno.
The thing is, Rupionic thought that her research had led her to a thorough understanding of the subject, as we can see from her Epistle to the Hotlinkers, above. It even has its own kitten reference and humorous graphic, which I can guarantee you someone will hotlink.

The wankery starts here, with Lafeemechante telling people to 'be a sport' and take the extra 30 seconds to gack an image properly rather than hotlink. Looks innocent? Sure it does! Scroll down a mite and you see the gloves come off as she and Cypher smack each other around here. Accusations of 'heinous bitchery' abound! As you scroll down, the whole mess just keeps degenerating. I swear, I'm expecting a violation of Snacky's Law any second now.

The whole wank is shortish, but it might grow. I've got the very highest hopes for it.

This wank brought to you by a mousie in the most recent Debunkingwhite wank, and the letter F.
