Making Wank
So one of Teresa Nielsen Hayden's neighbors turns up dead. She's a little freaked out, given that he's been decomposing under her floorboards for the past week or so and has only just now been discovered.

Later, she posts a follow-up in which it transpires that the guy a) was probably murdered, rather than passing away peacefully mid-Seinfeld as was previously supposed, and b) was a bouncer at a notoriously skeevy strip club.

She winds up the entry by noting that "there turns out to be a bloggy connection" to the place, as a couple of right-wing blog kiddies paid it a visit "three weeks before it got busted". But she makes the mistake of referring to the bloggers in question as "fairly lame" and "strikingly stupid" respectively.

In storms the first blogger, Karol, to defend her honor and accuse Teresa of Typical Liberal Hypocrisy because Teresa's spouse is performing with his band at a (presumably less skeevy) strip club as we speak. And - need I say it? - she brings all her friends with her.

Wanksplosion ensues, made slightly hard to follow by the disemvowelling of various comments, but containing plenty of intact gems.

They've started in with the disemvowelling? I read it this morning before they did that, and meant to check in later to see what happened. Looks like I have a bit more entertainment to read...

It's at 230 comments now. I confess I've been sitting on it since Karol turned up, waiting it for become wankworthy.

I deeply envy TNH that she can disemvowel people. I mean, I understand that LJ is so wanky that we would have a nuclear meltdown if people were ever allowed to edit their own comments or, for that matter, other people's. But I long to get my disemvowel on, let me tell you what.

On one hand, Karol and Jessica need to get off my side, for they are making it look stupid, vapid, and clueless.

On the other, am blown away by the level of pretentiousness in Making Light.

*would like both sides to kindly STFU, plz*

Shortsighted name-calling may have a place in grade school, but the adult world looks down upon such bush league tactics.

Oh, for fuck's sake, what is it with these people? Do they never, ever get out in the real world?

Wankpoints to the friends for not grasping the actual insult offered to their friend. (Is there a law that states that anyone who comes to defend their friend will automatically miss the point?)

Wankpoints to Teresa Nielsen Hayden for insulting two strangers over what looks like an incredibly subtle violation of Hayden's own code.

Megawankpoints to the blog regulars for turning a minor slur into a discussion of how the insulted girls are almost subhuman for being conservative.

Teresa writes: You weren't slumming, then? Duly noted.

Be careful about the pronoun tense when you write that down. We don't know whether Karol's friends were slumming.


BZZZZT!! No points. You lose, but thanks for playing.

As a grammar nerd myself, I feel my teeth curling at the mere notion of "pronoun tense." And has it escaped the Woodyatt's notice that "you" may be either singular or plural, so the reference of the pronoun could be Karol alone or Karol + friends?

Sheesh. Do not play in my sandbox, Woodyatt, if you must bring your cat.

I've been following that conversation since it started and the way Karol & company completely miss the point is beautiful. I was surprised the disemvowelling took as long as it did.

Thanks for the link.

It continues to amaze me how much effort complete strangers are willing to put into analyzing every aspect of my life, from my career to my daily activities to what I like to buy. I was linked and personally attacked because of my political affiliation, not based on anything else and I find it sad that all of those commenters just follow the mob lynch mentality and refuse to have a debate, relying on cheap shots and nonsensical putdowns. Teresa's readers couldn't even agree on what the attack was about. A few commenters here seem to be level headed and I appreciate that.

Ok, I've got my vibe and I fear this may be wanky, so just ignore me please.

I really dislike it when people go "slumming" it just twerks me. I lived and worked in areas that would get the socialites coming in to have a good time, giggle and treat me like a party favor and it SUCKS. You can always tell, "oh this is so that and this is so…" and they giggle.

Do you see me "socialiting?" No, you know why? I'm poor and can't get in the door.

But if I was able to get in the door, at least I wouldn't be gawking at you as if you were some new novelty toy. It's called tact and class, and some people need it.
