Previous Entry  Add to memories!  Tell a Friend!  Next Entry
From our very own fandom_lounge
It all starts when [info]kittenmommy posts in [info]fandom_lounge about a truly horrific case of animal cruelty down in Georgia (warning: the link takes you directly to the full post, which contains graphic descriptions of animal torture. Scroll down to the comments or follow the following links to specific instances of wank if you want to avoid such things. I certainly wouldn't blame you).

The request was first posted without a cut for the disturbing bits, so right away, people are twitchy.



But the wank really starts when [info]ldymusyc accuses [info]kittenmommy of desiring mob justice

Animal cruelty laws are toted out and comparisons are made between cute puppies and ugly lobsters.

Many people seem to think that [info]kittenmommy wants people to write in to force a guilty verdict. More legalese is brought out.

The general consensus does indeed seem to be "poor puppy!!!!11!" but that at best the original post was unclear and at worst was rather wanky.

Throughout, [info]kittenmommy can't understand why this is so controversial.

Edit: Now reported on [info]wankitywank here. We've hit three comms so far; anyone have a way to get us on another?
Edit II: Yep! We've now made stupid_free.

Unfortunately, that's also what tends to annoy people. Forums, message boards and the like are set up more like conversations than a series of letters, and signing your comments disrupts the flow. It doesn't bother me, personally, but after someone signs off multiple comments in a row it starts to remind me of an old radio broadcast.

Till next time, this is polygamouse reminding you to drink Rich Chocolate Ovaltine.

You should definitely sign your posts like that in the future.

Rich Chocolate Ovaltine gives Orphan Annie the vitamins and minerals she needs to outsmart Communists and the Irish.

This is your friendly Ovaltine advocate polygamouse reminding you that Rich Chocolate Ovalitine is your best defense against "New Deal" economics.
