Infighting, the best spectator sport
Bear with me, because this one's been fermenting for a while. Note: no links are guaranteed SFW, given the nature of the community.

Way back in September, user [info]morilkasstory was posting (really, really bad, imo) poetry to the lj BDSM community [info]male_dom, and users were complaining. In October, there was a major wank, and the situation threatened to descend into all out war between [info]male_dom and [info]dot_bdsm_snark. There was a very funny post by [info]drcruel and that seemed to be the end of things. (Full disclaimer, I participated in this a little.)

Things were quiet until this month (although there was more poetry), when [info]sheobeys entered the scene. Her first post comes the same day as [info]morilkasstory's last one. This post ignites a different war, one that [info]sheobeys has continued to ignite on several occasions. Her second post is particularly important, because that's where the first accusation of plagiarism happens. There's also at least one deleted post in this time (no caps, sadly

After some doings in locked posts, the community gets this little gem. In the comments, [info]hitonihi links to all sheobeys' articles found on a Gorean website. Community reaction is basically "lol, wtf?"

Then, there was another deleted post, directing people to pictures...promptly followed by a similarly incomprehensible post by [info]dadawg105. There is some confusion in the comments, but people assume he is [info]sheobeys' master.

Then, [info]maidenofmidian drops the bombshell you all probably knew was coming: she thinks sheobeys and morilkasstory are the same person. They both plagiarized from the same Gorean website, and they share the same habit of never responding to comments. The community explodes into a flurry of does it matter? and you're a bitch, so why should we believe you?. Of particular note is the mod's response to the plagiarism. No one is suggesting yet that [info]dadawg105 is also a sock, but it seems only a matter of time. Regardless, the community seems to have been the recipient of well-planned and concentrated trolling for a number of months.
