I changed the rules but I'm not going to tell you which, and stop being so passive-aggressive!
Since F_W seems to be suffering from an abundance of fail and grudgewank, it falls to dear old

otf_wank to keep us amused and away from the unfunny! Today we bring you...a polyamory wank!

...

Yeah that would be a terrible idea. Really it's a fantastic piece of mod-wank taking place in the lj polyamory community. Edit: This wank courtesy of the mouse brigade in

wank_report

So

00goddess is the mod of the polyamory community. She makes a post letting people know she changed the rules of the comm. However, she doesn't say what change she's made, or link to them. And no, I have no idea what the "ongoing problem" is, or the rule s/he changed.

Don't you just love it when things kick off in the first thread? Basically, people ask for a direct link. Now, let me just quote comments #3 and 4 from this thread, and I think we have everything we need to know:

triadruid: "It seems perfectly reasonable to ask what's new, but if you wish to make it a guessing game..."

00goddess: "I don't wish to make it a guessing game. What I want is for people to read the whole damn thing attentively.

Passive-aggressive comments? Just annoy me."

AND WE'RE OFF.

In her personal journal, 00goddess confides to the masses that she's been contemplating deleting the comm. This thread...I don't even know what the fuck is going on here. Suffice it to say that both parties miss each others' points by miles and then there's butthurt for everyone!

Then it goes back to the community, with this post. I don't think I even need to tell you to scroll down for a good time.

I'm capping a bit but I don't have time to grab all the comments before work. I heartily encourage any wankas with time on their hands to archive this for posterity, however!

	My friend met Allison outside 9 to 5 last night and apparently asked her to do it. The answer was, sadly, a firm no. :[ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Awww, that's sad. I was going to say "BUT HOW COOL WOULD IT BE TO MEET HER?" and then I remembered the scene of Kristin Chenoweth walking next to her and though "and also, how awkward." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh god. Now I need to go see if that's on YouTube, I don't remember that one. Apparently, she is SUPER nice, at least according to my friend, so that's a plus! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Did you know that was something Allison Janney was doing for the cast and crew one day, and Aaron Sorkin saw it, and immediately wrote it into the next ep? I am rewatching all of West Wing and when I saw that, I did a google search on trivia and found that in imdb! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Here you go! I HAD WOOT CANOW! And the follow up: You wewe vague, you wewe hostaw, you wewe bewigewent! And one more: The Pwesident needs to be bwiefed on the events of the day. After that, it was back to regular Allison Janney voice, but that trio of scenes never fails to make me laugh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Nah, he's not. Well, he is (over-confident, full of himself and frequently smug), but he's not genuinely nasty (...as a rule) and they all tease each other routinely. Josh would have had the exact same treatment (probably from Sam, at the very least) if he'd been on the receiving end of the woot canaw.

Also, he spends the rest of the episode getting a well-deserved butt-kicking around the ballcourt, which helps.

...Admittedly, as a self-confessed Josh Lyman fangirl, I may be somewhat biased. I mitigate this with the fact that I love CJ more.

	Ah, I stand corrected. But the worst part of this story is my own woot canaw has been put off until the 6th. cries moar (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

D: Oh noes! Good luck when it comes around.

*grins* I adore pretty much the entire West Wing cast (I even like Mandy!) but Josh and CJ are probably my favourites. (Except also Leo, and Charlie, and Joey, and Jed and Mrs Landingham and... you get the idea.) Josh can be a dick but he gets a regular karmic comeuppance and he's a sweetheart too: he's written with a wonderful depth to him.

Though I suspect his charm is helped by the fact Bradley Whitford's woobieface is possibly the best on earth. (Except maybe Toby's, but that's only because Toby's woobieface is so rare and makes him look like an exceptionally miserable elderly beagle.)

PS. Icon love!
