WAAAAAHH on Wank_Report
On 2009-08-30, at 06:48 am UTC, an anonymouse posts what is essentially a clairvoyant wank about the Supernatural fandom on [info]wank_report.

On the same day, at 07:56 am UTC--which is before that post had even a single reply to it--someone on [info]spn_gossip posts about the post on wank_report. Gee, I wonder how that anon spotted it sooooo fast...

Surprise! Suddenly, that thread on wank_report is full of traffic, much of which has obviously just parachuted in from the SPN fandom.

The second comment on the original wank_report thread is notable for reasons that will become apparent. A mousie suggests people from wank_report are trolling the wank at spn_gossip.

To be fair, there is one mousie who admits to trolling the wank.

A(nother?) mousie posts later to again insinuate that the trolling is due to wankas from wank_report. As opposed to SPNers from the SPN thread. Where the wanking is actually going on. And who were, y'know, linked to wank_report half an hour before the original post had any replies.

A whole new thread is started on the wank_report! It's entitled: "Suggestion". The OP mousie asks that wank_report institute a rule against reporting on wanks that occur in anonymous communities such as spn_gossip. The logic is that no one can tell if wankas are trolling the wank in an anonymous community.

That peters out, but lo! Another whole new thread is started on the wank_report! It's entitled: "BAN REPORTS OF SPN_GOSSIP". It features some mousies saying the trolls were from the SPN fandom to begin with, and some mousies saying the trolls came from wank_report.

There may be further developments on this one; I'll keep you posted. In the meanwhile, however, I gently remind everyone that just because wank_report is ours, that doesn't make it cool to go over there and leave comments, now that this has been posted here.

You may either continue in the discussion there (and risk being mocked as a wanker) OR laugh at teh funneh right here, but doing both would be trolling the wank. Be good, sweet wankas.

The "ir" and the "less" make one another redundant. The word came about from conflating "regardless" and "irregarding," most likely.

I mean, I'm sure you're a very cool person and you certainly have an awesome icon. Hee, bunnyfish. But I'm not gonna lie, I think it makes people look ever-so-slightly dumber. (As does some of the stuff that comes out of my mouth at times, no doubt.) It's a thing.

I'm with Senor Pinata! *rattles sabre*

And while we're on the subject, "web 2.0" isn't a word either. I boggled at that one, I did.

Oh thank god, I was starting to feel like I'd slipped into bizarro world. *rattles in solidarity*

As former writing majors go, I'm pretty loose when it comes to grammar. But this one just GETS me where I live. This entry of Sars' does a pretty good rundown on why.

I have followed that link and I really want to know why there are mysterious line breaks everywhere mysteriously making the lines different lengths and unnecessarily making them harder to read.

It's like some weird form of poetry.

The whole site was imported from a regular html-type thing to a blog format a couple years ago--I think wonky line breaks were a side effect for some of the entries.

Ahhh, I see. That's a shame.
