So, I don't know.
I found the deletion slightly amusing, if incredibly mind-boggling, at first, before we knew what really happened. I mean, drama! Conspiracy theories! Who is Brad? Yeah.

But now, I find the explanation mildly insulting at best. I mean, seriously. Number one, decide if you wanted it to be funny or if you wanted to teach "us", whoever "us" is, a lesson, and number two, stop fucking whining about feeling alienated after posting those innocent boggly-eyed posts in your journals about how you didn't know what happened, even though you did. Okay, JFs I understand. But Aja - I know you aren't reading this, but whatever - why in the world did you think it necessary to post about it in your LOCKED LIVEJOURNAL?

And the funniest thing about it - really, see me laugh - are the moans about how "the community has gone to shit in the past two months." Um, NO. What I noticed were a lot of people - oldbies, mind you - running around and flailing, starting up secret metawank communities - the *oldbies*, mind you - poking trolls (and there have *always* been trolls in f_w) - abusing i_wank - really! It is so hypocritical to do all this and complain about newbies who allegedly "don't know how the community is supposed to run."

Who was supposed to benefit from this lesson, again? About taking things too seriously? The newbies? Riiight.

I am a little disappointed. Which is stupid, and oops, I should have learned not to take f_w too seriously. Or Aja.

When I happen upon a whimsical poll that says "Let's delete F_W for a week", I can perfectly imagine I would check the "yes" box without a second thought, for the fun of it.

Teaching a lesson, on the other hand? Really, some people... .

I judge this as the case arises. Only people who acted like wanky asshats before, during and after this come into the asshat box, where they belong anyway. No matter how much they whine about being funny, amused about their own wankery level and/or misunderstood. You recognize them by their bitter, comments-disallowing posts, mostly.

Everyone else (and that includes Aja for me) benefits of the "You dumbasses. I'm a mental patient fandom_wanker. I'm *supposed* to act out!" thing.
