asdkjsldjf ... wtf is wrong with fandom lately? Earth to Fandom, Major Tom is coming home! Jaysus. I could give a rat's ass (not yours,

eljuno) about CC, BNFs, b_p, piratejenni (pyritejenni?) -- fuck it all. It was a little funny, and then a little surreal, and now I really just dislike darkrose and telesilla because they spoilt my fun -- and why does everyone have to be so meeeaaaan can't we all just get along?

This concludes your scheduled "omg lamers ruined bad_penny" post for the day.

Edit: Okay, I think I figured it out. From where I sit (way over here far away from the banhammer), there's been a conflation between "I ban j00 because you disagree with me anywhere"+"I ban j00 because you did something I don't like anywhere" and "I ban j00 -- dammit. I can't phrase this right. I figure it works like this: pyratejenni does not control what people do with the info they get from bad_penny -- in this case, evidence of CC's plagiarism in fanfiction, and contacting CC's publisher with said info. However, she does control her community, and her reaction, and it looks like she's saying that if she sees, anywhere, someone from bad_penny stating that they used the info from bad_penny in a manner she considers trolling or unacceptable, she's going to preemptively ban them.

I can agree with that. It says in the userinfo "no trolling". D00ds, calling up CC's publisher to 'warn' them about her fanfiction plagiarism is TROLLING. Pls to be seeing ashenmote's entry #1 re: what trolling is.

Telesilla and Darkrose apparently basically told her "that's not okay and you're stupid for thinking it is". I'd've banned 'em too. There's arguing about rules, and then there's just being an arse for the sake of being an arse. It sure looks like to me that they were defending the right of people who happen to read b_p, or *_w, to take the info they get from those comms and go out and make hell in the lives of the people concerned in the report.

Um. No. That's so not what any *_wank comm is about. It's about (see icon) pointing and laughing. If CC's publishers happen to include someone who reads the comms, and therefore decides to do something official about it -- great. That's totally their prerogative. But people who read the comms, and therefore decide to call up the publishers, probably in an effort to ruin CC's burgeoning career, are just arseholes, and don't belong in a group of long-distance snarkers.
