Not to stir shit up...

Okay, maybe to stir *some* shit up.

But here's the deal. I live by some whacked as American ideal that rarely gets put into being, because people are people. But the deal is...

We're all equal. Everyone has rights as individuals. Everyone's voice counts equally. Maybe I'm naive, but my belief is, if as many people as possible can live this way, then we can make a difference through our actions.

Yeah yeah yeah. I'm sweet. I'm spouting wonderful platitudes.

And I'm about to go Bo Kent too. Which means mean ass daddy.

( The value of actually being proactive and reading things for yourself. )

( Fandom friendships and the nature of their evolution...from the Kryptonsite group perspective )

( Why people speak up in kerfluffles )

( My new kerfluffle rule )

And to take it all the way personal...I don't hold with targeting an individual. I don't care how many "friends" (because a friends list is such an arbitrary term) a person has, whether it's a thousand or five. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I don't believe that fandom for the most part is bright enough or organized enough to actively go after each other (there are always isolated cases, like SockPuppetQueen or the Wolverine/Rogue FOX Faux Lawsuit drama). Usually that is spawned by one or two individuals who are unhinged as it is.

But fandom attitudes and constant declarations of "my needs must be met! no, mine!" for some reason permeate the atmosphere. The spoiler kerfluffle is a never ending one (it feels like), and the absolute attitudes have affected the entire fandom. Stop being greedy Americans (*shock, gasp, outrage*). Stop being so self-centered. Grow up and DEAL already.

And if I see one more person go after tigress35 for anything approaching spoilers, then so help me god, I'm joining Fandom_Wank and suggesting there be a special community just for this idiocy.

Oohhhh

Okay, this is what happens when hungry people think. (Taunts Craig with the Chick-Fil-A.)

Just to head it off at the pass...

Regarding spoilers and cut tagging. Because this is actually something that *hasn't* happened yet, but it could, and it's quite logical.

The cut tag text? Make sure you specify as to whether it's a current ep (Spoilers for Crusade) or for spoiler discussion of a future ep (Spoilers for Future Eps).

That's logical. But I'm just sure it's the next thing to come.

(no subject)

And people in the state of North Carolina have mocked me for *my* fannishness.

Considering how much a fan my grandparents are of Andy Griffith, and the fact that they might someday *go* to Mayberry Days, I think they should be more understanding of my adoration for Superman.

*haughty sniff*

Notice that this is only the 15th annual Mayberry Days. Dang it. I was hoping it had been going on longer. Just for mocking's sake.

War! Huh, good god y'all!

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing!

And yes, that perfectly applies to my war with the copier. *sobs* I'm burned, covered in ink, the recycling bin looks like a paper fan convention is in town, and my three-tiered approach to making it work (praying/sweet talk/rubbing) has sadly finally failed.

And the repairman is nowhere in sight.

And the copies I'm making? Have to go home with boss lady because they're to be delivered to the client at 7:00 Monday morning.
