If no boom yesterday, boom today. - Or: THAT was the next explosion.

Fine. I deleted yesterday's rant, but today, it's going on air. Let there be Drama.

"It really sucks when a canon character, particularly a major one, is OOC."

Which totally doesn't apply to at least half the characters, even the major ones in their respective canons, on DF. Oh, no. Of course not. Especially not those your puppets like to interact with. Or those of your clique. Never.

"And the way she treats people that she should respect-"

Whom, please?

"The worst example was the dog-petting thing, really"

And that is necessarily OOC? Because someone who tries to convert people's way of treating house-elves would never ever tell them how to treat animals? Sorry, I don't get it.

"If we're thinking of the same person, then she hadn't even read the bloody books when she joined."

Has our dearly beloved Eöl- and Saeros-typist ever read the Silm? Just asking. Or did she just need every possible reminder about the character because it's so far in the past and she can't remember anything?
Would you swear that all of our LesMis muns have actually read the book/s, or don't you think one or two might just be running on the musical and/or one of the many movies?

By the way: She had.

"...especially about her trying to break the magical rules of the universe."

PROVE. IT.

Seriously? The last thing one needs are immature, inane, selfish teenagers, who stick only to the rules they like or made up themselves, who're incapable of getting their own lives sorted out and wine about not being respected when they've done nothing to deserve respect, telling them what to do.

And let me just add something entirely for myself, because I've been swallowing it for far too long:
YOUR. PRESETS. ARE. NOT. FUNNY. ANYMORE. They were never really funny, and now that the amusement has worn off, they're really just annoying.
The same goes for the Eruawful "your mom" joke, which wasn't even funny when I was in kindergarten and CERTAINLY shouldn't be funny amongst people who have been out of kindergarten for a while.
Also for "O RLY", but that's not your fault alone, so I'll let that pass.
Anyway, rule of thumb - and listen up now, because this might be important:
Passing fads are only funny as long as they gracefully pass when their time to die has come at last.

You know what? Excuse my Middle English, but FUCK YOU.

Mmm, okay.

I really don't see any way to gracefully backpaddle out of this or anything, so I'll just stay exactly where I am. Sure, I did something hurtful and said something sarcastic. It's still my opinion and I'll still stand by it.

It doesn't mean I bear any ill will to anyone, it just means I'm fucking annoyed. Surely I'm allowed to wank over that.

You're free to talk to me if you want, but I don't have a lot to say on the matter.

The problem wasn't your opinion, the problem was how you said it. Sure, sarcasm is an art form. Still.

Are you? I'm fucking annoyed too. And haven't wanked much yet, but perhaps I should start a serial about Things That Piss Me Of About DF. Haven't gotten that many comments on a post of mine in a long time, after all. Joy.

I know your opinion, you know mine now. Not much point in talking, it seems, unless you want to add something.

I am and was entirely aware that the way I said it could cause some anger. I was tired of hiding my opinion-- you may say that's not an excuse, and it's not. It's a reason.

There isn't, really. I think that's all-- the only thing I have to note is that I'm sorry other people have gotten dragged into this instead of just me.

That's how you roll when you post it in public, honey. Good thing it didn't end up on Fandom Wank.

[salophile.livejournal.com]

Duly noted. Thank you, Elenna-sama.

Hey, if we keep this up, it may yet!

[aetherbunny.livejournal.com]

It probably wouldn't, because all of you are under 18 and can't defend yourself over there. Besides, you can't defend the indefensible.

[salophile.livejournal.com]

Then feel free to rip into me. Do you see me stepping to my own defense here?

[aetherbunny.livejournal.com]

There's nothing left to say. You've done your own job there.

[salophile.livejournal.com]

I am nothing if not thorough.

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Of course it's a reason. I wrote that angry post above for pretty much the same reason, really.

Yes. Aren't we all.
