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.

We certainly agree on that part.

Yes. Do you know why that is? Of course I can only speak for myself, but in general, I believe in keeping my peeves and annoyances to myself (or, at any rate, just bitching about them to friends whom I won't annoy with them) because I'm afraid of causing wangst and drama. If, however, the wangst is already happening - and moreover turning against things that don't bother me much or at all - I'll gladly throw my baggage into the play. Perhaps it reminds people that they're no saints either. Or they'll just feel attacked unreasonably and complain that I didn't bring that up until there was trouble. Either way, I don't want to cause drama, but if it's happening anyway, I can damn well join in.

We certainly appear to be of one mind here.

I guess I just got tired of stuff being strained to the breaking point and decided to be the "brave" or "bitchy" one-- potato, potatoh-- and just break it myself.

Except that it had been breaking already anyway. Nobody's surprised. Your post just turned it from a small dirty squabble to a big dirty war. *sighs*
