Well, WELL, well

Remember when I asked "does this make me famous or does this make me fandomwank?

The answer turns out to be fandomwank.

I hope the folks mining my LJ for wankability enjoyed the boring stuff about my cold and my cats.

There's a reason it's called "fandomWANK". That's because most of the people who post on it are, frankly, wankers. Entitlement whores. Bullies, who believe that anything you can get away with doing is JUST FINE, and no one else has any right to hold a different opinion. Under other circumstances, such as Iraq, this is called "arguing that might makes right" -- but they'll never get it, because of course when THEY'RE doing it, well, That's Different.

Bing bing bing. What I don't get (from reading the thread) is that they have any concept that what some (not all) of the people in Nea's thread were saying, "We think this is a pretty nasty invasion of people's privacy and rights, and unless you give a decent arguement (not, "Well, because she showed up in public wearing a tight skirt she gave her consent to whatever happened to her."), we're really not going to change our minds." Which apparently got twisted around to... um, because we don't agree with the great amorphous "Them", we totally SUX.

Ah, so you know them well?

LOL! Sorry, that was just such a perfect description of that crew that I couldn't resist.
