Oh the internet. I can't even quantify my emotional reaction to it all within the past two weeks. I don't think I've waded through so much wank since 2003 when we were running around shouting OMG MY HED IZ PASTED ON YAY!!!1!1!! and talking about the Victoria Bitter saga. But this time it is more unpleasant, largely because it hits closer to home.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people and their aversion to innocuous vocabulary? I will now attempt to use peerage in every conversation. I haven't seen vitriol like the DW fandom since the Pawn to Queen email wars and I think maybe this is even worse.

I've finally lost patience with LJIdol and all its assorted shenanigans. Oh the internet. Why must it always be such a pain?

AHAH!

How could I have forgotten about that?

Thanks for the link!

Oh man, you don't remember her? The woman who claimed to be Elijah Wood's brother and whatnot? Who channeled the spirits of hobbits? Oh man, that was probably the greatest fandom insanity of all time.

I don't know, fandom is always full of surprises!
