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?

...Victoria Bitter?

Do I want to know?

Why does the LJI stuff hit closer to home? I really do not understand what is going on.

"I haven't seen vitriol like the DW fandom since the Pawn to Queen email wars and I think maybe this is even worse."

As I said in someone else's journal (one of the targets of said vitriol, I am guessing), DW fandom is the absolute, hands-down worst I have ever been in. I don't care what anyone says, I've been in both and Harry Potter fandom doesn't even begin to compare. Running away from it the past couple of weeks has been like being released from prison.

DW? What fandom is this?

... I have no idea what you're talking about... but somehow I'm strangely grateful for that. I think we've all seen way too much unnecessary lj-drama over the years.

The Internet has made my head and heart hurt much this week, and made me reiterate my stance that I am a fan who hates fandom.
