Enough is enough, and enough is too much

[brihana25]

So, there's this situation that's been kind of quietly (if your definition of "quietly" includes wank_report and fandom_wank, that is) brewing for the past several weeks, between a former therealljidol contestant and... well, nobody really seems to know. Is it spnanonhaven? spnpermanon? Anonymous commenters in general? (If you figure out exactly what started the whole thing, please

How are you such an epic person?

And, seriously: this. Because there's a difference between what you say, laughingly, with your friends and using shit grammar to mockingly impersonate someone who's ESL. Because there's a difference between your mentally challenged relatives poking fun at themselves and you poking fun at mentally challenged people to a stranger, with the implication that such people wouldn't be able to understand her comments (I'm sure her relatives would be thrilled). Because context matters, the speaker matters, the addressee matters, and because just because your friends are fine with it doesn't mean every single person who fits into some type with your friends will be fine with it, and you can't just negate their opinion because YOUR FRIENDS weren't offended.

Because when someone tells you you hurt them, you should shut the fuck up and listen.

ILU. ♥

To be fair, though, her comments are incomprehensible.

Or maybe I'm just mentally challenged lololol.

[ibroketuesday]

Yeah, I was kind of thinking this too. I feel like printing out her comments and doing a close reading of them in English class.

Well. I doubt you would find a lot of subtext beyond "the person who wrote this is incomprehensible."

OTOH, it worked for James Joyce. *shrug*

[ibroketuesday]

I can't hear about James Joyce without my mind immediately going to the filthy letters he wrote his girlfriend.

[13chapters]

Apparently there is a lot of filthy stuff in Ulysses, but I gave up around the place there were several pages of - and I mean this literally, in case you've never read it - nonsense. Like, there were pages of "eeeh la preeb klu fjss oopjf jfpps" etc.

Me: O___________o I don't fucking think so.

[ibroketuesday]

O... kay. Judging James Joyce right now.

I've only met ONE person who's managed to decipher her. ONE. {Edit: at first I thought I couldn't understand her because I'm ESL. Apparently that wasn't the problem.}

You mean you no speaka zee English?

Hey, you know how meme has the D:ean thing? When you're feeling unimpressed by the world, you can be :|Meduza|:!

[naatz]

... you are a genius! I never thought about turning |Meduza| into an emoticon.

{English? VAT IZ ZAT?}

{Random edit is random: I really like your username. :D}

*\Meduza/*

[ibroketuesday]

Well, that's what I'm here for: to emoticon everything!

Thank you. :D People always ask me what it means, and the truth is it doesn't mean anything; I just put together some words I like.

[naatz]

I thoroughly approve. I might have to keep you. Emoticons are always a nice addition to anything.

-- what, usernames have to MEAN things, now? I wasn't aware of that.

|Meduza|

[ibroketuesday]

Hahaha. I do enjoy being kept.

Does your username not have a meaning?

[naatz]

Oooh. Pick your bondage: ropes or cuffs? How about a collar? :D

It means 'thumb tack' in Hebrew, but is actually a {bad} play on my name. I've been using it in the English-speaking fandom since at least 2002, and by now it'd lost all meaning. :)

|Meduza|

[ibroketuesday]

Oh, ropes might chafe. How about some nice cuffs lined with pink leather?

I see. So your username is... *sunglasses* tacky.

[naatz]

. . . leather? That's a bit sweaty. Are you sure you wouldn't prefer silk?

Extremely tacky! It sparkles in the sun. Good thing I don't see the sun much. :P
