and one last thing
Apologies to the rest of you. This post is really a continuation of comments in this post intended for madderbrad, who in all likelihood won't read it. I exceeded the 1586 character limit in this response (maybe I should post in "I_wank" on journalfen, that could be fun), so, rather than split my words up into separate comments (which tends to get confusing
( Read more... )
I was raised to clean up after myself, so sure, I'll do my bit.
Try and divorce yourself from the history books, Delylah, and remember how all this started; I dared to suggest that Ginny *wasn't* a (head) 'bitch', remember? You weren't impressed, but said you'd 'play along', and refuted my argument that she was a 'bully'. Your definition and argument convinced me that I'd used the wrong term ... so I conceded that point to you. All still serene on Delylah's blog ... but then you turned the conversation into being all about *me*. Which was flattering ... maybe if I'd ducked out then I could have saved you from your absorption of all of those repugnant thoughts and mannerisms of the ugly end of your side of the fandom.
Still - going back to the beginning - I'll repeat what I said earlier, and which seemed to almost do the trick until you dredged up past insults against Ginny, Rowling and the H/G sub-fandom. I had no intent of 'hurting' you in posting about Ginny. I wasn't 'trolling' your blog looking for a reaction. I'm sorry I've upset you so much you've gone to all of this trouble and research on account of my comments.
The ultimate thought experiment - knowing how things ended up, would I make the same post if I could do it all over again? No. Although I'm fascinated by how you've been affected by your 'research', no.
The rest of the mess here is yours. I'll leave the mop by the door.
