Re: 9 (Anonymous) 2010-01-31 05:51 am UTC (link) How the fuck would that solve problems? The comm has enough problems with shitty members leaking stuff as it is. If it was open it would be WAY WORSE. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) (Collapse)
Re: 9 josephturner 2010-01-31 06:49 am UTC (link) You can't 'leak' things if they're open. The whole idea of a closed comm is to exclude people... and now people feel excluded. That's where a lot of the hate comes from. People's friends have been kicked out and called names. People who want to join with perfectly good intentions cannot.
Let people join, have rules, remove those who break them. It think it would relieve a lot of the tension. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) (Collapse)
Re: 9 (Anonymous) 2010-01-31 08:34 am UTC (link) Um. No. The idea of the closed comm is to keep out jackasses. People would hate on us whether it was opened or closed. If it were open people would get mocked even more, much more openly. And a lot of members there only delurked because the comm is closed, which has made them feel like they are safer from jackasses who make fun of them in other comms. Also, if the comm was open and kicked out people for breaking rules people would still freak out and say they kicked people our for no reason and are elitest or some shit.

Re: 9 josephturner 2010-01-31 08:44 am UTC (link) WELL, MY OPINION DIFFERS FROM YOURS. CLEARLY, HAVING IT CLOSED ISN'T HELPING WITH THE MOCKING AND STUFF STILL GETS LEAKED. THE WRITERS WHO DON'T LOCK THEIR FIC HAVEN'T EXPLODED IN FLAMES OR ANYTHING. ASTOLAT AND I_BLEED_MAGENTA AND LINZEE ALL ARE UNLOCKED. PEOPLE READ AND ENJOY.
A LOT OF THE MOCKING IS BECAUSE WE APPEAR SO AFRAID AND SO PARANOID. I THINK OBVIOUSLY, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN EITHER WAY, IT'S JUST DIFFERENT WAYS OF DEALING WITH IT. I KNOW LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO LEGIT WANT TO JON AND CAN'T, AND THAT GETS ANGER HAPPENING WHICH ESCALATES YADDA YADDA.
OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE DIFFERENT APPROACHES. I THINK AN AWESOME SOLUTION WOULD BE IF PEOPLE MADE THE OTHER OPEN RATBERT COMM ACTIVE... AND I HONESTLY DON'T GET WHY IT'S NOT. I JUST WANT MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE FANDOM AND LESS US VS. THEM MENTALITY, REALLY. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Collapse)
the delicious irony of joe hating ast and her approach to modding an adam/tommy comm only to become her never fails to make me lol
and just curious, idk because i never actually went to teamlambliff even though i joined it just in case, was ast ever as openly hateful about any of the ppol adam and/or tommy were with in real life as joe is?
nope. and tll is still going strong and still just for fun and flailing over pretty. adam/sauli as well as tommy/liz gets posted there regularly. since ast left it's calmer but it was never serious tinhatting there. just fun shipping
My guess is she didn't realize how much she truly bought into the belief that Adam/Tommy really were hooking up/together until it brutally obvious. And let's just say she couldn't really handle that reality.
And to think I was one of those that went to rat_bert and loved it...I have been since kicked out because GASP I like Sauli and heaven forbid there's a picture of Adam with him on the precious r_b.
